Let The Night Return is a unique one-off performance by Karl ‘Regis’ O’Connor which took place at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus in Peloponnese, Greece. A remarkable UNESCO world heritage site devoted to Asclepius (Greek god of medicine), Regis took to the stage with pianist Ann Margaret Hogan, the soundscapes of Vasileios Trigkas and Justin K Broadrick on guitar for a special one-off performance, miced up and recorded for future prosperity. With the heavyset and poetical language of Regis’ music still firmly intact, beat driven numbers come through “The Blind Departing” and “Calling Down A Curse” – which will appeal to fans of his Kalon project to tracks like “Blood Witness” – with O’Connor’s all time post punk sound ringing true in “Clean Air”. With shadowy, industrial murk and distorted edginess to be explored in “Epidaurus (live extract 1)” & Epidaurus (live extract 2)” – it’s as if Regis went as far to channel Lou Reed in “Temporary Thing”. Best thing since BMB Live In Tokyo.
