Much demanded and eagerly awaited, Calembour Records finally presents the re-release of THE FROZEN AUTUMN's second-to-last full-length album in a special 71-minute long version!
Originally released in 2005 on Pandaimonium, this is probably TFA's most introspective album: an evanescent cathedral built with seemingly endless, unpredictable synthetic layers. The question expressed in the title also refers to the possible existence of extra-terrestrial intelligent life. Still this is just one interpretation of the album's underlying inspiration topics. The idea of parallel dimensions leading to other possible worlds and potentially different lives here generates visions of algid beauty, deep melancholy and ravishing poetry. "Is Anybody There?" reveals on each listening precious new facets, unfolding layer by layer, and it's meant to be repeatedly savoured to fully enjoy all of its sumptuous essence.
This edition comes with three bonus tracks: a very rare version of "Citywards" and two special remixes of the very well-known album track "Polar Plateau": the "No Gravity Mix" from the Decadence compilation and the long-deleted "Aggravation Mix" from the "Dark Flower II" compilation on Angelstar (2006). The CD also comes with a booklet containing all lyrics as well as completely re-styled graphics. This is real crystal-clear ice-cold electro-wave that will catch you and never let you go!
