Here comes the most anxiously anticipated third volume of LEAETHER STRIP's "Retention" box series through which Claus Larsen is re-releasing his complete back-catalogue. Each re-release has both the fully remastered version of the original album (with special bonus material) on disc one and on the second disc, totally rewritten and re-interpreted versioms of some selected songs from the original album re-recorded with current technologies.
Once again, the "Retention No. 3" box includes two complementary albums: the first of which is the "Solitary Confinement" CD remastered by Claus Larsen himself, giving a stronger and wider sound to this chef d'oeuvre while staying very faithful to the original work. The original tracklist has also been extended to 16 tracks with the addition of tracks from the "Material" EP.
Next comes the "Voluntary Confinement" CD which gathers some 10 selected tracks taken from disc one, totally re-written and re-recorded by LEAETHER STRIP in the 2009 upgraded Strip Farm studio, benefiting from today's technologies and Claus Larsen's acquired expertise through the decades. Add to this two brand new songs with "Voluntary Confinement" and "The AEnd", as well as a very cool melodic "Taeknopop" version of the interstellar hit "Strap Me Down".
"Solitary Confinement" is without any doubt the album that has forever seated the Danish artist on the throne of classic dark EBM. An album frothing with countless club hits in the likes of "Strap Me Down", "Adrenalin Rush" and "Evil Speaks"... an album that established LEAETHER STRIP as THE reference point for aggressive electronics with distorted vocals performed with a strong sense for melody and carrying choruses. The fully extended power blast is a guarantee for LEAETHER STRIP's faithful and ever growing fanbase. The "Retention" series proves once and for all that Electronic Body Music is NOT dead and allows the younger fan generation to discover the early work of the living legend LEAETHER STRIP. Once again a series proving that good old giants still have what it takes to command today's dancefloors. These discs are NOT available separately and are only sold in this deluxe carton box.
