Description
* Originally released 1979
* First time on CD worldwide
* Liner notes by Ian North's Milk n' Cookies bandmate Justin Strauss
* Never-before-seen photos from the original shoots in a 16-page color booklet
* Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini from the Aura Records masters

Ian North's NEO album, released in 1979 on the legendary indie Aura Records, marries serrated post-punk guitars with North's provocative lyrics. The former Milk n' Cookies guitarist/songwriter and future electronica innovator sings in the first person as a perverted murderer, JFK's assassin, and an atomic bomber on an album that starts and ends with death. Yet North's innate sense of melody, his brilliantly literary lyricism, and outstanding musicianship and production result in an album that bristles with energy and life.

While NEO was formed as a band, the album was recorded with session musicians including future Gillan band members John McCoy and Steve Byrd and released as Ian North's first solo album. The first-time-on-CD worldwide reissue of NEO includes a newly written 4000-word liner notes essay by Ian North's Milk n' Cookies bandmate and internationally renowned DJ/remixer Justin Strauss.
