Description

Influenced by Joy Division / New Order, IKON released AS TIME GOES BY in 1993. This is now the 25th anniversary version.

Influenced by bands like Joy Division and New Order, IKON released their debutalbum 'As Time Goes By' in 1993. After being forced to live with these initial unsatisfactory mixes, finally all tracks got remixed and remastered now to present the songs in a more natural (and satisfying) light.
In January 1992, IKON entered the studio to record what was supposed to be the band`s debut single „As Time Goes By' b/w „Never Ending'. Over three days from 17 january, a total of 8 songs were recorded and the band was reasonably satisfied with the results. Shortly afterwards, an accident lead to the partial erasure of the drums for „As Time Goes By', making it impossible to finish and also wiping the plans for it to be the main single track. The remaining songs were mixed over the following weeks, but the band was not happy with the results overall, so the project was shelved.
By mid 1992, IKON decided to attempt to remix the tracks and select another single option, but this time encountered a new problem: the tape was beginning to oxidize, making it impossible to play. The band was faced with the prospect of being forced to use the initial unsatisfactory mixes.
In 2016 this original IKON session, known as „As Time Goes By', was given one final facelift by repairing and cleaning up any tape issues, and presenting the songs in a more natural light. It was decided that no more songs would be added to CD1, not to detract from IKON's studio debut.
CD2 contains the complete January 1992 Arthouse live show, which has never been released in full. Furthermore you will find 6 'Hidden' Bonustracks from a 1992 Demotape.
