CD Probe Plus 1991
2xCD reissue Apocalyptic Vision 1994 with bonus tracks
Incredible. What can I say? It's Celtic, it's folky. It's experimental. It's tribal-percussive. It has beautiful child-like female vocals harmonized with male vocals. Spoken words. Madrigals. Gregorian chants. Insane distorted guitar. Samples of people speaking Russian, French and German. A very sophisticated CD of music that is certainly experimental, keeping in tradition with the principles of some of the early industrial artists. One of the most unique bands in the world. Influences include Dead Can Dance, and the films of Luis Buneal and Andrei Tarkovsky. (...) The music is dreamy. Very cool. More of the same from the first release, but better. Immaculate! More female vocals, some heavy industrial beats mixed in with flutes, acoustic guitar and samples. More samples of Russian, French, and German. A little shortwave radio thrown in for good measure, plus some guitar feedback. A spacey jazz tune on here, reminds me of Twin Peaks if it was set in the 60's on the French Riviera. Incredible chant piece on here, a prayer recorded live. A very elegant, very dark, yet very spiritual and majestic CD.
