Grey Factor - When The Future Arrives Without You (Their Complete Works!) Grey Factor

Due to demand (and that we zero copies of their vinyl studio album left, and only a few of their live vinyl album), we've compiled all the tracks from both (and more - see below), we're reissuing them both on a 2xCD with a 24-page booklet. Before Suicide had really made it to the West Coast, Grey Factor were working in a similar realm - early post-punk, a little before punk (as such) and proto-industrial music. Here's what the band has to say:

The future is tricky - and while we may have been left behind, this is our attempt to catch up with it. We offer a double CD capturing everything we’ve ever recorded. The Future Arrives Without You includes the previously released vinyl LPs - 1979–1980 A.D. Complete Studio Recordings and A Peak In The Signal: Live 1979–1980—plus a few surprises, including our first new studio tracks in 45 years. Both songs are covers, Wire's 12XU and Campag Velocet's Sauntry Sly Chic, and nine more lost studio tracks.

12XU was a jolt of pure adrenaline—two minutes of perfection from one of the era's best bands, a huge influence on us. Sauntry Sly Chic, from a group few remember but we never forgot, had one of the most infectious grooves we had ever heard. We also loved their lead singer’s live getup: a cycling helmet and fencing gear. Perfection. These tracks inspired us to head back into the studio after four decades away.

On A Peak In The Signal, we’ve added nine unreleased pieces we call the In-Betweens. Created out of necessity in 1979–1980, pre-recorded and played between our live performances, these sonic interludes filled the dead space while we reprogrammed our temperamental analogue synths between songs. Absurd, experimental, audience favourites.
