Greetings All,

** Aural Hypnox News (16.6.2006)

Out now: Arktau Eos: 'Mirrorion', CD!

Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular
gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut
album of ARKTAU EOS is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense
private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and
further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the
distillation of seven arduous months of work.
As the title suggests, 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown
down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths
below, uniting atavistic elemental noise with serene passages of
crystalline, spectral ambience. Ultimately, 'Mirrorion' seeks to surpass
such earthly definitions in favour of a non-dual vision of reality,
hopefully transforming the listener in the process.

For this recording ARKTAU EOS have favoured an organic approach with
majority of instrumentation being of acoustic variety, including the
unearthly choral of the kanglings, piercings blasts of windbones,
accelerating steel-plate rolls, singing bowl and various kinds of
stringed instruments.

Comes in an six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies. PRICE: 12 € / $


Also, the second offering from our CD-R -section: Arktau Eos: 'Scorpion
Milk', CD-R!

'Scorpion Milk' consists of a single album length track, which is best
apprehended in a meditative state with minimum outside interference. It
is truly a "Mirror Noir" to the album itself - its shadowy companion,
the candle-bearer who responds to no call but silence itself. The music
can be likened to a dark well, the oily surface of which not only
reflects the phantasms of mind recalled through participation in the
"Mirrorion" cycle, but is occasionally broken by scorpionic surges of
primal Power invigorating the act of contemplation.
The effect is equal parts unsettling and soothing; the way forward to
the next ARKTAU EOS outing seen through a spectral kaleidoscope.
Performed and mixed live using mainly obscure ´70s electronica on a real
reel tape, it is the antithesis of the sterile, lifeless sound and
attitude of our times; a connoisseur's choice that stands alone despite
its undercurrents flowing from the heart of 'Mirrorion'.

Comes in a plastic slim case with hand-painted textures and an insert card.

Limited and numbered edition of 222 copies (first 80 copies are included
in the 'Mirrorion' -deluxe box). PRICE: 8 € / $
