Sananda Maitreya – now completes his remastered album series campaign with the digital release of his fourth album ‘Vibrator’

Sananda Maitreya now completes his remastered album series campaign with the digital release of his fourth album ‘Vibrator’.  The album is also available as part of the six-LP box set ‘Juvenilia: The Columbia Years’, which charts his early career from the massive commercial and cultural impact of his debut ‘Introducing The Hardline According To Sananda Maitreya’ through to three increasingly ambitious and visionary follow-up records.
 
Now a cult favourite among fans, ‘Vibrator’ found Sananda Maitreya in a strong artistic position – one in which he reached a sweet spot between the songcraft of his debut and the deeper explorations into soul, funk, R&B and post millennium rock that made ‘Neither Fish Nor Flesh’ and ‘Symphony Or Damn’ so audacious. It saw him return to the UK Singles Chart, hitting the Top 20 with ‘Holding On To You’, a song which, like ‘Supermodel Sandwich’ and the title track, remains a regular feature of his live shows. The album charted at No. 11, maintaining that position for three weeks.

COMPLETES HIS REMASTERED ALBUM SERIES WITH THE DIGITAL RELEASE OF ‘VIBRATOR’ – LISTEN HERE

Sananda commented, “WELCOME NEWLY REMASTERED ‘VIBRATOR’ into our Current, Present REALITY! And THANX FROM THE HEARTSPACE that our collective desires made it REAL. WE APPRECIATE THIS ONGOING EXPERIENCE VERY MUCH.”
 
‘Juvenilia: The Columbia Years’ marks a powerful moment of rediscovery for Sananda Maitreya. The box set represents the journey of a young artist in the act of finding his voice. As songs such as  ‘Sign Your Name’‘Delicate’, ‘She Kissed Me’ and ‘Holding On To You’reveal, his artistry was already bold, vulnerable, and driven by a fearless urge to challenge conventions – a spirit that remains unchanged over 30 years on from ‘VIBRATOR’.

 
‘VIBRATOR’ IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS PART OF THE SIX-LP BOX SET
‘JUVENILIA: THE COLUMBIA YEARS’
