Quite a bit different than the other tracks shared on this page so far. "Forgiven" was the final track on the self-titled "Forever And A Day" album, originally recorded in 1988. FAAD was a moody philosophical project I started made up of sparse instrumentation and vocals which at times was semi-liturgical or classical in nature with rock-oriented songs. There was one attempt to turn it into a band, but it was short-lived due to various circumstances prevented it from continuing. FAAD only had the first full-length album and an EP (both on cassette). The photos were promo shots taken during the time of the album.

Lyrics:

When the blood is rust
and the deeds are shamed,
who will soon oppress,
who will soon be blamed?

A race set in stone,
in armature design,
blind of this blindness,
and it still wonders why.

In a moments time,
in a world that's yours and mine,
comes a warm embrace
all the way from the other side.

There are no words.
There are no words, but signs.
There are no words.
There are no words, but signs.
If you open your heart,
If you open your mind,
you'll see it...

***It should be noted that while I cite the shared FAAD tracks as being from a release, I'm honestly not sure if the recordings I found are test mix tapes or final mix tapes... Hopefully they're test mixes since they can sound a bit weathered at times.

Forever And A Day - Forgiven

From 1990, a Forever And A Day track from a cassette EP titled "Solace". FYI, the occasional little "trip" or "stumble" fill on the drums throughout the track was intentional and symbolic. ;-)

Forever And A Day - The Damned Yet Dignified

This is a track from My Diva's album-length cassette called "Come Full Circle" (1990).

My Diva was:
Claudia Groom: voice and guitar
Christine Roskam: voice and bass
Dale Lloyd: drums and guitar

My Diva - Catalyst

This instrumental is the closing title track to the "Come Full Circle" album (1990). 

My Diva was:
Claudia Groom: voice and guitar
Christine Roskam: voice and bass
Dale Lloyd: drums and guitar

My Diva - Come Full Circle

I created "Beyond The Latter" in 1993 while working on early material for the first Lucid album. The song eventually ended up being the final track on the first CD of the After The Flood 2 (double CD) album in 1998.

Dale Lloyd - Beyond The Latter

Recorded in 1995, and released in 1999 on the "Aurora Sunder" album.

Lucid - The Invisible Bright.WAV

Having replaced the first drummer (Joe Wood), Sound Color then consisted of Mark Holt, Mark Bader and myself before expanding into a four piece group(with Kelly Michelson on bass and Alex Strand on keyboard). This recording featured Holt, Bader and myself. The date being either late 1984 or early '85. Not the best sound quality due to only having a cassette copy made back in the day.

Sound Color - Flag

Having replaced the first drummer (Joe Wood), Sound Color then consisted of Mark Holt, Mark Bader and myself before expanding into a four piece group(with Kelly Michelson on bass and Alex Strand on keyboard). This recording featured Holt, Bader and myself. The date possibly being early '85. Not the best sound quality due to only having a cassette copy made back in the day.

Sound Color - The Torch

I stumbled upon this forgotten track and immediately realized that it predates Panasonic by 9 years and predates first hearing Panasonic/Pan Sonic by 12 years (December 1997). In fact, it was Gordon Sharp of Cindytalk who brought Panasonic to my attention when he kindly gave me the CD of Kulma as a Christmas present while visiting Seattle for the second time since recording tracks for After The Flood.

Untitled Minimal Electronic Track 1985

A unreleased Lucid sketch from the 1994/95 time period inspired by 1960s Czech puppet animation (i.e. Jiri Trnka, Karel Zeman and others. For those who don't know, Lucid was a recording project and group I started in 1993.
