Animate Records continues re-releasing compilations of tracks from classic Agathocles rare recordings as part of an eight-record series that reproduces a triptych from Hieronymous Bosch, “The Garden of Earthly Delights.” Each contains tracks from splits, EPs, singles, and other hard-to-find Agathocles music.

The two most recent LPs, Anno 1994: the Order of the Solar Temple Suicides and Anno 1993: the Branch Davidians bloodbath, bring together tracks from the years named in the title as a complete sonic experience. As the label states:

It´s 2020, the 35th birthday of AGATHOCLES!!!

Jan/AGx had the idea to press a series of eight 12”LP’s, with on each record, the complete sessions of the countless 7”EPs that AGATHOCLES have recorded during a period of more than 3 decades. The covers of all 8 records of this series make up the complete triptych “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch.

Anno 1994: the Order of the Solar Temple Suicides

Here we have the third 12″ Vinyl LP album in the series of 8 albums with complete Agathocles sessions which were made for various 7″ EP’s, recorded and released between 1990 and 2003. This time, we have a full studio session recorded in December 1994 at the SOUNSDSHAPE studios in Arendonk, Belgium.

The recordings on this album were used for 7″ EP’s such as AGATHOCLES/ROT (Brazil) split 7″ EP, AGATHOCLES/PLASTIC GRAVE (Czech Republic) split 7″ EP, AGATHOCLES/CARCASS GRINDER (Japan) split 7″ EP and AGATHOCLES – back to 1987 7″ EP.
