Ashram - 2005 - Shining Silver Skies

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Modern Classical/Darkwave 

Country: Italy

Label:  Equilibrium Music 

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 56 mb 

MySpace

About Release:

Gifted with a musical sensibility that remains unparalleled, Ashram have conquered a discreet yet faithful fanbase around their delicate music and memorable live performances. The Neo-Classical style that acts as a foundation to Ashram’s music is usually built upon the moods of pianist Luigi Rubino, who sets a black and white cinematographic mannerism to the songs, hereby uplifted by violinist Edo Notarloberti’s arrangements, a performer well-known from various previous collaborations with other Napolitan projects, and whose soaring violin phrases confer a moving brilliance and distinct character to the project. Sergio Panarella, the group’s singer endowed with a beautiful crooning voice, adds the lighter tones to Ashram’s creations, by contributing also with a couple of acoustic guitar-based mellower Folk ballads now and again. Five years after their debut, the Italian ensemble finally completes their second album, "Shining Silver Skies", a work which unfolds itself as an exercise in musical bliss and purity, drenched in sweet nostalgia that flickers through memories of aching loss or rapturous passion. The trio is also assisted by guest cellist Leonardo Massa on these recordings, whose contribution brings a discreet additional depth to "Shining Silver Skies", an album which not only embodies the romantic backdrop of early 1900’s glamour but that also flirts with a slightly naďve Folk spirit occasionally.     ENJOY!!!

About Release:

Ethereal compositions conductive to quiet contemplation and so emotional that the best of Raison d Être. - (ELEGY Magazine - Fr) Side-project of Hylgaryss (Dark Sanctuary - Fr), Caithness aims, though a selected and mechanical development, an ambient diagram and religious marked. Caithness installs a monastic climate, dreamlike coupled to some intrispective blackness and exposing a decorum of reclusion. Amalgams of bells, songs of monks and ambient tablecloths. A post-apocalyptic detailed sound cinema. This dark-ambient is the sound of an alternative remaining to find between vacuum and belief. – (D-SIDE Magazine – Fr)

About Release:

Screaming vocals, harsh analogue filter sweeps, pulsing distorted sines and squares... Folkstorm has never sounded this angry and mean. Maybe it is a reflection of the current state of things - regression, massunemployment and a corrupt financial system about to implode. Ortodox is a return to the fine tradition of making music all analogue - no computers, no sequencers or modern trickery. A pure celebration of classic Swedish Industrial music, and a protector of values that are about to be lost. RETROGRESSIVE FOREVER !

The brand new album from the Italian Medieval Martial Neo-classical project. Greatly invoked by romantism as well as martial spirit, being more epic sounding music-wise with a great mix of more medieval melody.Not quiet exactly what I was expecting from a Martial Industrial album... I thought it's gonna be a bleak... gloomy... dark journey... of course, it has blackened moments, but there are also... some lighter parts, very well incorporated in the whole concept, I'd even say beautiful...

Atomine Elektrine - 2004 - Binomial Fusion

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Dark Ambient/Industrial/Experimental 

Country: Sweden 

Label: Essence Music 

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 216 mb 

About Release:

Pure nordic genius, Peter Andersson is the talented man behind Raison D'être and a number of brilliant musical projects like Stratvm Terror and Necrophorous, each one with a very impressive and distinctive sound. Experimenting with ATOMINE ELEKTRINE since the early 90's, the main influences to create this project came from the old krautrock school in its more cosmic and electronic side represented by artists like Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk and even Neu!. However, incorporating ideas coming from various other sources, like the orchestral Cold Meat-ish trademark of the time and the sacral beauty of Raison D'être, ATOMINE ELEKTRINE came out as a peculiar mutation of the kraut heroes; more rhythmic and a bit less experimental and far-out than expected. A new form of life. Labelled as 'new-age-sacro-trance' at the time, "Elemental Severance" actually shows a wide spectrum of electronic styles resulting in a hybrid, yet cohesive masterwork. From trancey rhythms and dreamy, sacral ambiences to occasional male/female choirs, melancholic melodies and well inserted samples. As if the imaginary past and present could touch each other, everything is involved by a majestic, unique surreal atmosphere, producing gorgeous sounds that leaves you truly mesmerized. Included here are 5 bonus tracks taken from the same recording sessions. The overall aura of "Elemental Severance" is also present on "Atom Xtension", the disc 2 of the set. Recorded in two distinct periods of time, the first part has nearly the same succesful elements, albeit with a slightly more eclectic nature. Ambient beat driven soundscapes with layers of synth treatments fill the air on some tracks, while semi-dub, chill-out compositions take place towards the end of the disc. Both works were recovered and throughly remastered by Peter Andersson on the profile section], making BINOMIAL FUSION an unique document of this fantastic project. On his own words, "this material sounds now better than ever before"! 140 minutes of music, including 5 bonus tracks, housed in a gatefold digisleeve-like packaging plus mini-poster. Limited edition of 800 copies.

