ON THE HILL AGAIN

Finally Caravan Records issued Er.J.Orchestra's very limited special edition On The Hill Again CD+DVD album. Previously released in 2002 by Rostok Records as a single audio CD it did not contain two LIVE tracks on it: Dawn and AyO Valley. Rejected by Oakman and Alexei Alexandrov those tracks got shelved for several years, but now they are on and sound even better!. In this reissue on audio album (disc one) Dawn is given as a short introduction to AyO Valley. And it is given in a full length on DVD (disc two) in Extras as a sound track to a short film Blissful Island. Not long ago there were overdubbed Oakman's vocals and drumming to AyO Valley and now it sounds just great! Besides, the rest of the tracks went through some Oakman's re-editing, so now they are a bit shorter but sound more dynamic. DVD contains LIVE show dedicated to the first On The Hill Again issue plus Extras. The audio tracks on DVD sound absolutely fantastic! Besides, there's a brand new track Fanteas Magor on it, composed at that period of time, but never performed LIVE before. The whole DVD Menu Set is provided by new soundtracks from Oakman, and on the top of that, DVD contains new Oakman's titled On The Hill Again soundtrack version recorded LIVE specially for DVD credits in the end of 2005 (short version of it you can download at mp3 page). Really great and highly recommended edition featuring Oakman. It reveals him not only as a musician or composer, but shows his arranging and producing skills. But don't get confused with the other two Er.J.Orchestra's albums - they sound absolutely different from On The Hill Again, as if it was a different band though.

Please note! Beware of Italian pirate version of this album issued by Mauro Moroni's Mellow Records. AyO Valley on that one is recorded without drums and it is issued only as an audio album (no DVD disc!) with horrible graphic design! The original Caravan Records release is done as a magnificently designed triple folded Digi-Pack containing fabulous book in it.
