Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Have You Seen This Ghost?

official label / press-text:

It's beautiful ... it's dark, it's sad and it's ... - so beautiful.

We have no words to adequately describe the enchanted music(k) of SOPOR AETERNUS & The Ensemble Of Shadows' new release. Those of you, who are familiar with ANNA-VARNEY CANTODEA's art, know that s/he (literally) plays in her own league. Generally speaking, her work is always like the forgotten soundtrack to a phantastic, gothic horror film that was never meant for a human audience to see ... - and this album is certainly no exception: Building a bridge from the dark chamber-music of the transitory Death-suite of "Dead Lovers' Sarabande" to the playful frivolity of "A Strange Thing to Say", this highly anticipated second chapter of the trilogy »A Triptychon of Ghosts« marvellously captures the true essence of what once used to be called Goth, as our beloved Goddess ANNA-VARNEY CANTODEA is travelling on her lonely journey through the realms of darkness beyond the grave.
