Zoharum continues reissuing past works of one of the most interesting
projects coming from the 1980s underground - Hybryds. This album is the
fourth instalment in the reissue series of Hybryds classic releases. It
is an expanded reissue of ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive (1)” EP
released back in 1991. That release featured only the first part of the
title composition. The Zoharum edition was extended to a 70-minute full
album with the other two parts of ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive”
included plus one more bonus song. Contrary
to the previous releases (”Mythical Music from the 21st Century” and
”Music for Rituals” - both reissued on Zoharum – with lots of short
pieces), ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive” contains slowly-evolving, long pieces which will hypnotise the
listener with their sonic magic. Four songs on this album come from the
same period, so it sounds very cohesive. And because three of them were
not published before, ”The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive” v.2014 might be
treated as a new album. The
album has been digitally remastered from the original stereo cassette
master by none else but Sandy Nys, who also provided the cover based on
the previous editions. This is the ritual music at its best. Now you can
enjoy it in the best digital quality. The CD is housed in a digipak
sleeve and the album is strictly limited to 500 copies.
Tracklist: 1. The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive, Part 1 (21:03) 2. The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive, Part 2 (25:56) 3. The Ritual Should Be Kept Alive, Part 3 (12:10) 4. Wailing For The Fallen Angels (10:44)
