carddass 273 Posted May 9, 2015 Wow, this is pretty out-of-nowhere news. I know Deep did a revival a few years ago but then that band had been around much longer than Ex-ans and probably had more of a following. And it'll be interesting to see (hopefully through youtube) how Koji tackles this material since he's been a rockabilly guy for the last 10-15 years. Even though they said Autumn 2015, it would pretty amazing if they played that Lunatic Fest alongside Luna Sea next month. 2 Jigsaw9 and Takadanobabaalien reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carddass 273 Posted June 22, 2015 And they even posted a WAV version! This track is great and it makes me wonder how a second Ex-ans album might have turned out if they hadn't broken up. GL But!xxx and You are great proto-visual kei tracks. Also, the dynamic range of the original was 14, this new one is 8, so it's slightly more compressed but I'm liking this remaster anyway!The mid's and low tones are a little more present in the mix whereas the original felt treble heavy.z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carddass 273 Posted July 27, 2015 That's an amazing lineup of guest vocalists!However, I didn't quite understand the original message. Has Ray completely withdrawn from the whole band / live or will he just not be singing the whole time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
