    Peter Ulrich ‎– Pathways And Dawns
    Label: Infinite Fog Productions ‎– IF-103LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 2020
    Style: Folk Rock, Ethereal, Folk

    Tthe first vinyl
    edition of Peter Ulrich’s debut solo album “Pathways And Dawns”.
    Widely known for his past work as drummer/percussionist with legendary Dead Can Dance and contributor to 4AD’s This Mortal Coil, Ulrich emerges here as a writer of hauntingly beautiful melodies
    and deeply poetic lyrics. “Pathways And Dawns” is packed with driving rhythms and meditative ritual patterns of percussion. With some inspired guitar-work, arrangement, and production from DCD mastermind Brendan Perry, the result is a pure delight…

    The album was recorded in two parts, the first in England in 1990, and the second after a long time break in 1996-97, by Brendan Perry at DCD’s Quivvy Church studio in Ireland. The album was released on CD in 1999 on the US label Projekt and was dubbed by critics as «the album the Beatles might have made had the group signed with 4AD instead of Capitol» and «a wonderful collection of songs that, while in the 4AD school, shimmers with an inner lightness that makes it very different «.

    This absolute masterpiece of spiritual music, so badly wanted on vinyl for so long, is available now. Mastered from Original master takes by Martin Bowes (Attrition).

    Anne Clark – The Sitting Room

    Anne Clark – The Sitting Room
    Label: FD Administration – AC0017-V
    Format: Vinyl, LP, 45 RPM, Album, Reissue
    Country: Europe
    Released: 2021
    Style: Downtempo, Synth-pop

    Anne Charlotte Clark (born 14 May 1960) is an English poet, singer and songwriter. Her first album, The Sitting Room, was released in 1982, and she has released over a dozen albums since then.

    Her poetry work with experimental musicians occupies a region bounded roughly by electronic, dance (techno applies on occasion) and possibly avant-garde genres, with varying hard as well as romantic and orchestral styles.

    Clark is mainly a spoken word artist. Many of her lyrics deal critically with the imperfections of humanity, everyday life, and politics. Especially in her early works she created a gloomy, melancholy atmosphere bordering on weltschmerz. She has been considered one of the pioneers in the spoken-word music genre, as well as being acclaimed for her synth-pop and new wave music, especially across Europe.

    Arcana – Raspail (Vinyl, LP)

    febrero 4, 2024

    Arcana – Raspail (Vinyl, LP)
    Label: Cyclic Law – 160th Cycle
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: France
    Released: Apr 25, 2022
    Style: Modern Classical, Ambient

    Continuing with the vinyl re-issue of Arcana’s catalog, we proudly present for the first time on vinyl their 6th album «Raspail». Arcana’s approach to neo-classical and symphonic-ambient could well be defined in the meaning of the word “Arcana” itself: specialized knowledge of something generally considered a mystery or a secret. On their sixth album, Raspail, the powerfully moving music of this Swedish quintet creates an atmosphere which weaves together lush elements familiar to Arcana fans old and new. Mystery, silence and revealed secrets are interconnected within these 10 songs.

    Comparisons to Dead Can Dance have been made, but it must be said that Arcana’s approach picks up the tangent that DCD left behind and brings it to a new and fully realized place. Lush electronics mix with acoustic guitar, serene piano and intricate oriental percussions. Warm vocals return to the focus: a heavenly blend of baritone and soprano courtesy of Peter Bjärgö and Ann-Mari Thim. In fact, never before has an Arcana album contained so many vocals giving Raspail an emotional touch, a deeper thoughtfulness, a profound feeling of mysterious vision and a sense of secrets.

    Standard Edition of 300 copies on black vinyl. 3mm Sleeve, printed inner sleeve, Matt Lamination. 10 Tracks, Running Time 36:28
