Beyond Time, beyond Understanding, an Old God howls into the Void: he has seen every moment of the rise of humanity and it has driven him insane. His prophet and acolytes mouth and support their Master, seeking to substantiate and legitimise his incoherence, chanting his refrain, It’s a Concise History….

This track is a reimagining of a song whose original ambition exceeded the band’s then-available recording capacity.

The original:
Composition: Vic
Lead vocals & percussion - Brian; Guitars & backing vocals - Vic; Piano, percussion and background vocals- Jim
From 'A Concise History', The Various Artists
Includes a sample from ‘Kitchen’ (from Living Inside, by B-Dada, composed &  performed by Jim, Vic & Brian).

Vic reformed and extended the original and added multiple keyboards and guitars, bass and additional vocals; he also retrieved Brian’s vocals using AI wizardry; Jim developed and sung additional lyrics and added additional background vocals and percussion.
