KSCOPE RE-RELEASE RIVERSIDE CREATIVE GENIUS MARIUSZ DUDA'S LUNATIC SOUL II ON MID-PRICE CD IN THE BUILD UP TO HIS FORTHCOMING STUDIO ALBUM IN AUTUMN 2017 Lunatic Soul is the solo project from Mariusz Duda; the creative force, lead singer and talented multi-instrumentalist behind Poland's Progressive Rock shooting stars Riverside. 'Lunatic Soul II' was the second album from Lunatic Soul, due to be re-released as a mid-price CD in April, following the rerelease of the band's fourth studio album, 'Walking on a Flashlight Beam', on mid-price CD in March, and the anticipated fifth album forthcoming on Kscope in Autumn 2017. II is the intense and unsettling second half to a story started with Duda's critically acclaimed first album, 'Lunatic Soul'. Duda explained this album as "a journey through the afterworld, a place that exists somewhere in-between, enriched with new motifs and retrospections. A sort of road movie about a lost soul." It is the combination of the continued conceptual storyline and Mariusz Duda's stunning composition that made this a fan favourite in 2008. The artwork and design for Lunatic Soul II was created by band member Rafal Buczek, as a negative image of the first to signify the story's continuation. Kscope will be re-releasing the album on mid-price CD presented in a digipack packaging with an 8-page booklet. "Duda's not only succeeded beyond his wildest dreams, he's recorded them as well." 8/10 - Classic Rock "the band manage the accomplished feat of sounding like a beautiful blend of Porcupine Tree and Opeth's more reflective moments... much like the debut, II is a fascinatingly compelling listen." - Prog Magazine
