DER BLAUE REITER - 'Le Paradise Funebre L'Envers Du Tristesse' CD (Caustic Records)
(2006) A side-project of Sathorys Elenorth (Narsilion, Ordo Funebris). Inspired by warlike ambience, where powerful percussion, solemn piano pieces, majestic martial and neoclassical passages are the protagonists of this work. More than an hour of melancholic music replete of feelings and deep pain. "Feel how the crying of a cold war, legacy of the past, stir itself in the tops of destruction of our last days, where the dreams are just a legend and the death is a dark reality." For fans of Predella Avant, Raison d'êtré, Les Joyaux De La Princesse etc. Presented in a 6-panel digifile.
This retrospective embraces their first 10 years of existence. Nostalgic cinematic atmospheres and a mixture of neoclassical, minimal ambient and orchestral music make them one of the most sought after artists in the genre. Twelve remastered tracks with some selected from their deleted tapes releases, showing their evolution, with reminiscence of earlier Dead Can Dance releases, In The Nursery, or Les Joyaux De La Princesse. "1988-1997" comes in a beautiful digipak with an extensive informative booklet. Very nice piece.
