Peak Experience

Edition of 50 hand-numbered copies, packaged only in the high-density laminated paper sleeve, with the '1' in '150' covered with black ink. It is unclear if this is a second edition or a promo edition. Liner notes: "Peak Experience" was the very first widely available Maeror Tri cassette, it was released in 1989 in two versions: the [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1272686]first[/url] was released by the American cassette label [l=Harsh Reality Music], the [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/582775]second[/url] appeared later on the German label [l=Bestattungsinstitut]. The first version had two tracks ("Small Faces" and "Growing Rotation") which were replaced by two newer tracks ("Cursed Colours" and "Endless Space") on the second version. This CD-R re-release is a fully remastered version of the German edition. All material was originally recorded in 1988/1989 on an analogue 4-track recorder. Tracks 1 to 5 (the "A" side of the original cassette) showcase the harsher and raw industrial roots of the band, while tracks 6 to 11 (the "B" side of the original cassette) point towards more dark ambient areas. The track "Boundary To Insanity" was a live improvised harsh noise opera that existed in different versions. This re-release of "Peak Experience" contains the relatively short fifth version.
