THE ARK – Racing with the Rabbits

Description

The Genesis of The Ark was this 1996 debut EP now released on vinyl for the very first time. The Ark EP, also known as Racing with the Rabbits, was recorded in 1994 and 1995 and released in 1996 and provides a unique insight into the early years of the band. The record is heavier and rawer than their future string of hits and there are prog references that wouldn’t be so easily detectable later on. But the fundamental elements of their polished, bombastic and theatrical style is already in place and the title track would occasionally be part of the band’s live sets more than ten years down the road.
