Phase Back on Track #11 ~ Amethyst

*Article edited in November 2024 to include details relating to the remastered version, Amethyst (Resurfaced).

Phase Interview to Jacek Maniakowski

The journey of Phase re-started on a midsummer day in 2004, when the band started collecting experiences and ideas that were continuously filtered leading them to their current form!

The Wait reviewed on Noizy.gr

During an interview we conducted with Phase a while ago, they were telling us a bunch of things about “The Wait”. They said it was a “Phase” of recordings and various procedures, that it was basically a concept album in its own unique way and that they were actually… loving it! Well, it’s a good…

Chris Tsantalis’ Review on the Wait – Poetry and Psychedelia

How would you like if David Bowie was in a chareem jamming along with The Tea Party? How would…
