More about 'New Wilderness Gospel'

MESH - The Point At Which It Falls Apart · 2CD HARDCOVER ARTBOOK
€33.90*
Hardcover book (48 pages, approx. 18x18cm) with 2 CDs, original album (remastered 2024), and an 11-track bonus CD featuring remixes and rare B-sides, includes liner notes by Mark Wybrew (Electronic Cafe) & Jan Winterfeld (Pluswelt).
More about 'The Point At Which It Falls Apart'
With their second album released in 1999, "The Point at Which It Falls Apart," Mesh achieved a breakthrough—both critically and artistically as well as commercially. In its 25th anniversary year, Mesh is re-releasing this long out-of-print milestone in an exclusive artbook edition packed with bonus material. The British dark synthpop band was founded in 1991 when singer and guitarist Mark Hockings and keyboardist and singer Richard Silverthorn discovered musical commonalities at a concert that led to the formation of Mesh. This artistic partnership has since defined the legacy of Mesh. The creative synergy of Mesh has always stemmed from a strong complementary division of roles: Richard Silverthorn composes the music, while Mark Hockings writes stirring and profound lyrics that infuse emotional depth into the soundscapes.
Mesh's musical journey began with the release of the "Fragile" EP in 1994 and their debut album "In This Place Forever" in 1996. Their major release "Who Watches Over Me" in 2002 propelled Mesh back into the spotlight, marking another peak in their illustrious career. A wave of popularity across Europe, especially in Germany, elevated the British band on festival lineups. "Automation Baby" (2013) reached number 33 on the German album charts and dominated alternative charts across Europe. With "Looking Skyward" (2016), Mesh climbed even higher to reach number 12 on the German charts. Currently, Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn are working on the next Mesh studio album. To bridge the gap for their long-time but also newer fans, the duo is making their long-out-of-stock and highly sought-after second album "The Point at Which It Falls Apart" available again in a carefully remastered version.

NACHTMYSTIUM - Blight Privilege · CD HARDCOVER ARTBOOK
€27.90*
CD book edition (hardcover, 18x18cm, 60 pages) with lyrics, photos, extended images, and bonus track, limited to 600 copies.
More about 'Blight Privilege'
NACHTMYSTIUM are back! And after all that was said and done, mastermind Blake Judd is still standing. Not only that, but Judd has also clawed himself back from the abyss of a most extreme life imaginable to a much more quiet, observant, and matured artist and person. His return will not be met with universal applause – even from the black metal scene. For anybody following the tumultuous career of Blake Judd and his pioneering band that has pushed the borders of their genre into new territories, this comes hardly as a surprise. With their ninth studio album "Blight Privilege", NACHTMYSTIUM are once again presenting a masterpiece that can even compete with the trilogy of albums that many view as the peak of the earlier career of the American black metal (USBM) trailblazers: "Instinct: Decay" (2006), "Assassins: Black Meddle Pt. I" (2008), and "Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II" (2010). Like an infernal sniper, every song on "Blight Privilege" hits straight on target. All the darkest elements, required and longed for, are there: harsh, rasping vocals, the fierce hum and whirr of guitars burning with an ice cold fire, moments of ecstatic and exalted beauty in hellish soundscapes. Yet there are also those fine details that the musically well-versed Judd has always cunningly hidden in the general sonic onslaught such as post-punk and wave elements, and now even a knife-tip of outlaw country. "Blight Privilege" connects NACHTMYSTIUM to its glory-days – not as a nostalgic reminiscence but as a forward-looking continuation and next evolutionary step. If anything, this ninth album is marked by a maturity derived from experience and learning. Judd's often diabolically catchy tunes are sharper than ever and have lost none of their bite. This might be due to the fact that it is the first album of the USBM spearheads which Judd composed in a fully sober state. With "Blight Privilege", NACHTMYSTIUM demand the throne of USBM back. This album clearly has the musical force and lyrical daring to do give credit to this claim. Love it or hate it, NACHTMYSTIUM have set a tall milestone with "Blight Privilege"!

THOMAS VON WACHENFELDT - Den Vanfrejdade – Hultkläppens Låtar Och Leverne · BOOK SET 2CD COLLECTOR'S EDITION
€36.90*
2CD Deluxe Book Edition with 132-page Hardcover, 18x18 cm.
More about 'Den Vanfrejdade – Hultkläppens Låtar Och Leverne'
From the heartlands of Hälsingland emerges the haunting legacy of Hultkläppen, one of Sweden’s most enigmatic and masterful fiddlers. Thomas von Wachenfeldt, a classically trained violinist, composer, and renowned traditional Swedish musician, has ventured into the depths of history to resurrect timeless tunes. “Den Vanfrejdade – Hultkläppens låtar och leverne” is a biographical journey spanning the life and legacy of Hultkläppen (1834-1898). Comprising every known tune attributed to the legendary infamous fiddler, this double-CD album is the culmination of twenty years of meticulous research by Wachenfeldt, who is also a PhD researcher and an Associate Professor at Dalarna University and Uppsala University.
The album is accompanied by a 132-page book, offering an in-depth exploration of Hultkläppen’s life and music. Each track pulses with the spirit of the Nordic wilderness, capturing the essence of traditional Swedish folk fiddle music. From the mournful strains of “När Hultkläppen spelade hustrun till graven” to the jubilant refrains of “Hultkläppens brännvinspolska”, Wachenfeldt’s masterful interpretations breathe life into melodies passed down through generations. The music, steeped in the lore and landscape of Hälsingland, offers a passage through time, evoking the same woodland magic that inspired Hultkläppen himself.
