3CD expanded edition of æThings We LostÆ, a celebration of Marc AlmondÆs 65th birthday year.As the centrepiece of his 65th birthday celebrations, Marc has reconvened with award winning record producer Chris Braide (Sia, Hans Zimmer, Lana Del Ray, BeyoncÚ and Nicki Minaj) to create a concise and unforgettable suite of six ultra vivid story-telling songs for an all new mini-album æThings We LostÆ.This audio gem is expanded on a 3CD set with the additional inclusion of the audio from the exclusive and acclaimed live concert performed at the Royal Festival Hall in 2020 with Chris Braide and featuring Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull); a celebration, too, of the wider Marc Almond and Chris Braide songwriting partnership.The bonus 2-disc concert, æChaos And MoreÆ includes live versions of all the tracks from their recent collaboration, æChaos And A Dancing StarÆ album from 2020, as well as six tracks from their first collaboration in 2015, æThe Velvet TrailÆ album.Disc One is the æThings We LostÆ studio mini-album which contains the highly emotive song æDead StarsÆ, a tour de force lyrical evocation of the legendary status famous stars can attain once deceased. Just as deftly drawn is the songwriting genius of æWolf (Modern Life)Æ which distils an almost psychotic projection of self as prey to the enveloping forces of darkness. Evocative and emotive reflections on ageing and the passing of time; eulogies to the loss of lives fully lived are both omnipresent in the reflective power of the songs æA Flowered GoodbyeÆ and the searing title track. Feel good album opener, æGolden LightÆ, seems like a æfeel goodÆ, upbeat paean to love and joy. Seemingly, it elucidates a worthy aspiration to a carefree existence in the all too often elusive sunny uplands of happiness and loversÆ togethernessà but then again, with deft mastery of the contrarian lyrical form, Marc Almond plants the idea that, perhaps, the æGolden LightÆ isnÆt any of these things! æSirenÆ continues the theme of the title track of MarcÆs first collaborative album with Chris Braide, æThe Velvet TrailÆ (2015).Discs Two and Three contain the æChaos & MoreÆ 37 song live set which also includes some of Chris Braide!s best known compositions. "Unstoppable! (Sia) and "Kill And Run! (for the film The Great Gatsby), an emotive stripped back piano and voice suite of cult songs from the Marc Almond and Soft Cell back catalogues as well cover versions paying tribute to Marc Almond and Chris Braide!s unifying love of Marc Bolan; "Children Of The Revolution! and "Change!.
