Within The Depths Of Silence And Phormation

by Raison D'être

supported by

Saffron Robe Raison d'être, to my mind, is the crème de la crème of dark ambient along with Necrophorus (same artist) and Arktau Eos. This is one of Raison d'être's best. I particularly like the use of plainsong on this release. Favorite track: Euphrosyne.

about

First time on vinyl. Double vinyl re-issue of the third full-length album of raison d'être that was first released in 1995. “Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations” takes the listener deep below the world of the ordinary into the catacombs of the subconscious, the worlds lying within us so few ever live to explore. This is music meant to stimulate the mind, to inspire one in their explorations of self and solitude. Layers of ethereal atmospheres and the collage of choirs, strings, bells and occasional voices slowly bleed together to create music for society whose spirituality has been rendered impotent. Soaking in this world, one is left with the impression of overwhelming sadness and profound desolation. This is the sound of all hope nullified. In 2013 the original album was restored, re-recorded and re-mixed to attain a more modern standard of sound quality. Now this redux version has been put to vinyl, containing the track list of the original album with an added selection of five compilation tracks from the era. all carefully mastered according to the K-14 level standard for highest possible sound quality. Co-released with Old Europa Cafe.

Did Sergio Leone score a Western Set on a Post-Apocaltptic Mars? No. We at least have this. Rain beaten Gothic cathedrals half covered in sentient moss and carniverous seaweed casting long reflections over the still waters of Martian canals. Green Buddhist poet-monks chanting the Lotus Sutra and dissolving into Nirvana. This is sad and gorgeous music. Leo Leo Rivers

Another fantastic Cryo Chamber Collaboration; nearly 2hrs of Dark Ambient music just the way I like it, with menace, foreboding, and apprehension, to the fore. pf22
