| After
touring of the Spiritech CD, Alchemist decided to
do a cover version of Jeff Wayne's Eve of the War
from the War of the Worlds album. 1998 marked the
20th anniversary of the original album and the 100
year anniversary of the book. This seemed perfect
to Alchemist and the Eve of the war CD was born.
The band digitally recorded a live set to a packed
house at the Gypsy Bar in Canberra and mixed it
with techno guy Chock. (2 live tracks for the EP)
Shortly after the band returned to Backbeach studios
with DW Norton to record the main track Eve of the
War 2 days later the track was finished. Pod People
guitarist Josh joined in on the track and performed
it several times with the band. Alchemist experimented
with re-mixing Yoni Kunda using techno stuff (You
can tell it's our first go!). Eve of the War is
Alchemists only EP to date, and sold well throughout
Australia. Once again Shock records failed to support
the band, even with strong radio play and sales,
Eve of the War was not supported by it's own label.
Alchemist would now never give any new material
to Shock. The only way out was to give them Jar
of Kingdom as their final album. |
