"Whom The Moon A Nightsong Sings" is a compilation of rare value
- not only because of the fact that this is one of the few
conceptual compilations that are based around a central theme
and where the choice of artists present was subjected to a rigid
selection. No, "Whom The Moon A Nightsong Sings" is a two-CD
collection with a playing time of over 100 minutes that unites
all the main players and the most promising newcomers of a
nameless genre that is defined by (mostly) acoustic musical
settings of nature's sceneries and impressions, or of personal
sentiments mirrored in nature. This profound respect and a
deeply romantic magical and mystical perception of nature are
the common denominator of all the featured artists and the
thematic foundation of their contributions. The fact that nearly
all of the songs included here are either exclusive to this
project or rare tracks that aren't otherwise available anymore
serves to emphasize the extraordinary character of this release.
One of the highlights on "Whom The Moon A Nightsong Sings" is
certainly Empyrium's contribution û the ensemble's first new
recording in four years and the impressive beginning of a new
creative period. Also featured are the genre's founding fathers,
Ulver, with a very rare recording from 1997: their track 'Synen'
was only featured on a very limited underground compilation and
is probably the Norwegians' most sought-after song. The
contributions by bands such as October Falls, Nest, or Neun
Welten - artists who have forged the genre's identity in the
last ten years and have become major points of reference for
lovers of dark, nature-attuned acoustic music - or by as-yet
unknown quantities such as the British project Nhor or Syven
from Finland are also delivering the goods and certainly bear
comparison with the genre's founding fathers. The enchanting
cover artwork courtesy of Fursy Teyssier (Les Discrets) tops off
a release that, because of its musical content, is certainly
going to remain a unique and unrivalled audio document for a
long time.
