"It's official. Rothko, the bass guitar trio are dead. After five years together, the threesome felt they had taken their music as far as they could and decided (amicably) it was time to draw an end to that particular chapter. Long live Rothko. The trio may be gone but Rothko aren't. Founder-member, Mark Beazley, decided to call upon the members of Delicate AWOL to help form the new look band. This is not only their first album together but also their first album on their new home, Too Pure. The inspiration for the album comes from the time Mark spent in Switzerland last year, 'the whole album reminds me of being somewhere else, which was my intention. To create a different space, of being elsewhere, travelling and discovering things along the way.' The title of the album signifies humanity's (and Mark's) endless fascination and search about where we come from, and where we're going (either philosophically, spiritually, personally or anthropologically). 'With advanced DNA testing techniques,we can even discover who our ancestors may have been, where our gene pool originated. All of this I am fascinated in.'" Features 2 exclusive tracks not found on the LP version.

"The band Rothko have built up quite a name for themselves both in their home country of England and abroad. Anyone who's seen them live knows what a colossal sound they're capable of, equaled only perhaps by Godspeed, Mogwai, or Sonic Youth at their finest moments. With three basses, the group improvises melodies, effects, wall of sound tones, all tied together by great musicianship and a collaborative feeling for when not to play. Space is a crucial part of this music. Not Gone. Not Forgotten. takes in live recordings from the last 4 years, including their very first show ever at the Hope & Anchor in London, right up to June of 2001. With eight of the tracks previously unreleased, some of them only ever played once, this album is the only document of how Rothko sound as a live 3-bass phenomenon."
