Here’s the re-release the now out of print Idaho "The Forbidden ep /Alas ’97/’98" on one CD.

These records represented an unexpected turn from Idaho’s beautifully bombastic rocker "3 sheets to the wind" ’96, paired down from a full size band to a duo. These 2 long out of print cd’s represent a study in economy and subtlety that still sound fresh and new today. The last song "The Sun Is All There Is" gives the listener a hint of what to follow a few months later at the millennium change with " Hearts of Palm" which was voted one of the top five releases of the year by French paper Libération along with Radiohead and Johnny Cash.
