level plane. 23173 (lp 1) / 2 tracks / 1998

One pressing of 1000 copies, approx. 500 with hand screened covers (image of a boy and a girl kissing). First 100 with clear ink on brown paper, no Level Plane logo/address on back. 200 on various colors of paper with silver ink image. 10 on black paper with brown image. 150 with “metallic pink” ink and handwritten song titles. 70 on discarded photographs. 30 on vellum. 25 on speckled white paper. 25 on gray paper. Next batch (several hundred) has the boy/girl image xeroxed on acetate. The last 100 have a grey sheet of paper as a cover, stamped with the Saetia logo. Some were also sold without sleeve. There are at least two different lyric sheets.

In between the newer “screamo” sound à la Witching Hour and the classic, more melodic DC style. While the singer is screaming his lungs out the guitars are still quite melodic and straight. Good, powerful and melodic. [7]  

Emo-Hardcore, der ziemlich genau zwischen der neuen, härteren Schule à la Witching Hour und dem melodischeren “Ur-Emo” nach DC-Art steht. Während der Sänger sich die Seele aus dem Leib kreischt, sind die Gitarren recht straight und melodisch. Gut und kraftvoll.
