AMBER ASYLUM - 'Bitter River' CD (Profound Lore Records)
Reflecting back towards the earlier era of the act in which mastermind Kris Force manifested, 'Bitter River' is an unearthing of the magic of such classic Amber Asylum observations as 'Natural Philosophy Of Love' and 'Songs Of Sex & Death', updating the immaculate vibe with Amber Asylum's current carnation. Now featuring co-writer Leila Abdul-Rauf (Saros), along with cello player Jackie Perez-Gratz (Giant Squid, Grayceon, Asunder), dominating low-end frequencies courtesy of bass player Eric Wood (Bastard Noise), flute player Sigrid Sheie (Hammers Of Misfortune), drummer Chiyo Nukaga (Graves At Sea, Noothgrush) and also featuring a guest narration by Jarboe (ex-Swans), it is through each member's respective lent talent that brings forth the illustrious presence emanating from 'Bitter River'.

IGNIS FATUUS - 'In Our Mad Bliss' CD (Eibon Records)
Back in 1998, Ignis Fatuus released one of the most impressive debut albums ever - "The Futility Goddess" (Cold Spring). Their astonishing mixture of neo-classical, ambient, wave (with amazing vocal contributions from SWANS singer Jarboe) gathered a load of positive feedbacks from everywhere. Now, Ignis Fatuus strike back with "In our mad bliss". Dark, warm, rich, gloomy music that transcends boundaries and defies definitions. Fairy-tinted musical scenarios, impressive female vocals, a sensual and seductive journey through a gently illuminated nocturnal world.
