Originally released in 1996, Comes third album Near Life Experience was the sound of a band heading into new territory, refining their dense mix of hypnotic noise-rock, blues and rocknroll song-writing. Lovingly remastered, this new version features three incredible bonus tracks Prize, Strike, Hurricane II stemming from the same era, additional liner notes and photographs. After Come’s seminal 1994 release Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, bassist Sean O’Brien and drummer Arthur Johnson left the band to pursue other careers. Remaining members Chris Brokaw and Thalia Zedek recorded Near Life Experience with two different rhythm sections: one half of the album was recorded with drummer Mac McNeilly of the Jesus Lizard and Bundy K. Brown of Tortoise and Gastr Del Sol, the other half recorded with Kevin Coultas and Tara Jane O’Neil of Rodan and The Sonora Pine.
