(2005) This outstanding collection of newer musical works of the Austrian artist Allerseelen is a co-production of Ahnstern and Allerseelen's own label Aorta. Contains a selection of the best Allerseelen songs, many of them for the first time on CD and some unreleased Industrial-Folk hymns. Allerseelen were supported on this release by members of O Paradis, Circe and Sturmpercht, which gives this album a very special touch. Presented in a luxurious 6-panel digipak.
DER ARBEITER - 'Reflejos Del Sol' CD (Divine Comedy)
(2004) Sensual and appealing music with a great sense of rhythm, coming from nowhere... danceable, minimal, dark and deep. A crossing between Allerseelen, the saddest feeling of Blood Axis and the most obscure and exciting part of a new military folk scene like Ô Paradis. Very emotional, rootsy and organic at times, Der Arbeiter is very influenced by ancestral energies. Limited to 1000 copies in a black and white digipak.

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.
FRANCISCO LOPEZ / STEVE RODEN - 'Le Chemin Du Paradis' CD (Fario)
(2002) The newest installment in Fario's split-CD series finds the two artists of environmental sound construction in fine form. One long track of building intensity from each, as well as a collaborative track between the two (a trademark of the Fario split series) makes this ideal introduction, or an essential addition for those in the know.

None of the artists need an introduction for fans of post-industrial / Neofolk music. Drinking To Better Days is a wonderful overview of the current scene and is a really exquisite piece!

Qualified as a “drone paradise” by Lasse Marhaug (Jazkamer), the result is a fine and coherent whole, full of extended textures, contrasted acoustic surfaces, subtle and strong. 70 minutes of authentic acoustic researches, with glitches, loops, noises, deep and glittering textures, subliminal frequencies and narrative inserts, punctured with sensible musical moments from: Charlemagne Palestine, Critikal, Daniel Menche, Eve And The Sickness, Idiosyncrasia, Janek Schaefer, Jazkamer, Keith Fullerton Whitman, KK Null, Rapoon, Sébastien Roux, Steffen Bashô-Junghans and Troum.
