| ATARAXIA
- 'La Malediction d'Ondine’ CD (Twilight
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Reissue
of the excellent album from Italian medieval act Ataraxia.
'La
Malediction d'Ondine'
(originally released by Energeia in 1995), takes its
inspiration from Greek mythology. The Ondine were
water nymphs, both women and Goddesses, who would
drown their victims in the whirlpool of their pain
and death. The Ondine could love passionately, just
like women, with all the sublime burden of their primordial
instinct. 'La malédiction d' Ondine' is also
the curse known as sleep apnoea - if the dreamer doesn't
wake in time, they will awake somewhere else, anchored
to the seaweeds braids of a deep sea or stranded on
a beach... Presented
with new artwork in a nice digipak.

Control CD, which continues to see a positive evolution
in this American act's sound. "Strong, shuddering

streaming forth in a sickeningly wet fashion. Much more
structure going on here than the past, but twice the
unbridled power. Excellent..." [Malignant]. Limited
