New EP again putting the album's female special guest singers back in the spotlight.

While PSY'AVIAH surprised many with a certain focus on male-vocal songs on their last 'Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars' album, they today decided to again put the album's female special guest singers back in the spotlight on this new 'Chasing The Speed Of Light' EP release.

With Kyoko Baertsoen (ex-HOOVERPHONIC, LUNASCAPE) and her unique timbre fitting so well this sorrowful blend of trip-hop rhythms and EBM basslines on 'Alcubierre Drive' and Fallon Nieves and her powerful vocals with attitude on the floor-packing 'Not What I Expected' and its incisive synth lines and hypnotic grooves à la PRAGA KHAN, Yves Schelpe nicely summarizes PSY'AVIAH's amazing dichotomy of sound stretching from moody mid-tempo electronic tunes to modern upbeat club songs with a dark industrial edge.

Besides their exclusive 'radio edit' versions, both title songs are also featured in alternative remixed versions by AVARICE IN AUDIO vs. STUDIO-X. Yves Schelpe also offers to us an exclusive 3rd song 'Alone' featuring the unmatched voice of Lis van den Akker from the melancholy Dutch band MISERY, a track also nicely mutated into 2 different trance dance remixes by renown act ETASONIC.

This very limited physical fan-edition with some 7 exclusive bonus tracks: besides 2 previously unreleased club remixes by trance/dance producer Tim Iron for 'Lessons from the Past' and 'Last of Us', Yves Schelpe also reveals the melodic and floating 'Hal9000', a very early PSY'AVIAH demo work written back then under the MARION XUE moniker; as well as 4 atmospheric recordings he made back in 2002 as a soundtrack for a theatrical adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic novel 'The Portrait Of Dorian Grey'. Compositions so nicely fitting the overall spacey atmosphere of PSY'AVIAH's last studio album 'Seven Sorrows, Seven Stars'.
