ALIO DIE - 'Under An Holy Ritual' LP (Small Voices)
Alio Die's magnum opus on vinyl for the first time. Released on his own label Hic Sunt Leones (1992) and re-released by Projekt (1993), this is a milestone of ritual ambient music. Ghostly incantations from the void, subtly changing frequencies and moods. Dream-inducing atmospheres and introspective drones. Stefano Musso has managed to resurrect unsettling sounds from a pre-Middle Ages epoch and merge them into a pastiche of gripping, evocative pastures for the discerning Ambient fan. Limited to 600 copies.
ALL MY FAITH LOST - 'In A Sea, In A Lake, In A River... Or In A Teardrop' CD (Infinite Fog Productions)
Reissue of the second album from Italians All My Faith Lost (with the original lineup of 4), originally issued on Sin.Org. This album focuses on the spirits of the water, with stories and tales that tell about faeries, witches, elves and everything else living in the water. Water that can be rain, the water of a river or of a lake but can be also a tear. Acoustic and classic guitars are the main instruments at the base of the compositions, flutes and delicate synths create, light arrangements giving that ethereal mood that would be more present in the following releases of the band (on Cold Meat Industry / Projekt). The vocal parts are equally divided amongst male and female, creating a perfect balance between heavenly/frail and profound/dark atmospheres. Ltd x 1000 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.

ARCANA - 'Raspail' CD (Kalinkaland)
Arcana's approach to Neoclassical and symphonic ethno-ambient could well be defined in the meaning of the word "Arcana" itself: specialised knowledge of something generally considered a mystery or a secret. On their 6th album, "Raspail", the moving music of this Swedish quintet creates a magical atmosphere which weaves together lush elements familiar to Arcana fans old and new. Mystery, silence and revealed secrets are interconnected within the 10 new songs. Lush electronics mix with acoustic guitar, serene piano and intricate oriental percussions. Warm vocals return to the focus, with obvious comparisons to Dead Can Dance: a heavenly blend of baritone and soprano courtesy of Peter Bjärgö and Ann-Mari Thim. In fact, never before has an Arcana album contained so many vocals giving "Raspail" an emotional touch, a deeper thoughtfulness, a profound feeling of mysterious vision and a sense of secrets.
Khvarena is a journey across time and countries, into the ethno-ambient / heavenly voices realm from which spirits will arise. A striking encounter between Italian maestro Francesco Banchini (Ataraxia / Gor) and France's Jeanne & Fabrice Lefebvre (Rajna). The first steps of a journey from the European continent to the countries of the Middle East: lush and majestic at times, ritual and devotional at others, and sometimes festive and cathartic. A myriad of ethnic instruments accompany the intertwined vocals of Jeanne and Francescot. This is music of brightness, color and emotion with rapturous Arabic overtones. This 1st edition is released in a hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies presented in a recycled DVD Digipak.
The new offering from the apocalyptic war machine rumbles into view - Kult Evil Dark Ritualistic Industrial projekt Melek-Tha continue their descent into and deep fascination with Satanic imagery, war, death and overall human damnation. Omnipresent opression and despair permeate every aural second expressed through music somewhere between apocalyptic orchestral and dark ambient sonics. This is supreme symphonic Occult Black Industrial at its very best. Six tracks of sonic pain and dense, obscure glimmers from the abyss.

MORTIIS - 'Anden Som Gjorde Oppror' CD (Projekt)
2007 reissue of the Mortiis classic Ånden Som Gjorde Opprør', originally released on Cold Meat Industry in 1995. As a member of Emperor, Mortiis was one of the notorious members of the fanatic Norwegian Black-metal scene. Through a natural evolution, Mortiis made his way into the Scandinavian dark-electronic scene. These lengthy pieces present a regal yet ancient mood; as if the soundtrack for ancient castles filled with forlorn kings looking out upon their lost kingdoms. Words are spoken in Norwegian, drifting into the background ambience. Mortiis at his very best, crafting dark synth-orchestral journeys into an enchanted world of medieval fantasy. Digipak with new artwork.

STEVE ROACH - 'Immersion: One' CD (Projekt)
The first in an ongoing series of long form, steady state "zones" created specifically as tone meditations for the living space. Gently immersive and especially effective at low volume, the non-dynamic nature of this space can support sleeping as well as creative states, reading and other functions where "music" is considered invasive. Purposely untitled, minimal in nature and sonically uninterrupted for 74 minutes, this "tone zone" series brings Steve's years as a sound painter of deep subtlety to a point where the "brush" has only a few bristles and nothing more is needed.

VIDNA OBMANA - 'The River Of Appearance (10th Anniversary Edition)' 2 x CD (Projekt)
Projekt re-releases vidnaObmana's classic "The River of Appearance" with a bonus disc, the entire album performed by Oregon's Dreams in Exile. River was a high point of Obmana's early compositional style, presenting a minimal and serene flow utilizing sparse piano lines which intermingle with drifting keyboard loops and organic rainstick sounds. There is an overall harmonic unity on these 8 pieces, stripping dense walls back to reveal a slowly changing sound configuration. The 2nd disc is not merely bonus tracks, but a complete re-creation of the original on traditional instruments. Re-experience the everlasting melancholy of the River of Appearance on this exceptional 10th anniversary 2-cd release.
