As Ryan (guitars / vocals / noise) puts it: “Ouroboros is a compilation of songs that were originally released only on analog formats throughout the career of Unearthly Trance, as well as a few unreleased songs. There are a couple of recordings on this release that were done in proper studios but most were done with primitive recording gear or in less than ideal environments. The driving force for these non-album tracks was the D.I.Y. spirit which was always a major part of the Unearthly Trance ethos. Ouroboros serves as a perfect digital documentation of exactly that idea.
Some of the mixes (the ones we still had) were adjusted and tweaked in 2014 by Jay Newman and then mastered by Ryan Lipynsky. The recordings are presented exactly as they were on their original vinyl release and others were slightly equalized to best present a continuous listening experience. Although the intent was made to make it flow, there are obviously some huge contrasts in sound and that is, of course, the characteristic of a compilation encompassing a 12 year career of one-off recordings.
From the first track on disc 1 you can hear Unearthly Trance at our most developed and mature to the sonic embryo of the earliest tracks at the end of disc 2. Not every single non-album song is featured on this double CD but if there’s a particular song that you are wondering why it is not on this release, it is probably because it was at one point on CD. This release has been created and compiled because of all the supporters who have asked over the years for these songs digitally. Most importantly we would like to thank UG / Throne for making this idea actually come to fruition! Unearthly Trance may currently be dormant but our spirit and presence will never be extinguished…”
