10T Records announces the release of the brand new double CD/DVD combo, Quartus Artifactus, by FROM.UZ on May 16, 2011, with a retail street date release to follow on June 21. The gentlemen from Uzbekistan are back with a new release to once again showcase their amazing musical skills in a new collection of performance tracks.
Quartus Artifactus is a newly recorded collection of songs from all three of the band's previous releases, Audio Diplomacy, Overlook, and Seventh Story - rearranged and played in a prog-chamber format, with a less electric, more acoustic sound. The album includes a full concert DVD, with behind the scenes supplemental material and 2 CDs of the individual music tracks.
The sound is a gentler, friendlier FROM.UZ, but retains the intensity of the originals while bringing in some beautiful acoustic interpretations. "Live performance is where FROM.UZ really explode and take on a whole new vitality," says 10T Records president, Steve Carroll.
"This collection takes their best material and puts a great new twist on it by paring it down to primarily acoustic instrumentation, ushering in a more intimate atmosphere, without sacrificing any of the fire or complexity."
All tracks from Quartus Artifactus are now available to preview on the From.uz artist page at the following link:
After June 21st, Quartus Artifactus will be available through your favorite retail outlet.
