Originally released in 1980, Szajner's second
album is an emotive and sometimes disturbing
musical imagining of two prisoners on death row,
initially conceived as the soundtrack to a short
film by Amnesty International. The complete album
places dark, angular and unnerving electronic
textures within dynamic rock arrangements, guest
musicians including Klaus Blasquiz and Bernard
Paganotti of Magma. This new remastered edition
also includes three bonus tracks recorded in
1982, and previously unreleased. CD booklet
includes archive images, complete artwork and a
detailed biography of Szajner.......

'Some Deaths Take Forever is a series sharp
refractions and angled reflections. Szajner's
uninflected sequencers are counterpointed
throughout by Magma's Klaus Blasquiz and Bernard
Paganotti, bringing a Kobaian disco precision to
Ritual and Execute. Dedicated to Amnesty
International, Some Deaths Take Forever is a
tortured meditation on the electric chair as
killing machine' (The Wire, 06/2009); 'This 1980
album is a surreal amalgam of maniacal electro
pop (check out the Serge Gainsbourgremixedbya
Speak'n'Spell vibes of Welcome To Death Row) and
peculiar abstract sound sculpting, hitting on an
especially odd sound with the Manuel Gottsching
esque guitarled synth bashing of Ressurector.
Bonus tracks are thrown in for good measure, with
the impressive Thol Onasia and parting shot SN
OWPRINTS standing out for all their
ambient loveliness' (Boomkat, 05/2009); 'A modern
electronic masterwork one of the most exciting
and innovative pieces of electronic music to be
released this year' (Melody Maker, 1980); 'His
frantic, outraged music shames the bulk of
oscillator nuts peddling their dodgy little
repetitions around' (Sounds, 1980);
'Unquestionably one of the decade's most
accomplished fusions of sophisticated electronics
and driving rock' (NME, 1980); 'Whether working
in sound or vision (he sees the two "forces"
creating a "third force that is stronger than any
one of the two"), Szajner's genius is in making
the act of storytelling as relevant as the story
itself. The reissues both present journeys. Some
Deaths Take Forever's layers of synths and
distortion eventually reach a celestial, radio
frequency climax' (San Francisco Bay Guardian,
10/2009)
