ELISABETHA - 'Über Das Prinzip Der Unschuld’ CD (Beverina) - £12 / £13 / £14
14th release of this Austrian act. "Is there a desire to live a life after you awoke? Do you wish to flee? Are you strong enough to be your dream? Are you ready to give up what you think is reality? Can you leave behind your faith and to focus the light of your eyes on perception. You must be willing to learn to live again and to bear the pain of thousands of aeons. Pain will be a friend on your side. You will bring death to your loved ones and this will be the sin of your love." 80 minutes of Neoclassical, Martial and Ambient music with medieval elements. Limited to 500 copies in an elegant gold digipak. Very reminiscent of Von Thronstahl and Blood Axis in places.

NICK CASTRO & THE POISON TREE - 'Further From Grace’ CD (Strange Attractors Audio House)
- £13 / £14 / £15
"Further From Grace" bewitches with an intoxicating mood sustained throughout. The instrumentation is lush and exotic - flugelhorn, lap dulcimer and mijwiz are deftly melded into a pan-cultural elixir comprised of American and British folk traditions, classical balladry and Middle Eastern. Masterful songwriting, ornamented by Castro's ardent vocals and dreamlike lyrics, are relieved by hypnotic instrumental passages. Induced by flourishes of psychedelic 60's folk bards like Tom Rapp (Pearls Before Swine) and Bert Jansch, laced with flashes of Amon Düül-like acoustic communal atmosphere, "Further From Grace" is an acid-folk masterpiece advancing today's sound into sparkling new frontiers.

All Nick Castro Titles


NICK CASTRO & THE YOUNG ELDERS - 'Come Into Our House’ CD (Strange Attractors Audio
House
) - £13 / £14 / £15
Gracefully immersing 60's/70's UK acid balladry with Middle eastern traditional music and communal jams, Castro succeeds in reaching otherworldly vistas and ocean-spanning folk transcendence. The Young Elders is a truly stellar cast of musicians who played in folk and avantrock ensembles like Current 93 (Joolie Woods), In Gowan Ring (B'Eirth), Cul De Sac and Damo Suzuki's Network. A mixture of folk ballads, psychedelic folk rock, Middle eastern traditional music and Neofolk. The result being astonishing, challenging and utterly psychedelic. A modern Acid Folk masterpiece! Beautifully presented in a 6-panel digipak with gold print.

All Nick Castro Titles


ORDO ROSARIUS EQUILIBRIO - 'Four’ 10" Picture Disc (Rabbau) - £12 / £14 / £16
A year has passed since the release of “Apocalips”. As we anticipate another full length release from Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, in the spring of 2008, we welcome the unexpected release of 'Four'. This stunning full-colour picture disc presents four new fantastic songs that give us a very succulent appetiser of what the future tastes like. With tactile orchestral tapestries, acoustic guitars and drum machines perfectly combined with toms and timpani; and with Rose-Marie and Tomas actually singing, we are offered a new and very seductive side of ORE, something that was partially presented on “Apocalips”, but finally comes in full bloom.

- £13 / £14 / £15
'The Manifestation' was originally released in 2000 as a 1-sided 12".
