„Since many years THE ESCAPE and THE HOUSE OF USHER are called the godfathers of a second generation of goth rock that grew as a sideline of the new German underground in the early Nineties. Their split-single “Conspiracy” proofs the special relationship between these two bands.”
Bruno Kramm / Das Ich
Negatief-Magazine, Feb. 2007.
Attention: collector’s item!
THE HOUSE OF USHER and THE ESCAPE return with a vinyl single which is limited to 500 copies only and they start into a time travel in many respects.
Both bands dare a view upon their forthcoming albums as well as they present re-recorded tracks that were lost in the streams of time for a while.
„I Wonder Why“ by THE ESCAPE is a treasure of melancholic wave rock that was written by the band in 1989.
„Into The Blue“ was born in 1995 when Ingo Klemens (THE ESCAPE/music) and Jörg Kleudgen (THE HOUSE OF USHER/lyrics) joined for a project. It was exclusively re-recorded for this single.
„Conspiracy“ is a gift for both bands as well as for their followers. Or… to quote the NEGATIEF-magazine once more: „This may be the last vinyl single ever.“
Keep the fire burning!
