    Desiderii Marginis ‎– Songs Over Ruins


    Desiderii Marginis ‎– Songs Over Ruins
    Label: Cyclic Law ‎– 89th Cycle
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered
    Country: Germany
    Released: 27 Jan 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient, Industrial

    ‘Desiderii Marginis have created the soundtrack to the post-apocalyptic world. Taking the approach of Ordo Equilibrio and Raison D’etre, there is melody and tension created purely by minimalist structure, catastrophic tranquility and powerfully present percussive tempo.
    This is ambient music in a haunting and uncomfortable setting, also using some familiar throbbing power electronic elements at times, to keep the diverse mix alive and unnerve the listener even more. The mixture of minimalism and diverse elements creates a fluid piece that leaves a somber reflection, exquisite in its terror and eerie passages.’

    The truth in dark corners – Chain DLK review

    «The Truth In Dark Corners» is a recording of live tracks coming from the band’s 1985 Holland tour plus a closing track coming from a London gig.
    Back then Attrition were releasing their second album «Smiling, At The Hypogonder Club» on Third Mind and this release contains many tracks coming from that one plus «Shrinkwrap» (which was a single) and two unreleased tracks «In The Attic» and «The Aftermath».
    Formed on those days by Martin Bowes, Marianne Teunissen and Alex Novak, the band was creating their distinctive darkwave electronic sound which was capable to mix danceable rhythms and electronic experimental attitude.
    «The Truth In Dark Corners» contains good recordings of classic Attrition’s tracks (or at least they are what I consider their classics) like «Mind Drop» or «Pendulum Turns» and here you can listen them sounding direct and powerful.
    These recordings represent quite well the essence of the band on those days so I don’t consider this album only a release for hard core fans. And sleeve notes you’ll find by Justin Mitchell back then. I’m quite sure that if you a long time reader of our magazine you know this guy, because when he knew Attrition he was an electronic music enthusiast who became their friend but soon after he founded Cold Spring Records.
