Re-Release ‘The Music Of Erich Zann’
I received the following note from MEKONG DELTA.
Hello to all of you,
the 2nd Mekong Delta re – release on Vinyl, “The Music of Erich Zann”, will be available for fans first
in about 4 weeks, again as 180g vinyl in 3mm sleeve with an b/w printed innersleeve. As the CD cover,
caused by all the re – releases, is far away from the original Cover, we spent a lot of time in restaurating
the original oil painting so that we can use it for this vinyl re – release. A lot of Details are visible again now,
its quite different from the CD cover used over the years ( decades ) so that we already got requests for
an t-shirt release.
As this vinyl re – release will be a limited again, those of you who are interrested should drop me a mail
during the next 2 weeks so that I can reserve a copy. Beside the normal album orders for signed whitelabels
are possible again.
If you are interrested in Holy Moses Vinyl, got some copies of “Queen of Siam” & “Finished with the Dogs”
out of a license deal, they can be ordered directly through our mail address.
Best regards,
Ralf Hubert / Mekong Delta
If you’re interested, the e-mail address for ordering is:
(Please remember to specify whether you would like the normal re-release or a signed whitelabel (as long as available))
Re-releases
OK, the re-releases are the greatest concern for MEKONG DELTA at the moment. As you probably know, the first 4 albums are being reprint and re-released in a limited amount. As we speak, the first album (‘Mekong Delta’) is available and the second album (‘The Music Of Erich Zann’) is currently in production. The problem is the following. The original artwork for the first albums has been either destroyed or heavily damaged. Since Ralf wants his re-releases to be (almost) perfect, some work has to be done to restore the artwork. This is the first reason the work on the album containing ‘Suite’ and ‘Five Fragments’ has been postponed. The second reason is that Ralf found himself changing to much of the parts of the ‘Suite’ composition (which was NOT his intention), so he needed to take his distance from the work and let it settle. So, things are progressing but have a little patience. In the end it’s worth your wait!
Work in progress…
Mekong Delta – Mekong Delta
Some years ago, I think it was somewhere between Lurking Fear and Wanderer on the Edge of Time, Ralf’s plan was to improve and re-release the Suite for Group and Orchestra (found on Visions Fugitives) together with Five Fragments for Group and Orchestra, two of which can be found on the Lurking Fear album.
I received word from Ralf that he’s currently working on improving the Suite for Group and Orchestra (the ‘Fugue‘ is the only one not ready yet) and that he is completing the fragments. He hopes to complete this project before the second half of this year, so it can be released.
Other good news is that the first albums by MEKONG DELTA are to be re-released on vinyl, starting with the self-titled debut. The first album should be available somewhere halfway the month of May. These albums will be limited editions, so people that are interested should let Mekong Merchandising know they would like to reserve a copy. Before you start mailing me, I will create a form which you can use to notify Mekong Merchandising. Be patient.

The rumors are true. Mekong Delta will be releasing a new album in a few months. On the 25th of April in Germany, on the 28th of April in the rest of Europe and one day later (29th) in the U.S.
The new album is called “In a mirror darkly” and picks up where “Wanderer on the egde of time” left off. 8 tracks (of which 3 are instrumental), all with a playing time between 5 and 7 minutes, will appear on this album, including the instrumental with the mysterious title “Inside the outside of the inside”. Responsible for this album only four members are mentioned. Ralf Hubert (Bass, also produced the album), Eric Adam H. Gr?sch (Guitars), Martin LeMar (Vocals) and Alexander Landenburg (Drums). It was recorded in all of the members’ personal studios. Cover artwork is not available at this time.
