Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows

[Bugi]

progressive dark goticki bend, ili horror ambiental music...
sastoji se samo od jedne osobe, Anna-Varney Cantodea....
muzika je bogata instrumentima, zvona, trube, flaute, klaviri, gitara, banjo, bubnjevi, sve u dark gothik stilu...
muzika pristaje stilu filmova tima burtona...

ja ga smatram najboljim u svojoj vrsti muzike...
a i nema puno ljudi sto rade ovakvu glazbu...pa sam zato i zahvalan ljudima koji su mi ga otkrili...
eto da i podjelim sa vama, tko voli nek slusa..
evo cak i pjesme ako ce te direktno poslusati..a ostale potreazite na torrentima...
preporucavam album "Songs From The Inverted Womb (2000)"...

Obožavam ih imam svih 16 albuma i sve što je ikad napravio sve spotove baš sve meni najsavršenija glazba koja postoji
Nisam znao da je ovdje neko čuo za njih, presavršeno.

[Šaman Šandor]

Što se tiče žanra to ti je Darkwave s dosta elemenata folka ali to je općenito dosta širok žanr a i sopori su jedinstveni
Ova pjesma the conqueror worm ti je od E.A. Poe-a pjesma ima ih tak višpe njegovih što je uglazbio npe. alone
Fali mi samo sa "like a corpse standing in desperation" tri pjesme i to oni neobjavljeni demoi a to nema šanse nigdje naći
Ovaj novi les fleurs du mal mi se nesviđa previše mi je povuko na tu svoju transeksualnost u tom albumu a i nije mi glazbeno nekako ne leži mi

E da znam svirati na gitari flautu iz shadowsphere skoro cijelu jedino ima jedan teži dio di trebam na 23 polju svirat a to je tak zeznuto jer je prokleto malo polje i znam bas iz drugoga dijela te pjesme

[Bugi]

o pa vidi ti to..nisam ni ja ocekivao da ce itko znati...
da tocno, napravio je muziku za stihove edgar allan poe-a...
jos jednu odlicnu od e.a.poea zove se "The Sleeper"..11 predobrih minuti...
sve u svemu da koliko god je opsiran sa svojom glazbom toliko mu je i glazba prepoznatljiva...ima svoj ambient koji je uvijek tu na svakom albumu...
ja sam do dan danas ostao na samo jednom albumu("Songs From The Inverted Womb (2000)") i jos nekoliko singla uz to...
ostale albume znam poslusati i uvik otkrijem neku novu ludilo pjesmu..
ali se uvijek vratim na vec spomenuti album...

[Šaman Šandor]

Ja sam taj najviše slušo kad sam ih počeo slušati prije jedno dvije godine mal manje
a onda sam prešo na ove više što na folk vuku a sad slušam sve osim les fleurs du mal jer mi se taj ne sviđa
Jesi čuo njihovu obradu paranoida i "a national" acrobat od Black Sabbatha predobre su obje
I onaj njegov projekt Nenia C'alladhan mi je predobar to je s nekom ženskom ardio

[Bugi]

ah da, nenia calladhan, imam taj album...veselija glazba...svejedno je super..pogotovo pjesma "Sternblumennacht" od 11 minuti...
pjesme su cijele magicne... onako medival nekako...flaute, trube, i lute...
sve u svemu ugodna glazba, samo mi ovaj kristalni glas Niene ne ide uz njemacki jezik...
npr. da pjeva na Finskom, ili cak Svedskom, puno bi mi ugodnije i ljepse zvucalo...
al eto detalji detalji :P

al te prerade black sabbatha nisam cuo...bas ih idem pokusat pronaci... :)

[Šaman Šandor]

Tabor C'alan O'itana (My Womb is barren, but I can conceive) - To ti je a national acrobat

Diô N'arap (The unability within Time) - Paranoid

Ak nenajdeš reci pa ti ja uploadam

[Bugi]

ah da...pa to imam..album "Jekura - Deep The Eternal Forest"...
ovu sam slusao dok sam bio u vojsci :)
hehe..tocno se sjecam Tabor C'alan O'itana....
nisam znao da je prerada...
na tom albumu ima i ona cudna pjesma "Ecoterrorist"...jedan put me probudila kad mi se vrtilo na cd-u pjesme od Sopora...
uzas...nocna mora...

