Now, this new 2CD edition casts fresh light on the landmark album.\u003cbr\u003ePainstakingly remastered by Frank Arkwright (INXS\/Cardiacs\/Shed Seven) at Abbey Road \u0026amp; presented across the two discs, this edition includes around 30 minutes of previously unheard material - six bonus tracks, three of which feature newly recorded vocals by Mike Vennart, offering a rare glimpse into alternate futures that never came to pass. Far from studio offcuts, these are fully-formed works, some of which now sound eerily prophetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A band that never repeated themselves, yet always sounded like nobody else.\" Prog Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-produced \u0026amp; fiercely unfiltered, 'Self Preserved...' was Oceansize at their most direct. From the lurching menace of \"Build Us A Rocket Then...\" to the ethereal drift of \"Pine,\" the album pushes extremes in both aggression \u0026amp; atmosphere. Alongside core members Mike Vennart, Gambler, Steve Durose, Mark Heron \u0026amp; Steve Hodson, the record features guest vocals from Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro) \u0026amp; the haunting presence of Claire Lemmon (Sidi Bou Said, ex-Cardiacs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Oceansize didn't just blur genre lines - they exploded them.\" Drowned in Sound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough Oceansize disbanded shortly after its release, their influence has only grown. Praised for their commitment to artistic evolution, the band quietly redefined the post-rock \u0026amp; prog lexicon for a generation. 'Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up' stands as a final, formidable statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2CD edition of 'Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up' is presented in a 6-panel digipack \u0026amp; includes newly remastered audio \u0026amp; six bonus tracks, three of which with newly recorded vocals by Mike Vennart, as well as a new essay by Remfry Dedman (The Guardian, Metal Hammer).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Part Cardiac (04:10) \/ SuperImposer (04:14) \/ Build Us A Rocket Then (04:00) \/ Oscar Acceptance Speech (08:54) \/ Ransoms (04:06) \/ A Penny's Weight (03:37) \/ Silent \/ Transparent (08:29) \/ It's My Tail \u0026amp; I'll Chase It If I Want To (03:34) \/ Pine (04:55) \/ SuperImposter (05:26) \/ Cloak (03:41) \/ To The Zoo (07:20) \/ Cheeseus (04:32) \/ As Devils Do (04:05) \/ Perfect Timing (02:26) \/ The Day After The Duke (06:50) \/ Sport Axe (07:59)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KSCOPE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47664549560476,"sku":"KSCOPE3084","price":13.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/cd_3351fda3-e58b-4f9e-829d-395d5121c1af.webp?v=1790002859","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/oceansize-self-preserved-while-the-bodies-float-up-2cd-set","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
