Gompa - 15th Anniversary Special Edition

by Gompa

supported by

philsherry It reminds me of when Maik broke a string at a gig in Pub Anchor and, using the toilets as a makeshift tech booth, I changed the string and had it ready for him by the end of the next song. Favorite track: Friday Hit A Low.

Yann This album is everything I love. Fun, fresh and kick ass.
Great job.
Absolutely a must have !!!! Favorite track: Tranquil Mind.

about

To mark the 15th anniversary of the 2005 album 'Sound Is Empty', Maik has done a remaster of the original twelve tracks, as well as the five tracks from the follow-up EP "Meditate On This".

The fusion of the two had previously been released on some platforms back in 2010 and has essentially acted as the 'true album' of Gompa. Now, the tracks have been brought back to full-fat, highly caffeinated spiritual electric life in this celebratory re-release.

Using the unmastered originals, the tracks have been put through an oldskool tape emulator, creating a more aggressive and 'shrill' sound. Some of the background sounds, vocals and keyboards have been brought out a bit, and in a couple of cases some new backgrounds have been added.

Turn it up, play it loud and get ready for fifteen years of meditative mayhem, metal-soul, mosh-pits and catchy-as-hell mega-hits!

about

Gompa Brighton, UK

Gompa formed in 2004 in Stockholm, Sweden by four guys from Britain and Switzerland. The band gained a lot of notoriety on the Scandinavian underground, not least of all due to their over-the-top stage performances. With their strange blend of detuned metal, energetic punk, 90s grunge and Indie Pop, they are just as fresh today as then. Now for the first time ever, their music is out of the box... ... more
