Julian Sas - Electracoustic (2022) {Version on 1 CD} CD-Rip

ELECTRACOUSTIC, an unusual title for an unusual album. It is the 11th studio album of guitar-ace JULIAN SAS. The record is the result of a journey for which the description 'emotional rollercoaster' is an understatement. Playing live, playing long shows, being on the road. That is the lifeline of the Julian Sas Band. The pandemic hit. In a flash that lifeline was cut. But then disaster struck even harder Friend and fellow musician Fotis Anagnostou was diagnosed with a terrible disease and passed away soon therafter in Athens. JULIAN SAS: 'When we saw him depart on his final journey I felt our feelings could not be expressed in words. Several months later when I was listening to some of the demos I realized we could. The music was there. It was good, honest, and waiting for us. It was the right time to pick up the pieces and share the music. We always loved the acoustic demos from my home studio and decided to record the 12 new songs in two different ways: electric and acoustic. If I look back on how this record came together, all I can say is that it was a strange journey. It was friendship, respect, and the love of music that united us more than ever.' ELECTRACOUSTIC features 24 tracks: 12 songs recorded electric i.e. with full band and the same 12 songs recorded acoustically. The unofficial Russian release of the album on 1 CD includes 12 tracks electric versions and 3 acoustic versions as bonuses.
