cEvin Key’s third solo album is an archival release of material he started recording during the Skinny Puppy “Bites” era and has just now completed with help of Ken Marshall (of Skinny Puppy, Download, and Sara McLachlan fame). The album, entitled “The Dragon Experience,” was assembled and mixed by Key and Marshall. Described by cEvin as being similar to “Back and Forth vol. 3” the album will thematically represent not only Part 8 of the “From the Vault” series, but vol. 7 in the “Back and Forth” series, and part 3 of the cEvin Key trilogy. Immense soundscapes, curious melodies, intriguing samples, and trance-inducing loops transport the listener on a journey into schizophrenia, rehabilitation, and hope.
The model on the cover is Spencer Elden, the now-grown baby on the cover of Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind.
Artoffact Records presents a vinyl reissue of The Dragon Experience. The vinyl edition comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with thick spine on high-quality vinyl. The music is on three sides of wax, with a fourth side etching of Spencer Elden (yes, the Nirvana baby again).
"Quiet, obsessing, tense, always detailled, almost intriguing, all these instrumental tracks are splendid."
