Quote from Rudi, "Years On Earth came into my vision through the long forgotten Frazer Nash, who ran the important Music For Midgets cassette label in the english midlands. I contacted them about a release of their tapes, and the rest is history... Not only became they are one of my favorite bands ever, we stayed in touch since then. A retrospective came out on Vinyl On Demand in 2012. And now we continue the story... "

Update: After a few false starts our album 'What Remains' is finally self-released on Bandcamp in 2020 and it has the feeling of DIY all over again as we write, record and produce everything ourselves and also do the photography and artwork; the link is below:

2012 - So, it's not the end.... the tape reels stopped spinning, but now the hard drives spin in their place. The DIY ethic remains intact, but the precision and quality of our recordings are now not in the realms of our dreams, but a fact. Our history is released by VOD and we realised we missed working and recording together. We have a renewed vigour, lots of wonderful machines, software and tons of ideas. Some of our new songs use allegory and speak of the monsters who hide in plain sight. The sounds are sometimes minimal and dark, sometimes more organic, sophisticated or intricate, but always YOE.
