about

The Dead C's trio of LPs in the middle of their harsh 90's reality served for many as entry points to the band. Operation of the Sonne, The White House and Tusk received wider distribution than the band had ever seen before, and this was the first rays of them being considered amongst the most important rock bands of the 20th century. This trio of vinyl reissues capture their intensity and presence in a way that may even blow out the candle of the original pressings. Newly remastered by Lasse Marhaug, and with bonus tracks, these 2023 reissues have been cut carefully and loud, with the sonic wars heard on these now-classic tracks for blaring than ever.

THE OPERATION OF THE SONNE
Coming after the monster that was Harsh 70s Reality, and its evil twin, Clyma Est Mort, this album has always confounded even soi disant Dead C fans. Side 1 documents the discovery of the analogue synthesiser coupled with field recordings from the basement of Willowbank, Koputai's 'most stately' home. Side 2 emerged spontaneously to cassette on stage at the 'fabled' Empire Tavern - and it still sounds like stripping the breathable atmosphere from an already-depleted biosphere.
