Meanwhile, RIVERSIDE
continue to be productive and have just announced the release of a
complementary instrumental album entitled "Eye Of The Soundscape" on
October 21st, 2016 via InsideOutMusic. The release again features cover artwork
by Travis Smith (see above!) and features 13 experimental and highly
atmospheric compositions, which showcase RIVERSIDE's
ambient electronic side.

"Shrine Of New Generation Slaves" and "Love, Fear and the Time
Machine" albums, alongside rare cuts as well as 4 new songs ("Where
The River Flows", "Shine", "Sleepwalkers" and
"Eye Of The Soundscape") into a massive playing time of +100 minutes,
which will be available as 2CD-Mediabook, 3LP (With both CD's as bonus) or
Digital Download.
But read what RIVERSIDE's
Mariusz Duda had to say about the upcoming release:
"I had a feeling that the sixth RIVERSIDE
album might be the last chapter of a story. That the future releases might have
a different sound, a different character... Unofficially, I called our latest
three albums "the crowd trilogy". Each subsequent title was longer by
one word - four, five, six. Six words was long enough as a title and I thought
that was the one to finish it off with...
Before we started a new chapter, perhaps a "new
trilogy", I had an idea to release a complementary album. An album in
between. An album we had always wanted to record. It wouldn't be just new music
but in our case and in such configuration it would definitely be a new quality
because we hadn't released such an album before.
For years, we have accumulated a lot of material, a part of
which was released on bonus discs. I know that some of our listeners still
haven't heard those pieces and do not realise that RIVERSIDE, basically right from the start,
have been experimenting with ambient and progressive electronic music. And
that's always been a part of our music DNA.
So I presented the idea to the rest of the band and the
decision was unanimous.
We decided to make a compilation of all our instrumental and
ambient pieces, and release it this year as an independent album. Some of the
songs would be re-mixed to make them sound better, but most of all, we'd add
new compositions.
At the beginning of the year, we locked ourselves in the
studio and we started to compose. We even published a picture on our facebook
page, in which Grudzień is holding a small keyboard as a joke. That was that
recording session. We were working with smiles on our faces, genuinely excited,
knowing that this time it wasn't just a bonus disc or an addition to something "bigger"
but a fully fledged, independent release with that kind of music, full of
space, trance, melodies and electronics. The day before I got a text message
from Grudzień, "I really can't wait for this release, I have always had a
dream for RIVERSIDE
to release such an album."
More details about "Eye Of The Soundscape" to
follow soon.
