Rightovers by Mikayel Abazyan and Friends

In gastronomical terminology, 'leftovers' denotes food remaining after the main part has been eaten and nobody knows (or cares) what is going to happen to it, while 'rightovers' is the food one cooks for the sole purpose of reheating and eating it later.

I would not want to call these five songs 'the leftovers', because they started everything. At first, it may seem that they left unused after the 'Something Deep Inside Me' was released in July 2016, hence were later taken to a bigger project - 'All Of Us Pilgrims' double tribute album (you can find it on my Bandcamp page) released in July 2017. In reality, prepared much earlier than some of their companions, they had to wait until the 2CD tribute album was ready to roll, thus sacrificing one full year.

Just like 'Something Deep Inside Me Remixed', the 'Rightovers' is a set of remixed versions of those songs. Some minor issues have been fixed, some additional clean-up done, and 'Tintagel by the Sea' is not a demo bonus track anymore.

Presented as a FREE Download, this EP, combined with Free Digital release of 'Something Deep Inside Me Remixed', provide you with the full set of songs recorded by Mikayel Abazyan and Friends project to honour the music of Peter Hammill and Van der Graaf Generator.

The 12-page interactive Digital Booklet (in PDF format) that is supplied with every download provides the story of how this new project came to life. Also, it contains references to the major release ('Something Deep Inside Me Remixed'), which also contains an informative 15-page interactive booklet in PDF format both reproducing the artworks from the original 2016 booklet and giving insights on this new project.
