Matrix question

On the Millennium Eight Records release of the Matrix years and Lost
Reels I, there's a picture of a poster in the middle of the CD inlay
which says something along the lines of "If you like Matrix then send
$6 for their album Silent Madness". Does anyone know what that was/is?

No clue.....
Matrix is pre-Bride?

Matrix is pre-Bride and a number of Bride songs are actually Matrix songs just with a heavier sound. For instance Now He Is Gone, Heroes, All Hallows Eve. Really interesting to hear how they were sung back in the mid 80's.

Loved the sound (not as good as Bride, but still great) and would love to hear more.

Bride released Matrix 1983-1984 about 10 years ago, so I'm thinking that it would be good if they did a Matrix 1985 with 'Silent Madness' and another album 'Studio Junkie' which could be another 'lost' Matrix album.

I'm more a fan of Bride's later CDs starting with Snakes.
Fundy, maybe you can contact Bride to ask about this.

I don't think that there would be much of a demand. Many of the extra tracks found on the Missing Reels projects were those demo recordings. Some were not all that great.

For me, I'd be interested in:

1) A new album by Bride

2) A rerecorded version of "Kinetic Faith" without all the overdone guitar effects & better mastering.

A new Bride will be very exticing.

A rerecorded version of "Kinetic Faith" will be very cool too.
Then we have to hope they do other guitar work.

Now we talk about Bride, I would like to ask you what you think about "Skin For Skin"?

I don't think they'd be lots of demand for the 4 Matrix albums, but I'd certainly buy them. I think there's only 4 songs off of all those 4 albums where we can't hear what they're like. The rest are either rerecorded on Bride albums or as bonuses, or on the 2 compilation albums.

As for Skin For Skin.... I like it alot.

"Skin For Skin", once I got over the Universalism, is an awesome album. There are some lines that definitely have Dale's UV faith showing, but they can be interpreted multiple ways if you want. That's what I chose to do, anyway. Musically, this is one of the heaviest albums they've done. It has also become one of my more favorite discs of theirs.

"Skin For Skin" was an album I had problems with.
I never could come into this album.
Maybe time to listen again.
That's the way to deal with Dale's UV showing, interpretend multiple.

I slightly prefer Tsar Bomba over Skin For Skin. When I Was A Kid is one of their greatest ever tracks.
