Styx Redo Classics For New Album
PLUS you can get a brand new Styx track for FREE
Styx have re-recorded a handful of their classic tracks for a brand new mini-album.
Regeneration – Volume 1 features six re-done versions of some of the band’s best loved songs along with one brand new track (which is currently available as a free download).
Here are the songs on the mini album:
Grand Illusion
Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)
Lorelei
Sing for the Day
Crystal Ball
Come Sail Away
Difference In The World
Guitarist James Young says that re-recording these classic tracks was harder than it may appear. "When you go back and try to do it, you say, 'How DID we do that? What gear were we using and what gear was available for the engineer to use?'” The new recordings were also different from the originals in that modern technology allows bands to record in different locations. JY says the new tracks were recorded in at least eight different studios.
Regeneration was intended for release already, but the guitarist says it has been delayed and will emerge very soon. "It would have been good if it had been completed before we got out on the road, but we didn't quite get there for a variety of reasons,” he stated. "At some point, with every new thing that you create, there's a point where you have to say it's time to let go of this and it sounds pretty darn good,”