[Šaman Šandor]

Ecoterrotist je službeno najgora pjesma na svijetu bez pogovora ja nisam u životu tako nešto čuo neznam stvarno je glupava

[biafra]

imam ich tote mich jedesmal... i voyager, meni je odlican, cudna neka atmosfera

[Šaman Šandor]

After their brilliant album ╗Les Fleurs du Mal½ SOPOR AETERNUS &
THE ENSEMBLE OF SHADOWS are now returning to complete their
curious study with this equally emotional sister/release
╗SANATORIUM ALTROSA û Musical Therapy for spiritual
Dysfunction½. Let us carefully open the beautifully designed
pages of the strange brochure of this ╗SANATORIUM ALTROSA½ now,
and risk a brief look at the wonderful music we are being
offered here: First up we have an instrumental version of
╗Consider this: the true meaning of Love½, a rather powerful
neo-classical track with heavy, almost Germanic sounding
military drums and energetic strings sections, that finds its
resolution in the arrival of a funeral procession. This most
skillful introduction is followed by ╗Architecture II½, a track
somewhat reminiscent of early DEAD CAN DANCE (but with a lyrical
content way beyond what Brendan and Lisa ever dared to offer).
The old crow of ANNA-VARNEY CANTODEAÆs versatile voice is
floating in rivers of reverberation, accompanied by the
omnipresent ensemble of brass, strings, woodwinds and drums, and
an all male choir, that (to the end of the song) is hilariously
chanting away on the phenomenon of unexpected orgasms brought on
by the sexual powers of a certain (yet unnamed) characterÆs dark
charisma. The third track is a remix of ╗Shave, if you love me½,
followed by an instrumental edit of ╗La Mort dæArthur½, the
former being actually quite different from the album-version,
and the latter turns out to be weirdly joyful, even without the
innocent choir-boys in it. Track number five is the original
version of ╗Consider this½, this time with AVCÆs screaming
vocals on top of it, supported by forceful drum-parts, fragile
Asian instruments and lots of electronica. With the instrumental
piece ╗The Conqueror Worm II½ we reach the centre of ╗SANATORIUM
ALTROSA½, a track that might best be described as a classical,
string-based celebration of death and decay in all its glory.
Definitely one of the many highlights of this most peculiar
release. The warmth and enchanting beauty of the instrumental
version of ╗In der PalΣstra½ bridges the abyss to the sheer
terror of ╗Collision û you may lie on your back, if you want to
... even close your eyes to sleep½. This monster of a title is
also a true monster of a track, evoking a rather sudden change
of atmosphere. In fact, it is such a contrast to the previous
track(s) that it comes as quite a shock to the unexpecting
listener. The music is now extremely dark and unsettling, with
more than a touch of insanity woven into it, forcing us to
witness the wretched spectre of shame and homoerotic necrophila
returning from the ancient vaults. This track is certainly ôback
to the rootsö à and even far beyond! The following instrumental
edit of ╗Les Fleurs du Mal½ is therefore a most welcome relief
from all this horror, literally feels like a stroll through the
high grass of a lovely meadow on a warm summerÆs evening. The
likewise instrumental treat of ╗Bitter Sweet½ is both poetic and
wild, a pendulum swinging to and fro beween the sweet softness
of a gentle harp and the frantic sound of a high-pitched violin
combined with powerful rock-drums. Completing the magick circle
is another version of the marvellously orchestrated ╗Consider
this: the true meaning of Love½. Here ANNA-VARNEY is basically
screaming her lungs out in this most painful lamentation, a
heartfelt plea for medically assisted suicide, the universal
human right for euthanesia. The dramatic choirs accompany her
cries of agony and frustration, as she fiercely gives the
illusion of any romantic Love a damn hard slap in the sometimes
all too rosy face! -- And with the sombre toll of the funeral
bell à all comes to a quiet end.
