The follow-up to February 1984's ''[[Remote Luxury (ep)|Remote Luxury]]'', the ''Persia'' [[Extended play|EP]] continues in a similar stylistic vein. Brighter in feel than its earlier companion EP, it is usually regarded as the stronger of the two. While ''Remote Luxury'' heavily bore [[Steve Kilbey]]'s stamp, ''Persia'' features one track penned by guitarist [[Marty Willson-Piper|Willson-Piper]], "Volumes," as well as a band composition, "Shadow Cabinet," long a favorite among fans. ==Track listing== # "Constant In Opal" (Kilbey) # "Volumes" (Willson-Piper) # "No Explanation" (Kilbey) # "Violet Town" (Kilbey) # "Shadow Cabinet" (Kilbey/Koppes/Willson-Piper/Ploog) ==Personnel== *[[Steve Kilbey]]: Vocals, Bass, Keyboards *[[Peter Koppes]]: Guitars *[[Marty Willson-Piper]]: Guitars, Vocals (on ''Volumes'') *Richard Ploog: Drums *[[Craig Hooper]]: Keyboards (Special guest) [[Category:1984 EPs]] [[Category:The Church albums]] [[it:Persia (ep)]]
