atheist - unquestionable presence

this is post #1.000 on this blog. wow, never thought i would keep the blog going for that long. it's still fun to write about my passion, it makes me curious where the journey will take me. we will see. for now, this post is about a new and nice re-press of atheist's second full length "unquestionable presence" on season of mist records.
this album was originally released in 1991 and the only atheist record that was missing in my collection but i didn't stress out to get a copy. as french label season of mist did a few re-pressings for it already, i knew that further pressings  were just a question of time. so when the high roller records shop from germany announced pre-orders for a blue vinyl variant, i was there for the taking.
musically this is just the raging complexity and love for detailed arrangements i knew from the follow-up "elements". the album is not widely regarded as their finest moment for nothing. atheist in their prime. not to be missed by any fan of proggy metal. this latest pressing comes on clear blue vinyl cut at 45rpm and is out of 350 copies. season of mist records. 2019
