Among several instant classics, ROME's 2016 release "The Hyperion
Machine" included a duet with legendary Swedish singersongwriter, punk
rock godfather and all-around musical genius JOAKIM THÅSTRÖM.This EP not
only features that particularly sombre ballad, but also the initial
recording of "Stillwell" that served as the basis for what was
eventually to become the sonic meeting of two like-minded troubadours.
On the album version JOAKIM THÅSTRÖM and JEROME REUTER added beats,
percussion and strings into the song, as well as some additional lyrics
in Swedish.Also feautured on this release is the intimate version of
"Skirmishes for Diotima", which shows the song in its original form,
before the full drum kit became an essential part of the more
rock'n'roll live set-up of the band from 2014 to early 2017. Another gem
is the indie rock melange of two early ROME tracks: "Beasts and Birds
of Prey": A journey back to the earlier days of ROME.
Tracklist: 1. Stillwell (Feat. Thastroem) (5:04) 2. Skirmishes For Diotima (Alt. Take) (4:11) 3. Stillwell (Alt. Take) (5:11) 4. Mine (4:07) 5. Birds And Beasts Of Prey (6:59)
