citadel years
The seven years covered on this compilation shows Deniz Tek working in several different musical formats. The Deniz Tek Group would be the main vehicle during this period. Deep Reduction evolved out of a collaboration with the Pennsylvania based band, Black Tulip. The second album sees Rob Younger joining that hybrid band. Another equally successful union finds Deniz paired up with Art and Steve from the Exploding Fuck Dolls. There is also Dodge Main, fronted by Wayne Kramer from Detroit legends MC5. Rounding out the set is a previously unheard Radio Birdman track demoed for the Zeno Beach album.

Of Interest:

Citadel Records is releasing "Deniz Tek - The Citadel Years" 2 CD set in March. This anthology comprises the best of various hard to find albums and group projects Deniz recorded during the years 1996-2003. Also included are a few rare live recordings, as well as a previously unreleased song called "Photo Album" recorded during Radio Birdman demo sessions at Electric Avenue Studios. The players on this anthology include many luminaries including Radio Birdman members, Wayne Kramer, and many others. The set will include detailed liner notes and striking photos.

Note: Solo material from 1992-1995, which was originally released on Redeye/Polydor Records in Australia, will not be included due to prohibitive licensing hassles from the current owners of the copyrights.
