1. vidnaObmana - Noise/Drone Anthology 1984-1989
After the well-received 20th anniversary anthology, vidnaObmana selected and re-mastered rare and unreleased pieces from his obscure and unfamiliar noise and experimental phase between 1984 and 1989 for Noise/Drone Anthology 1984-1989. All pieces were taken from old cassette masters and unreleased studio sessions, thus a lot of time and energy was invested in securing a high sound quality for this CD release. Expect a provoking combination of early drone and atmospheric pieces with sonic assaults of noise and vocal experiments.
The collection includes collaborative pieces with cassette-network pioneers Kapotte Muziek, PBK and Big City Orchestra. An essential compilation that re-confirms vidnaObmana's significance in the independent electronic and experimental music scene. It also shows the listener vidnaObmana's early foundation in meditative music, the path that followed over the next 20 years. Released on Ikon/Projekt and now available through our mail-order service at www.vidnaobmana.be
2. FEAR FALLS BURNING - update
Fear Falls Burning - he spoke in dead tongues :
Fear Falls Burning's full-length debut album of vintage guitar drones will be a double CD on vidnaObmana's own Ikon label in conjunction with US-based Projekt. This double CD is set to be released worldwide on August 30th 2005 and features over 2 hours of real-time recorded guitarchords in relation to vintage and replica guitar pedaleffects and tapeloops. This double album solidifies FFB's wilful vision in guitar droning music. In comparison to Fear Falls Burning's tour "First by a whisper, then by a storm" CD, way better balanced and sequenced but equally bold and unique.
