    Apoptose – Zukunft


    Apoptose – Die Zukunft
    Label: Tesco Organisation ‎– TESCO 128, Tesco Organisation ‎– 128
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Germany
    Released:2018
    Style: Dark Ambient, Ambient, Downtempo, Synthwave, Modern Classical

    In the four years of production Apoptose selected a wide range of different singers for this album. Most outstanding is classical trained tenor Daniel Sans. He sings «What Power Art Thou» – a song that was composed by Henry Purcell in the late 17th century. Apoptose and Sans preserve the complex harmonic structure of the original translating it into a breathtaking five minute ride in apoptotic soundspheres. They succeed in conjuring up Purcell’s «cold genius» that had already fascinated legendary countertenor Klaus Nomi in the 1980s. Other voices on «Die Zukunft» include the gloomy spoken words of the advance single «Time-lapse City», the lost girl’s voice on the title track and two female singers on «Dornen». Consistent with the album title Apoptose does not look back, but is heading for novel territories within the dark ambient music genre

    George Fenton ‎– The Company Of Wolves (Vinyl, LP, Album)



    George Fenton ‎– The Company Of Wolves (Vinyl, LP, Album)
    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR299LP
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, 180g
    Country: UK
    Released: 2021
    Style: Modern Classical, Soundtrack

    Out of print for over 35 years, the official soundtrack to the cult 1984 film by Neil Jordan is finally available once again on vinyl format. The surreal and effective film – a true gem of British Gothic fantasy horror – has an equally atmospheric, breathtakingly beautiful, surreal and unsettling soundtrack, scored by George Fenton.

    The film itself, directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Breakfast On Pluto), and based on the screenplay by Angela Carter and Neil Jordan, is a modern allegorical adaptation of the classic Grimm fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, symbolising sexual awakening, duality and liberation. The stellar cast features Sarah Patterson, Angela Lansbury, Stephen Rea, David Warner, and Danielle Dax.

    «There is a sense of awe and enchanted wonder encaptured in its fairy tale sound, swooping with cascading violins and dark mysterious undercurrents that bubble below the surface… The score flows effortlessly between its light and dark moments. Most importantly, moments of beauty are not lost to the sense of suspense and drama. Indeed, light always needs its companion of shadow, as the film suggests in the sexual awakening of the pure untainted innocence that is Rosaleen. This score perfectly demonstrates the beauty of the juxtaposition between the sounds of youth and the temptation of desire» (L. Hammond)

    «The film largely takes place in the dream world so I made this the
    home base for the orchestra. To a large extent the scoring in this area
    is conventional, perhaps a little impressionistic and hopefully reflects
    a curious but endearing world. This left me free to invent sounds
    for the stories within the dream world. I wanted to use a mixture
    of electronics and ‘live’ instruments, and after some experimenting,
    arrived at a line-up of three bass flutes, Pan Pipes, violins, one, two
    or three solo double basses, percussion and Synclavier II synthesizer» (George Fenton, 1984)

    Oscar-nominated / Emmy & BAFTA-winning composer George Fenton has created stunning scores for major films and television such as: Gandhi, Dangerous Liaisons, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Frozen Planet and countless others over the last 40 years.

    Day Before Us ‎– Ode A La Nuit D’Ombre


    Day Before Us ‎– Ode A La Nuit D’Ombre
    Label: OPN ‎– OPNCD0035
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: France
    Released: 27 Mar 2019
    Style: Dark Ambient, Modern Classical, Neo-Romantic, Experimental

    /// SOLD OUT ///

    Day Before Us is an influential melodic dark ambient project currently active under a duet form and whose style borders graceful neoclassical tones, oneiric soothing textures and chilling soundscapes. A number of albums have been published on well-noted indie labels and the project occasionally gives life performances in a wide variety of contexts.

    In these new pieces Philippe Blache and Natalya Romashina are embarking in a musical journey of immediate expressive moods, oftenly mystical ,exalted, animated by a tragic and existential breath, touched by a seraphic sense of poetry and guided by poignant emotional stories. Lead singer Natalya Romashina provides achingly beautiful singing parts with poetical lyrics which favor the aesthetic of suggestion and a tremendous sense of musical fluidity. Those evocative, virtuosic lyrical components communicate with the invocatory, litanous and harmonious qualities of Philippe Blache’s instrumental compositions. « Ode à la nuit d’ombre » is an album of staggering beauty where all pieces come together organically.

    A masterpiece of monumental and bombastic Dark Romantic Metal

    With «Songs Of Moors And Misty Fields» (1997), Schwadorf perfected his dark Metal full of classical Romanticism and traditional folklore. The album relates back to the band’s debut «A Wintersunset …», but also delivers the blue-print for their later development into more tranquil folk sceneries.
