Time Again (Claire Voyant album)

Time Again is a collection of remixes of songs by Claire Voyant. It contains 12 remixes of 9 songs from their previous album, Time and the Maiden. The only album track not included in the new collection is Elysium, replaced by the non-album song, Serenade, which appeared on a now out-of-print compilation CD released in 1998 by Pat Ogle's^[2] Precipice Records.^[3]

The album was originally released on April 28, 2000 on the German label, Accession Records.^[4] It was then picked up by American label, Metropolis Records, and re-released in January 2001.^[5]

The "LSD Mix" of "Bittersweet," though credited to Love Spirals Downwards, was technically created by Lovespirals^[6] in the band's early formative stage.

StarVox Magazine listed Time Again in their Top 10 Staff Favorites of 2001, in a "tie" with Lovespirals' Ecstatic EP:

As synthpop's rise led inexorably to its decline, some Gothic-Industrial artists have started looking toward other avenues of inspiration. On these releases, Lovespirals and Claire Voyant provide tasty illbient and triphop-influenced grooves and give us a harbinger of Goth's Next Big Thing.^[7]

The "Trancelite Mix" of Iolite appears on the soundtrack to the 2001 film Gypsy 83.
