When asked to remaster the early releases, Producer J.A.Bohr found in the archives over two hours of Milwaukee's Black Orchid which has not been heard since the live performances. Combining the best of the original releases along with these previously unreleased gems, 'Chronicles One, Two & Three' offer over 3.3 hours of incredible live recordings. Sounding cleaner, brighter and even more exciting than before, this is a must have for fans of experimental & improvisational industrial music, old and new.
