Threshold's original fan club album Decadent will be made available for download next month. The 1999 collection of rarities has been out of print for a while, but for the first time Decadent will now be released digitally due to popular demand.
Described as "a future rarity and a must-have for the fans" by Through Different Eyes upon its original release, Decadent was very much a transitional release for Threshold. "The idea came after we had been experimenting with some remixes of old tracks and rarities" commented Karl Groom, who had been working on the recordings for a more modern sound. But although a number of the tracks have since been remixed for releases such as Psychedelicatessen (Special Edition) and the Paradox Singles Collection box set, Decadent still holds its own in the Threshold catalogue. Featuring remixes of the band's early classics Intervention and Mother Earth alongside radically different versions of Paradox and He Is I Am, Decadent has become a much sought after rarity on auction sites such as eBay.
Threshold released the collection on their own label in 1999. "We could not have foreseen what it would lead to", said Groom, as Threshold proceeded to release a number of 'direct-to-fan' albums through their own label over the years that followed. "Decadent set the tone for making each direct-to-fan release the highest possible quality" added Groom. The track listing for Decadent is as follows:
1. Virtual Isolation (Radio Edit)
2. Intervention (1999 Remix)
3. Sunseeker (Radio Edit)
4. Voyager II (Urban Version)
5. Devoted (Fan Club Remix)
6. Change (Unplugged)
7. Mother Earth (1999 Remix)
8. Exposed (Radio Edit)
9. Lost (Japanese Release)
10. Into The Light (1999 Remix)
11. Paradox (Club Mix)
12. He Is I Am (Drum & Bass Version)
Decadent will be available through traditional digital outlets such as iTunes and Amazon next month.
