After For All We Know’s self-titled debut album was released in 2011, Ruud Jolie started working on his second album 'Take Me Home' which was released in 2017. Both albums have never have seen the light of day on vinyl...until now! Construction Records will release both albums on 180g. black – and coloured vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
Ruud Jolie: “It's so cool that Construction Records will be releasing the first two albums on vinyl. Despite the fact that these albums are several years old, this is not done in between. A lot of care is given to what I like to see and ultimately the fans too.”
The debut album was self-released on CD, featuring a star-studded cast consisting of Wudstik (Ayreon) on vocals, Kristoffer Gildenlöw (Pain Of Salvation) on bass, Leo Margarit (Pain Of Salvation) on drums, Thijs Schrijnemakers (Orgel Vreten) on Hammond organ and Marco Kuypers (Cloudmachine) on piano and rhodes. Among the guest vocalists you’ll find Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain Of Salvation), Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation), Damian Wilson (Threshold, Ayreon), Ruud Houweling (Cloudmachine) and others. Guest musicians John Wesley and Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest) also contributed.
After the release of the debut album Jolie started working on his second album 'Take Me Home' which was released on CD and digital format. For the music and lyrics of the album Jolie worked once again with Wudstik. The band itself consisted of the same main musicians that played on the first album, while Anneke van Giersbergen is featured on the album as guest vocalist.
Both albums carry dark, atmospheric and dreamily acoustic tracks as well as bright, heavy and pounding progressive metal tracks and were produced by Jolie himself. In comparison to the first album, 'Take Me Home' takes things more into the extremes; heavy songs are heavier and softer songs are softer.
Rob Willemse, from Construction Records: “Surprised by the fact that these albums have never been released on vinyl, I contacted Ruud with the idea. I’m very proud that Construction Records has been given the confidence to release these two amazing albums.”
