    This all new 2023 black vinyl LP pressing is now available for pre-order. Without going into the agonizing details, our previous pressing of this LP had to be recalled due to a pressing plant error and it took way too long to finally get a satisfactory pressing of this exquisite LP, but it is finally here and we’re so pleased to be able to make this unique and excellent album available again on vinyl. This new pressing also features a bonus CD adding 11 previously unreleased tracks (over 50 minutes of music) consisting of early demo recordings and rough basic tracks from 1992, the first year of the band’s existence. This new black vinyl edition features the 2023 printing of a re-designed letterpress-printed artwork based on the original album graphics, a folding perforated oversized poster, IPR’s iconic die cut packaging, and includes a postcard-sized full-color download card with code for a free download of the album. Black vinyl edition of 500 copies with gold printing on cover (numbered edition of 500 copies with covers printed in 2023).

about

Originally released in 1995 (and described by Rolling Stone as suggesting “Ennio Morricone dune-surfing in Death Valley”), Scenic was the group formed in 1992 by former Savage Republic founder Bruce Licher to investigate his ideas about creating music inspired by specific locations. Licher has said that “The concept of Incident at Cima was to make an all-instrumental soundtrack for the East Mojave Desert.” Scenic’s debut features guitarist Bruce Licher, former Shiva Burlesque bassist James Brenner and drummer Brock Wirtz. Guest musicians included Jeffrey Clark (Shiva Burlesque and current IPR Partner), Robert Loveless (ex-Savage Republic/17 Pygmies), Chris Manecke (Abecedarians) and John Ganem. Together they created an aural all-instrumental masterpiece, a mature and focused record which has a timeless, organic feel. For this expanded re-issue, Licher scoured his archives in order to share a number of early demo recordings on a bonus CD "to give fans a window into how the album came together.” Four of the tracks from Incident at Cima have been used to great effect In Stuart Swezey’s 2020 feature-length documentary Desolation Center, including the track “Carrying On To Cadiz,” which underscores the opening title sequence of the film.
