Vidna Obmana – The Trilogy
Label: Zoharum – ZOHAR 159-2
Format: 3 CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Compilation, Limited Edition, Reissue
Country: Poland
Released: Mar 28, 2018
Style: Ambient
Vidna Obmana. The first recordings under this moniker appeared in the mid-1980s. Initially in his work he penetrated very rough industrial sounds, but at the beginning of the following decade he turned to ambient music with subtle ethnic undertones. His first albums, where he successfully explored this style and which also brought him wider notoriety, were ‘Passage in Beauty’ (1991), ‘Shadowing in Sorrow’ (1992) and ‘Ending Mirage’ (1993), composing a trilogy in both sonic and visual sense. A few years later, they were reissued in one package by the American label Relic.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the release of the last album from these three. This is a good opportunity to bring the entire trilogy to light again, as it is considered one of Dirk Serries’ outstanding achievements as Vidna Obmana. On top of that, all three albums, both in the form of a triple compilation and as single discs, have long been unavailable and reach quite high prices on auction sites. The discs received a new graphic design, their sound was also remastered by the artist himself. We can enjoy over three hours of these classic ambient sounds again.
The triple album is released in an 8-panel digipak and it is strictly limited to 400 pieces. The cover is designed by Maciej Mehring based on the photographs by Martina Verhoeven. Dirk Serries himself is responsible for the mastering. The whole production process was overseen by Michał Porwet.
The trilogy will be also available as a limited wooden box with an expanded content
Day Before Us – As My Spirit Wanders Free
Label: Gradual Hate Records – GH149
Format: CD, Album
Country: Spain
Released: Jun 22, 2021
Style: Dark Ambient, Darkwave, Drone, Neofolk, Ambient
Prominent act from the post-industrial/minimal electroacoustic scene «Day Before Us» is back with a new significant album, casting elegant solitary hymns and shedding an unconventional gothic inspired mood. The instrumentals and conceptual background are approached and elaborated by Philippe Blache while the sound lyricist Agne Srebaliute takes over the vocal parts. «As my spirit wanders free » is a meticulously blended release which gives a large space to contemplative tones, to poignant melodic phrases and to a thick cloud of emotional meandering textures.
The message behind the album explores existential themes such as soul stirring fragility, blurred-fractured memories and the mystical nature world. «As my spirit wanders free» is a vast, sensient and windy atmospheric opus that directly takes on the emotions of the listener. This album marks the 10 years anniversary of the project. This special edition is accompanied by the unique photographic work of Natalie Ina that matches the musical signature in terms of sheer emotional intensity and stylistic landmark.
Day Before Us is an emotional, ethereal and dark ambient music project formed in 2011 by the piano trained player and composer Philippe Blache. Full length releases have been published by Rage in Eden, Twilight Records, OPN and GH Records. A palette of immersive electronic textures, slowly moving melancholic piano airs, industrial noises, lyrical themes, neoclassical arrangements and discreet experimentations characterize the compositional process and the stylistic inclination. Creative strength of the project comes from reflections on timelessness, memories of a bygone era, romantic spleen and spiritual narratives. Day Before Us occasionally gives live performances and works in the context of intermedia collaborations.

«Embalming thy melodious tears» can be appreciated as an interlude in the history of «Day Before Us» (alias Philippe Blache). It consists of a collection of previously unreleased and rare pieces from «lost sessions» which covers a period between 2011 & 2020. The musical purpose is built on bewitching emotional tones, whispered poetry with sparse melodious themes of stoic and tragic beauty

The term Ophite derived from the Greek Ophis = Serpent.
«An initiate must transcend this inherently earth, and move beyond. Armed with formulae s/he next walks freely through the gates, the barrier is behind them. Between the trees of knowledge they cross the circles; the yellow and blue. A little further beyond the void, and through life, to be surrounded by love. Here is the culmination of the journey, a few more steps and they are in; at Home.»
