After almost three years of silence, Violet Arcana return with a collection of
greatest hits and the departure of Jeremy Wells from the band. Jeremy may
return at some point in the future but at this stage in the career of this
project, he is busy doing other things. However, due to the nature of this
album, he has at least played a marginal role in the creation of music on this
release. "Sonic Aquarium" compiles tracks originally found on the "Serenity"
EP, previously available only in Europe on Zoth Ommog, a few older 68000
tracks, and some brand new as well as some older Violet Arcana tracks. As a
result the cohesiveness of the album is a bit sparse in places as the album
spans almost a decades worth of material. Overall the music remains devoid of
vocals with the sole exception of the tracks from the "Serenity" EP. The
remainder of the album consists of technofied dance pieces that are very
different from previous Violet Arcana material. However they still contain many
of the stereotypical cadence and rhythm structures of previously released
material and are easily identifiable as Violet Arcana compositions. "Sonic
Aquarium" is the first of several releases due out this year, so stay tuned for
a literal windfall of new music from Violet Arcana thoughout 1997.