Seelenlicht - 2009 - Love and Murder

Label: Trutzburg Thule

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 87 mb

About Release:

After nearly two years, Butow Maler and Troy Southgate present 'Love and Murder, their new opus. Accompanied by psychedelic guitar riffs, this album is far more song-based than their debut album and Seelenlicht follows the neoclassical path with sophistication and dynamism. From the social abyss of humanity and bittersweet murder ballads, to dark rune-prayers and the absurdity and brutality of World War One upon the bloody fields of Flanders‚ 'Love and Murder' also devotes attention to Romantic literature by setting to music the poetry of Novalis and Percy Bysshe Shelley.Guests including Dev (While Angels Watch), Josef Klumb (Von Thronstahl)and Wulf Ingessunu (Woden's Folk) complete the apocalyptic cocktail of darkfolk and neoclassical.

Atrium Carceri - 2009 - Phrenitis

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Dark Ambient/Industrial/Experimental

Country: Sweden 

Label: Cold Meat Industry 

Format: MP3@VBR V2

Size: 90 mb 

MySpace

About Release:

'Phrenitis' takes the listener to a twisted place where the walls between worlds are razed. The ruinous cities of wars long past, where time itself is but a prisoner and the warlords roaming their purgatorial halls are free to destroy the very foundations of the natural order. 'Phrenitis' is the 6th album of Atrium Carceri and is yet another step of the ever increasing Atrium Carceri wake up call. Simon Heath shows himself and the world, yet again, that no man is ever truly the master of their art unless they strive to evolve with it. The soundscapes he has created bypass the conscious mind, taking the listener deep into his pristine nightmare. The evolution of sound is spot-on and sets Atrium Carceri apart from other lazy dark ambient acts by being a truly diverse piece, replete with details upon details to make the illusion complete, and haunting compositions to make the mind yearn.

'The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice' is not only vibrating on the surface of your skin. It is alive and breathing, a creature with a knife that cut deep wounds in your body while your soul shatters for air. It is a psychosomatic and transgressive disease opressed by a compulsive behaviour manifested in dualities - the one of your body and mind - and states of metamorphoses - mind becomes flesh become wounds become fluids become stains. Play it loud if you want to become the martyr. Play it low if you are the innocent victim. There are no levels in-between. Violent and intense, it is a hell of an ordeal. But withstand and you are promised bliss. 'The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice' is the new full-lenght studio album by raison d'être

Af Ursin - 2005 - Aura Legato

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Experimental/Ambient 

Country:  Belgium

Label: La Scie Dorée 

Format: MP3@VBR V1

Size: 57 mb 

Official/Preview

About Release:

Timo Van Luijk releases a new LP as Af Ursin, if I'm not mistaken his second or third. Van Luyck produces all the sounds himself on his records, which are finely woven together. He plays electronica to process sounds from a flute, voices, glass harmonium and on side two even, a drum-machine and bass guitar. Here, on this side, things are jumpy, perhaps even a bit krautrock like, which doesn't sound unlike old HNAS records. But for the most part this record (four lengthy pieces in total) contains wonderful extended drone music, that is alike some of the UK counterparts, but Af Ursin adds a much more musical dimension to it, through a much clearer use of instruments and a likewise much clearer production. Great stuff for those who like expand beyond the 'ordinary' drone music. (Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly)

Continuum - 2005 - Volume 1

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Minimal Ambient

Country:  Belgium / Great Britain

Label: Soleilmoon Recordings 

Format: MP3@CBR 320 Kbps

Size: 141 mb 

About Release:

Multi-talented and eclectic musician Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, Bass Communion, Blackfield) and internationally renowned experimental artist vidnaObmana have joined together to bring you Continuum: A multi-layered synonym for their collective ambition and vision, motivated by their immense passion for a wide-range of musical styles. In the coming years Continuum will produce a series of limited edition albums for Soleilmoon Recordings. Each CD will be presented in a beautiful oversized digipack with breathtaking design and artwork by Lasse Hoile. The first release, naturally titled “Volume 1”, encapsulates both artist's love for desolate, minimal music, and features three 20 minute pieces of richly melancholic textural music. It’s a CD that will be appreciated by fans of microscopic ambient music, and the start of a project that will unleash Continuum's willful vision of music that transcends the barriers of genre and style. Only 1000 copies have been manufactured. Before launching their Continuum project both artists had already released music with Soleilmoon. Steven Wilson worked collaboratively with Bryn Jones of Muslimgauze in a series of remixes of each other’s work, the result of which was an album and an EP, both simply titled “Bass Communion v. Muslimgauze”, issued shortly after Jones died in 1999. VidnaObmana likewise worked with other artists to produce music for Soleilmoon, first with Asmus Tietchens on “Motives for Recycling” in 1999 and more recently with Frans de Waard (Beequeen, Goem, Shifts) and Tietchens on “The Shifts Recyclings” in 2002. Both albums used material from previously released recordings as a source or starting point, hence the “Recycling” in the titles.
