Now, fifteen years on, this definitive 3LP edition casts fresh light on the landmark album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainstakingly remastered \u0026amp; presented across three black vinyl LPs, this anniversary edition includes around 30 minutes of previously unheard material – six bonus tracks, three of which feature newly recorded vocals by Mike Vennart, offering a rare glimpse into alternate futures that never came to pass. Far from studio offcuts, these are fully-formed works, some of which now sound eerily prophetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“A band that never repeated themselves, yet always sounded like nobody else.”\u003cbr\u003eProg Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelf-produced \u0026amp; fiercely unfiltered, ‘Self Preserved…’ was Oceansize at their most direct. From the lurching menace of “Build Us A Rocket Then…” to the ethereal drift of “Pine,” the album pushes extremes in both aggression \u0026amp; atmosphere. Alongside core members Mike Vennart, Gambler, Steve Durose, Mark Heron \u0026amp; Steve Hodson, the record features guest vocals from Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro) \u0026amp; the haunting presence of Claire Lemmon (Sidi Bou Said, ex-Cardiacs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Oceansize didn’t just blur genre lines – they exploded them.” Drowned in Sound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough Oceansize disbanded shortly after its release, their influence has only grown. Praised for their commitment to artistic evolution, the band quietly redefined the post-rock \u0026amp; prog lexicon for a generation. ‘Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up’ stands not as an epilogue, but as a final, formidable statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 15-year anniversary edition of ‘Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up’ is presented as a gatefold package with 3 black vinyl LPs.
