Afterimage vocalist Alec Tension still had several boxes of original sealed vinyl copies of the band's 1981 12" EP tucked away in his basement, which he has now consigned to Independent Project Records to offer along with IPR's new "Faces To Hide" retrospective release. Purchase a sealed original copy of "Fade In" here, or see our other merch listings for the "Fade In" EP bundled with either a black or white vinyl copy of "Faces To Hide" at a discounted price.
Seven songs of brooding postpunk tension with the accent on the thunderous rhythm. "Surf Generator" has the most in common with other West Coast new breeds, and from there Afterimage set off in their own direction. Helped by polished saxophone and a fluid organ, the band charts the dark side of the California dream, running out on "No Dreams", full of deep and delirious jangled turns and twists. Described by one reviewer as "Peter Gunn entering the Twilight Zone with the Doors", Afterimage sleepwalk you through the last grooves.
