ARTEFACTUM - 'Foxgloves & Bluebells' CD (Old Europa Cafe / Ur Muzik)
As one of the very few representatives of what might be labelled as feminine ambient music, Artefactum remains the embodiment of unique characteristics: deep and warm ambient intertwined with sounds of nature, ritual bells, remote drumming and sensual vocals. While still within the borders of ambient, this release also contains a collection of beautiful songs inspired by old poetry and mysterious folklore. With wonderful guest appearances from neo-medieval The Soil Bleeds Black, British folk singer Andrew King and neoclassical Dawn & Dusk Entwined, “Foxgloves & Bluebells” is a must-have release for anyone into esoteric post-industrial music. 6-panel digipak.
