“It started with the disappearance of a young woman in January 2006. At least that’s when I first heard about it – just a four-paragraph column in the newspaper. (…) There was a human element in there that you couldn’t see on the surface. There were people involved and affected that you were not going to read about in the paper. There were people who loved this woman, and who she loved. Their lives were never going to be the same, regardless of the outcome. Their lives were changing, and those four paragraphs were never going to reveal the extent of their tragedy.”  (Clint Carney, album inlay)

System Syn “All Seasons Pass“: Viva Music Album Review:

Ever since we read about the new album from System Syn, entitled “All Seasons Pass“, out with Metropolis Records, we were very curious to see what it amounted to. Good music was of course in the deal, even before getting to listen to the album, but the fact that the album was inspired by real facts from a criminal experience, and promised a multiple POV foray of the situation of the murder was very unusual. Even the pack the album came with sounded intriguing, as it was said to include a very appealing arrangement of black faux leather case, t-shirt in various sizes, vinyl stickers, dog tag, silicone wristband, and of course the CD and the book “All Seasons Pass“. The book can be ordered from here, too. It says in words, images, photographed letters and the like the story of the songs from the album, all resulting from the band’s access to classified information from the criminal case, interviews with family members and people whose connections to the killing of the heroine, whom they choose for confidentiality reasons to call Jane, still hurt.  (more…)
