A nod to 'The Days After' (2003), the first collaborative album from drone-ambient maestros Andrew Chalk (Mirror, Ora, Ferial Confine) and Daisuke Suzuki.

"After having found the earliest version of 'The Days After' in my archives last autumn, there was an excitement that grows with the beginning of something in the creative process and the sparkle of an idea that can never be recreated. Furthermore, there was a moment when trial and error emit a spark like the striking of a flint. I thought it was worth releasing, and Andrew agreed. Then, we asked that our most trusted mastering engineer, Denis Blackham, bring the album to a new life. Denis' amazing mastering skills made the album what it should be: a powerful piece of work that feels fresh and full of energy. It's been 23 years since then. We have come a long way together. It's been a long road, but we've been there for each other every step of the way. That's why the album is called 'The Years After'. Actually it's 'Twenty-three Years After'... I couldn't be happier." (Daisuke Suzuki).
