Title: Improvisations
Format: LP
Label: Fantôme Phonographique

Price: $24.00
"Fantôme Phonographique present a reissue of G.I. Gurdjieffs Improvisations. G.I. Gurdjieff was an Armenian and Greek philosopher, spiritual teacher, and musician, whose teachings of The Fourth Way influenced thousands worldwide and created communities that still exist to this day. His goal was to teach humans to reach a higher consciousness out of the "waking sleep" he considered most to be living in. Music was an important part of his teachings and these brilliant harmonium improvisations were recorded in 1949 in Paris, just a short time before his death. Droning and ethereal, these beautiful pieces mark a pinnacle in the work of a legend of human spirituality. Comes in a heavy sleeve with a hand-numbered sticker." - Fantôme Phonographique.

TWELVE THOUSAND DAYS, “Insect Silence” CD (FM24). Una produzione della quale Final Muzik è particolarmente orgogliosa, il quarto album dei Twelve Thousand Days, il duo neofolk formato da Alan Trench (Orchis, Howling Larsons, Temple Music) e Martyn Bates (Eyeless In Gaza, collaboratore di Mick Harris e Anne Clark) ha ricevuto recensioni entusiastiche sia in Italia, dove è stato, tra l’altro, uno dei dischi del mese di “Blow Up” (n. 244, settembre 2018) sia all’estero. Di seguito, alcuni estratti:


“[…] un atto di irridente atemporalità, potentemente nostalgico nella sua sottesa evocazione di avite verità.” Paolo Bertoni su “Blow Up” n. 244, settembre 2018


“Cosmogonie sonore che profumano d’infinito.” Aldo Chimenti su “Rockerilla” n. 457, settembre 2018


“Alan and Martyn have added another mystical piece to their growing discography together. It is, without a doubt, a progression in their sound that not only thrills in the moment but gives strength to the prospects for the future as their work hopefully continues.” Michael Mitchell su “Stereo Embers”, 31 agosto 2018


“Ambient, electronics, psych guitar, whistles, location recordings are all here embellishing the tracks making it intricate and complex. At the heart of it is an open-ended folk sound reflected in Bates' beautiful, distinctive voice which illuminates the timeless themes. […] Insect Silence is a journey, a pathway laid down just waiting for us to follow.” “Compulsion Online”, 27 settembre 2018


Edizione limitata di 500 copie, CD in confezione Digipak. € 14.00 + spese postali oppure in formato album digitale su Bandcamp al link: finalmuzik.bandcamp.com/album/twelve-thousand-days-insect...

A Merry Yule Tide to you and yours!

Another cycle passing through the dark aperture: surely something new awaiting on the other side....

...Fortune, sometimes lending an ear to prayers, sometimes seeming rather fickle, standing like a picture of someone staring off into the distance pretending not to notice we are looking at her.

The darkest days, a natural time perhaps to put affairs in order—finish what can be finished so as not to have such bulky luggage to carry on through...

Here are a few things I wanted to pass on to you before the transition:

MILA MAR - Nova LP

Fascinating, bewitching, expressive, magical, beautiful!

In 1999 MILA MAR released a true ethno / world music pearl with the album "Nova". Hypnotic ambient sounds, combined with the dreamlike vocals of Anke Hachfeld (whose voice includes four octaves), let the listener dive deep into an acoustic dream world. "Nova" is a musical window to an unbelievably beautiful world full of peace and love, it allows an intoxicating view into paradise.

Limited to 500 coloured 12" vinyl LPs in gatefold cover incl. liner notes. We have not limited ourselves to a single colour, each (!!!) record looks different, all colours and even marbling are possible.

Released today, Beth Gibbons and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra's 'Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs)' conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki is available now globally.

NODDING GOD - Play Wooden Child CD €16,00 (HOUSE OF MITHOLOGY)
Available late in May / June 2019
Nodding God is the latest project by David Tibet (Current 93…) and Andrew Lilles (Nurse with Wound…).
Their latest effort ‘Play Wooden Child’ is an album powered by Stars and Cuneiform and Pop, based on planetary correspondences—spirits, intelligences, demons, metals, and numbers, and with lyrics utterly sung in Akkadian

ROME - Le Ceneri di Heliodoro CD €16,50 (TRISOL)
Available late in March / April
ROME – a city under siege.
A city in flames.
It remains impossible for the beholder to discern the parties at war, but it is obvious that the whole continent is in uproar.
On ’Le Ceneri Di Heliodoro’ (’The ashes of Heliodoro’), ROME’s mastermind Jerome Reuter does not shy away from the provocative and ambiguous and thus tackles new terrain and touchy subject matters such as Europe’s dissolving unity, or its relations to the US and the fragile fraternity of its nations.
The questions of continuity and identity have marked this decade of decline and have left an undeniable impression on Reuter’s work.
But what will come of this mysterious Heliodoro – prophet or demon, saviour or slayer?
Reuter leaves these – as most other questions – unanswered in this neofolk tour de force.
This 13th album, indeed, marks a return to the martial folk origins of the project and it is a grim and bleak picture Reuter is painting in these poignant folk songs.
We are left with having but one choice: to try and find the necessary strength within ourselves, if we are to survive this turmoil.
Thus, inevitably, the album is also an homage to ROME’s unique brand of outsiderdom.
We are left breathless. The city is alight in flames, delighting our eye in the beauty of its ruin.
Uropia O Morte!

In Gowan Ring just added Hazel Steps through a Weathered Home, CD reissue 2018 (Remastered) to Bandcamp, check it out here.

Happy Resurrection Moon, Earth Day and Egg shaped Rebirth!

It's a GREAT time for DANCING , even if Martin Luther is frowning on you from the grave, or if it happens to be illegal in the country you are residing in (like the one I'm in now! ---hint: I'm still in "the western world"! check it out! : TANZVERBOT )

I only came to know about this yesterday and had one of the better laughs I've had in a while! (laughter IS quasi tolerated somehow...)

It's ok: let the grumpies grump, but don't let them get you down!
It's 'Hazel Steps' spinning over at Psychedelic Baby Magazine!
We've still got 'Hazel Steps' Vinyl available at the BandCamp webshop: ingowanring.bandcamp.com/album/hazel-steps-through-a-weathe...

see also our interview from some time back at Psychedelic Baby: www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2013/03/in-gowan-ring-interv...

For Earth Day it seemed somehow important for me to make this bleak lyric video for a song I recorded a very long time ago. You can watch it on the links below.

I hope today that you will get to be outside for a while somewhere that is beautiful and alive!
'The Wind of Change'
(music: Jaquine Rodrigo; words: Rod McKuen; Rendition: B'ee).

"Quietly... like the breeze that blows the olive tree the wind of change has come down from the hills to lead me home again through the last mile of sunshine."

Il neofolk visse il suo splendore nei primi anni 2000, cercando di rinnovarsi poi con il military poo e la musica martial industrial, anche se oramai da una decina di anni sembra aver esaurito la sua forza propulsiva.
Dai primi immaginari guerreschi della WWII si è passati all'iconografia della WWI, dell'antica Roma e altre caste guerriere, di altre guerre ed episodi di tutti i tipi.

Perché quindi questo:
ribessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/addosso

non potrebbe accostarsi idealmente visto le tematiche guerresche e i suoni prevalentemente acustici?
Non è assolutamente una compilation neofolk, ma certi pezzi sono applausi.

Ascoltateli e non vi pentirete.
Io ho già preso la verisone fisica, e merita totalmente
