Enhanced Version Of Serj Tankian's Elect The Dead Symphony Released Exclusively On iTunes, February 23, 2010

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Warner Bros. Records) - The iTunes LP version of Serj Tankian's eagerly awaited Elect the Dead Symphony went on sale exclusively on iTunes on February 23rd, a full two weeks before the CD/DVD package is released by Serjical Strike/Reprise Records on March 9th and made available from all retailers. The long-form concert film also goes on sale exclusively on the iTunes store today.

This iTunes LP version features 14 tracks from Elect the Dead Symphony - a very special orchestral interpretation of Tankian's critically acclaimed solo debut Elect the Dead that saw Tankian performing at New Zealand's majestic Auckland Town Hall with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in March 2009. It also recreates the 'LP' experience by providing exclusive photos, complete lyrics, credits, and acknowledgements, plus a behind-the-scenes interview with Tankian and others involved in the creation of the Elect the Dead Symphony CD/DVD experience.

Elect the Dead Symphony contains elements of psychedelia, classical, and the trademark surrealist images and skewed time signatures that Tankian has made his own, all of which were scored by Tankian himself and arranged for full orchestra by respected New Zealand composer John Psathas. The album has been mixed by Dutch musician Junkie XL, known for his remixes for such artists as Britney Spears, Beastie Boys, Coldplay, Michael Buble', Madonna, Scissor Sisters, Sarah McLachlan, and many more.
