Anyone know where I can find the self titled and torn cd's from Neon Cross relatively cheap.

That was my suggestion too.

I am not going to pay 30.00 for the st cd....torn is reasonably priced thou I like the st titled better...

thanks for the link..

The self titled neon cross album is available on ebay for 16 dollars. I doubt you will find the self titled album any cheaper than that anywhere. Cassettes or records might be cheaper. Are you interested in an original copy or would you consider a burned copy?

I will take a burned copy.

I wouldn't mind a copy of their s/t either...

I didn't know the s/t was rare. I think I picked up mine for a pretty decent price, but that was years back.

I bought the rereleased version of the ST with all the extra tracks on it, and then found an original and bought that too! Great album!

I have that reissue with the extra tracks from the Frontline Life demo too. (I think it was an M8 reissue). I think even that one has become kind of rare.

I didnt know there was a re-release with extra tracks..

I saw a track listing on the self titled cd. I had the cd years ago I thought sure there was a song about the crucifixion of Jesus on there. The name of the song escapes me I think it was Son Of God?

The 2001 version had these tracks on them


"Heartbreaker" - 3:45
"Frontline Life" - 3:31
"We Are The Children (of Our Lord)" - 4:40
"On the Rock" - 2:41
"I'm Not Alone" - 5:57
"(This is) The Right Time" - 4:09
"Run Into the Light" - 4:30
"Far Cry (From Eden)" - 4:33
"Outta The Way" - 3:50
"Victory" - 4:04
"I Need Your Love" (California Metal) - 3:06
"Son Of God" (California Metal) - 4:21
"Frontline Life" (demo) - 4:23
"We Are The Children (Of Our Lord)" (demo) - 4:55
"Far Cry (From Eden)" (demo) - 4:24
"Victory" (demo) - 4:18

Yes thats the song list I remember

Yeah, I picked up the 2001 re-issue. I was SO excited to finally be able to get this back then! I had only heard a few songs by this band, but I knew this was an album I always wanted to track down. I just don't pay $30 or more for a CD...ever. So, when this got re-issued, I snapped up a copy. If you don't have California Metal, then definitely get this version with the bonus tracks. "Son of God" is an amazing song. If you have CM, though, the Frontline Life demo tracks are nothing special and you could just as easily get an original or the re-issue, whichever is cheaper and/or available.

The Frontline Life Demo tracks are definately nothing to get excited about. I believe all of them were rerecorded from the s/t album and will substantially better production.

I almost hate it when bands add early demos of the same songs to a reissue. Sure, a hardcore fan can see the progression to the song they love, but the sound usually just sucks.

And, I know everyone disagrees with me, but I actually prefer "Torn". When it first came out, I had never heard or heard of Neon Cross. So, I liked that grittier sound. Had those 3 songs from "Premium Cuts" had been on there, that would have been a perfect album to me.

No I agree with you about "Thorn".
I like Thorn more.

Torn was great, but I didn't like all the songs. Still it was a worthy addition to my collection. I'll have to locate it again and give it another spin.

Fundy

That's what I did today.
Picked up the CD out of my collection opened the jewel case and saw it was empty.
Where is my Neon Cross CD?

I've had a few CDs disappear that way

namely my copy of Intense version of Vanishing Lessons...
