CLEAR WATER (BAISHUI) - 'Time' CD (Midnight Productions / Oro Prod)
(2008) This work is about the artist's hometown - a small town in the Chinese province of Sichuan... about the memorial arch, which has stood erect for hundreds of years... the bright moonlight on the small bridge over the flowing stream... the cherry blossoms and wild flowers... the elders with their soft voices and laughing faces. 40 minutes of simple and honourable township ballads and folksongs, which have been handed down for generations. An absolutely stunning release, presented in an 8-panel matt digipak with booklet, insert and dried flowers. Like a strange Chinese version of Sturmpercht? All text in Chinese. Ltd x 500.
JANNERWEIN - 'Abendlauten' CD (Heimatfolk / Steinklang)
(2008) Jännerwein is a brilliant new Folkband from the breathtaking Salzburg countryside around the holy mount Untersberg, the myserious home of Sturmpercht. They play their very own style; a mix of old school Folkmusic and Neofolk with some Martial rhythms, Alpine-Folk and even some medieval elements. Jännerwein use many traditional alpine instruments, but they also use some electronics, creating a warm and heimish atmosphere in all their songs. Jännerwein are solemn with their ancient, sad lyrics about holy (often christian) rituals and mysteries from the central european Alps. But the feeling you get from listening to their tunes is similar to the sad songs of the Perchten. For fans of Sturmpercht! Digipak.
