It was worth the effort though: this is an incredible documentation of both Rolo Tomassi's ongoing evolution and the continuing support of the BBC for such an innovative, daring band. Working in reverse-chronological order, the first four tracks (Howl, Old Mystics, Empiresk and Illuminare) are taken from the Radio 1 Rock Show, presented by Daniel P Carter, recorded early 2013. Three of these tracks were drawn from 2012's Astraea, along with the standalone, lesser known single 'Old Mystics'. The latter five tracks are drawn from a session recorded for Huw Stephens back at the beginning of 2008. Drawing mostly upon material from early EPs and 7\"s, this session also includes an early version of 'I Love Turbulence', a full seven months prior to the release of 'Hysterics'. All nine tracks were recorded live and mixed at the legendary BBC Maida Vale studios and mastered for this release by Brad Boatright (Converge, Sunn O)))). This is probably as pure and raw a representation of the many faces of Rolo Tomassi that you will hear. 10\" - Green Vinyl 10\" - Limited to 500 Copies.LP+ - Bronze Vinyl 10\" - Limited to 200 Copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holy Roar","offers":[{"title":"10\" - 402309","offer_id":50451469173067,"sku":"402309","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50451469369675,"sku":"402308","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0539cb42-39d5-4bd8-bd17-1b534d97a455_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727126664"},{"product_id":"where-myth-becomes-memory","title":"Where Myth Becomes Memory","description":"\u003cp\u003eRolo Tomassi is a British progressive metal band from Sheffield.
