VAMPYROS ROUSSOS ON VINYL  The Vampyros Roussos CD has been sold out since a long time but there is now a release planned for a special and limited edition on vinyl by Nasoni Records. Next month, Cosmic Trip Machine will be back at NoHype Studio, working on the original masters. To celebrate the event, the band will put together a collection of archives, available on this website. Stay tuned! ARCHIVE#1 - AMETHYST (EXCERPT) This video is an excerpt from a live version of the lost piece, Amethyst (a part of the song can be heard on The Curse of Lord Space Devil still available on Nasoni Records as Remains of Amethyst), filmed by Jef Mertens on March 28th 2009 at Netwerk, Aalst, featuring T-Bone on drums. In March 2010, songs of Son of Lord Space Devil (original version of The Curse of Lord Space Devil) were abandoned including Amethyst because Cosmic Trip Machine thought this particular song possesses a negative power from the start. In fact, Will Z. composed, in 2000, the first five minutes of Amethyst, inspired by two James Joyce's poetries but didn't have the rights to use original texts, so the lyrics subsequently changed with many versions, all unfinished. For more than ten years, Majnun and Will developed their ideas and extended the song by adding in some improvisation elements and new themes, but every recording attempt failed. |
