POWER OF DREAMS 8211 Auslander (Reissue) 8211 LP 8211 Orange Colour Vinyl

LP – Limited Edition Orange Colour Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve. Available on vinyl for the first time (2025 Reissue). \’Auslnder\’ was the much awaited comeback album from seminal Irish indie band Power ofDreams and will be pressed on vinyl for the first time on Aug 29th via FOAD Musick. Thisrelease consists of three limited editions of 100 units in orange, turquoise or purple vinyl,housed in a gatefold sleeve. Thirty five years since the release of their seminal debut album,\’Immigrants, Emigrants and Me\’, \’Auslnder\’ is a vibrant and reflective companion piece to theearlier release; very much informed by songwriter Craig Walkers Irish roots and years of touringliving in England, France and Germany. Recorded between Berlin, Bath, London and Arizona,\’Auslnder\’ (the German word for foreigner) bears many of the hallmark sounds of one ofIrelands most enigmatic bands of the 90s while Walkers subsequent development as one ofEuropes busiest songsmiths is evidenced throughout. Featuring original members Craig Walker,Keith Walker, Ian Olney and joined by producer /bassist Erik Alcock (Pink, Celine Dion, Eminem)and on keyboard and mixing duties Ali Staton (TurinBrakes, Snow Patrol, Lightning Seeds,Madonna), \’Auslnder\’ brings a wealth of musical talent to the table. A new studio album was something we had talked about doing over the years but the timingand problems of us all living in different countries, meant it never happened. When everythingclosed in March 2020, suddenly those hurdles of geography and time, no longer mattered. It wasa window of opportunity that was too good to pass up. Id been putting songs to one side overthe years, as they were obviously Power of Dreams songs, said Craig. Recording the album insuch a strange time had an effect on the record too. Drummer Keith Walker inadvertently drovethrough the BLM riots in Arizona on his way to record America the first single, which definitelyadded an extra edge to his performance. Since their last album \’Become Yourself\’ was releasedin 1995, it might be easy to think the band stopped playing and writing. The opposite is true.Craig has gone on to huge success post Power of Dreams, initially with UK prog band Archive,then collaborations with the likes of Mineral, Booka Shade and Them There, Craig and hispartner in Them There, Phoebe Killdeer, had their song \’Fade Out Lines\’ reworked by The Avenerand was recently classified, six times diamond in France. It was a radio number one in morethan 30 countries. Ian is still performing with Sultans of Ping and Keith is playing regularly inPhoenix. The reaction from fans has been great since we started releasing the singles last year.\’America\’ and \’Across The Shannon\’ topped the iTunes indie charts, then \’Hurricane\’ was used inthe TV show Made in Chelsea and followed by \’Do It\’ and \’Baby Boy\’ . We have received numerous messages from lifelong fans of the band thanking us for doing a new album. We believe the new vinyl album will satisfy long time followers of the band and hopefully introduce a new audience to our music. \’Auslnder fuses vintage indie-rock with a new, modern edge\’ – Hot PressMagazine \’Bands come, bands go?
