CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description From the deepest vault at Soleilmoon, a much loved but long unavailable classic has been remastered, repackaged and re-issued. "Heresy", the album that launched and defined the dark ambient genre when it was first released in 1990, has been hailed by critics and fans as one of the most important works of its time. "Heresy" was recorded in various subterranean locations and manipulated in the studio with Andrew Lagowski (Legion, SETI, Lagowski, etc) providing engineering and additional programming. It was the first Lustmord album to feature extensive sampling and computer assisted sound design. Recent improvements in sound technology permitted Lustmord to re-master and significantly improve on the original recordings for this new version, which comes in a digipak and even bears a new catalog number. Brian Williams, the man behind Lustmord, currently works as a sound designer in Hollywood. His most recognizable musical contributions to soundtracks can be heard on "The Crow" and "Underworld", but he has contributed his talents to numerous films and computer games. His resume includes musical collaborations with The Melvins, Tool, Chris & Cosey, Coil, Paul Haslinger (Tangerine Dream), SPK, Robert Rich, Current 93 and Nurse with Wound. He has done remixes for Jarboe (Swans), Venetian Snares and Mortiis. From 1985 until 1999 he ran Side Effects Records, the label launched by SPK, releasing more than 30 albums. As Lustmord he has released 10 albums and singles, as well as additional works as Arecibo, Terror Against Terror and Isolrubin BK, all of which were conceived as means to explore different musical directions. "Heresy" stands as Lustmord's signature work, and this new edition shows even more why it's been a best seller for such a long time. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAn Dark Ambient Wonder James Hissom | Charleston, WV | 04/02/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is my favorite of all Lustmord's output, partly because it gets to the root of both "dark" and "ambient" by processing naturally ambient sounds while avoiding the more dramatic and thematic structures of his other releases. The sustained, athematic ambience may remind some listeners of Brian Eno's "On Land" taken deep underground, but the wonderfully ambiguous effect is the same. The sounds that some reviewers of the earlier release have described as human or animal screams are so processed that they can be taken for any kind of primordial animate sound, muffled in a general inanimate darkness. The overall effect, for me, is neither scary and inhuman, but complicatedly non-human - nature without the cultivated flowers and Care Bears - and that's the wonder of it. As the editorial review hints, this can be good a background for reading Lovecraft, but then Lovecraftian horror has less to do with the ever-delayed specific threat of his monsters than a kind of dark wonder in the face of a radically non-human cosmos - not unlike the opening of Mahler's Nr. 7, the "Symphony of the Night," and contemporary experiments in "night music." It's not something you listen every morning over tea, but a kind of aural spelunking that everyone who's into truly ambient music should try."
