"The fate of all explanation is to close one door only to have another fly wide open". Charles Fort. "Fortean tales" takes this concept to a whole new level. The LP comes in a limited edition of 400 hand-numbered copies, in marbled brown/orange/green vinyl.
Only in the Darkness. Only in the Void. Only in the Silence. Only there MAATH can create and mold their ominous worlds of drones. Black & bleak ambiences resounding in places where all humanity is extinct.
The stronger the spiritual pain, the worse the physical damage. Suppurating plagues can be carved and cleansed: spiritual wounds are impossible to sterilize. Mental germs grow, mutate, infect, colonize and suppress the once healthy host. "Il giorno dei campanelli", CANAAN's eight album, is a diary of mental putrefaction. No antibiotic can work here: these 14 songs will leave no soul unharmed.
Soundtrack composed for a theatrical play of Sartre's "Le mosche" (The flies). Somewhere between ambient, Morricone's most visionary soundscapes and classical music, with some ROSA CRVX-like distorted guitars here and there to unsettle and scramble things up.

Features Gianni Pedretti (Colloquio) on "Non ritorna piu". Digisleeve + booklet.

20 years after its initial release, AMON's "El khela" still shines out like a pillar in the dark ambient field. Mysterious, catacombal, bleak, monumental, cryptic ambience.
A desperate, tragic, sick love story. Diary of a madman singing his songs of love and despair. Comes in a 3-folders digisleeve + 2 24-pages booklets with lyrics and full story.
Sergio Calzoni's talent in chiselling electronics like a master craftsman has already been made very clear in COLLOQUIO's albums. This time he flies alone, and what a flight this is.... ORGHANON's debut album offers a melancholy-filled trip through a congealed world where figures slowly drift in the thick air...
