S VREMENA NA VREME - 'S Vremena Na Vreme' LP (Atlantide)
A forgotten masterpiece of south-European Prog Folk-music! The members of S Vremena Na Vreme were the founders and leaders of the Belgrade acoustic scene. These talented guys were the cornerstone for other groups like Pop Masina, Dag, Porodicna Manufaktura Crnog Hleba and others in the early 70s. The quartet rose out of nowhere with this debut studio album (1975), full of beauty and originallity. They were not only talented players, but also fantastic composers. By using the prim and the sargija (small guitars from the Balkan area) they developed a very specificsound. S Vremena Na Vreme was not a just group whose musicians only knew how to show off on their instruments, but are also hugely accessible and appealing! If you like the Strawbs’ first album, this album will give you as much pleasure. Stunning gatefold LP, limited to just 333 copies.

SALLY DOHERTY & THE SUMACS - 'Black Is The Colour' CD (Tiger Records)
2008 re-issue of this beautiful album, on Sally Doherty's own label. Performing some of the greatest songs of the Folk tradition and giving them totally unique and challenging new interpretations, Sally Doherty (ex-Sieben) has produced a notable album that has obvious Folk elements but also has experimental aspects too. In this, her fifth album, she explores songs from Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain and Mexico as well as a couple of her own that fit beautifully with the traditional classics. Rich atmospheric moods with early French medieval styles mixing with tracks of haunting simplicity and others of lush, dark orchestration. This digitally-remastered album comes with a bonus track and is limited to 500 copies.
SALLY DOHERTY & THE SUMACS - 'Edge Of Spring: A Collection Of Songs (1995 - 2005)' CD (Shayo)
"The Edge of Spring" is a collection of 17 songs by Sally Doherty - a "best of" spanning the years 1995 - 2005, with 3 previously unreleased tracks. Doherty is a Sheffield-based artist, who has worked in the past with dark folk acts Sieben and Sol Invictus, amongst others. With her warm, angelic and intimate voice, soaring and operatic at times, and accompanied by a variety of instruments from gentle piano to baroque string ensembles to Spanish guitar and percussion, Sally Doherty is one of the most outstanding singer / songwriters and will appeal to anybody who enjoys the music of Kate Bush, Lhasa or Antony and the Johnsons. The CD comes in a deluxe digipak. Swiss import.
Like Sanctum's previous work ("New York City Bluster", 2000), it's still about contrasts, but with stripped down sounds, less bombastic, rougher and more powerful. Still a pleasurable experience, for sure not easy to digest - more hard reality instead of baroque feasts. Founded by Jan Carleklev and HÃ¥kan Paulsson in 1994, the invited the singer Sara-Lo av Ekstam to join them for this album. Ltd x 2000 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

SCOTT HULL - 'Audiofilm 1' 3" CD (Crucial Blast)
Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed) has been gradually revealing another side of his musical persona over the past few years; an obsession with cinematic soundscaping and dark evocative film scores, mutant electronic textures and pitch-black isolationism. This first part of the Audiofilm Series is a terrifying fug of demonic drone that utilises stereo panning and slabs of obsidian ambience, slowly unfolding over the length of the piece to reveal layers of malevolent black drone and unsettling voices, seemingly lost between planes of shadow.

SEELENLICHT - 'Gods & Devils' CD (Cold Spring CSR86CD)
This stunning debut release from a project of Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Butow Maler (Kammer Sieben) contains 14 darkly satirical compositions that strip bare the mechanism of human nature and the madness of the contemporary world. Comprised of Gothic murder ballads, electronic, folk and neoclassical elements, this album is brimming with originality, enthusiasm and creativity. Guests: Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben), Maria Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Eustacia Vye (Horologium). Digipak with booklet.
Second full-length album from the two former Dies Natalis protagonists, Norbert Strahl and Alex Meier. "Wege" is a classical Neofolk album in best tradition. Some songs mirror a sad, sometimes even gloomy picture of the world inside and outside of ourselves, other songs are just filigree Folk-ballads, as beautiful and dreamy as one could imagine. Nevertheless all nine songs always stand strong and powerful, showing a path to the listener, never to turn back and never to lose his courage. Martial rhythms drum stirringly to neoclassical compositions, united with impassionate piano and guitar playing and electronic sounds. The challenging lyrics on "Wege" deal with the stages in one's life, our path through time and the questions for the meaning and the purpose of life. Digipak with booklet.
"III" is a 3-way split album by the German Neofolk bands Seelenthron, Traum'er Leben and Trinithos. On this album each band interprets their favourite songs by the other 2 acts - and also includes one own new song by each artist. The finale of "III" is a bonus track by Alexander Meier (Seelenthron) - a fantastic, neoclassical cover version of the Soulsearch / Sturmpercht song 'Traumkampf'. Presented in a very nice digipak.
SEHT & STELZER - 'Exactly What You Lost' CD (Intransitive Recordings)
This first album of cross-hemisphere hum by Seht (Stephen Clover) and Howard Stelzer, emerged organically via tapes shared through the post between New Zealand and Boston over the course of a year or so. Without any agenda, the music willed itself into a darkly psychedelic, implacably melancholy haze. A quick scramble of caffeinated tape action kicks things off, then the album rapidly dissipates into a thick, black sleep of environmental debris and humid fog. Worn loops were played into various outdoor acoustic environments and then fed back into low-tech machines for further harmonic decay. Great stuff!

New Zealander Campbell Kneale once explained that to describe Wellington's Seht as drone music is much the same as describing Antarctica as white.
