The Interzone Mantras (2001) |
Seven Circles (2004) |
The Interzone Mantras (2001) is the sixth studio album from Canadian rock group The Tea Party. The recording maintains the mix of influences found on their previous album, 1999's Triptych, which range from rock to world music to industrial sounds. Unlike the previous album, however, The Interzone Mantras returns to the darker tone and mood of 1997's Transmission.
Lyrically the influences are equally disparate, including the works of authors William S. Burroughs, Alistair Crowley, and Mikhail Afanasievich Bulgakov, as well as German filmmaker Wim Wenders and direct references to Morpheus.
The album, which is certified Gold in Canada, was nominated for "Rock Album of the Year" at the 2003 Juno Awards.

[edit] Alternate releases
While no alternate versions of the album were released, a limited edition featured a lenticular cover that simulated movement of the central figures' limbs, as well as changes in the background images. This cover was limited to the first 100,000 copies of the CD, and was actually a separate card glued to the outside of the jewel case. The inlay and album booklet were identical to the regular release.
