The Orafying Mystical Of... (Reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 300 copies; comes with a digital download coupon! Ignition, featuring Alec MacKaye and Chris Bald (both ex-Faith), Dante Ferrando (Gray Matter) and Chris Thomson (ex-Soul Side), played their first show in the spring of 1987 at D.C. Space in Washington, DC. Ignition toured extensively, including a long European trip, making them one of the first Dischord bands to play overseas. Their shows were chaotic and unpredictable, with one ending before the band had finished even a single song after Chris Bald smashed his guitar and amp in a fit of frustration. This is possibly the shortest set ever played by a DC band. Ignition released two albums and several 7"s before breaking up in 1989. Shortly thereafter Dante re-united with Gray Matter, Chris Thompson formed Circus Lupus and later Monorchid and Alec formed The Warmers. The Orafying Mysticle Of… was the band's second 12" release and originally came out in 1989. This re-issued edition was re-cut at Chicago Mastering Service from the original tapes.
