Apocryphon: Electro Roots 1982-1985

by Information Society

supported by

Ed Castro It's the roots of this US band ;) - Most tracks have somehow aged, but I'm always up for "Running" and the remastered "Growing Up With Shiva" Track # 27. I'm glad I've included this rare compilation of "INSOC EP" and "Creatures Of Influence" album to my collection. It's nice to have the physical before it goes out of print forever. Favorite track: Running.

So happy I bought the vinyl, fantastic collection of Cevin's early music. Recommended if you're into Skinny Puppy or if you're a fan of early EBM, industrial or noisey beats! :) jeff

WOW this album grew on me fast. My favorite track changes frequently. Step into the Sunshine is brilliantly sinister, Memory disappears beautiful and melancholy. Right now Rare Bird is an amazing unicorn chaser. jbclements
