Omnivore Recordings' celebration of '80s indie band Game Theory continues with Across The Barrier of Sound: Postscript. This release premieres a clutch of sessions recorded in 1989-90 by a revamped Game Theory lineup featuring Michael Quercio of The Three O'Clock. Across The Barrier of Sound: Postscript brings together studio recordings, demos, home recordings, and live material. Crucially, 23 of the CD set's two-dozen tracks are previously unreleased. These include tracks that would be revisited on band members' later projects, plus covers of Brian Eno's "Needle In The Camel's Eye" and The Nazz's "Forget All About It." The LP configuration features 14 highlights from the CD collection. Omnivore is offering an exclusive color vinyl variant in their online storefront, while other retailers will stock the standard black vinyl. No matter the format, fans are in for a treat with this rare glimpse of what may have been.
