Oh this is easily some of the best metal I've heard in a while. That riff in Gnosis Of The Summon is pure evil.

Also a re-post, because a) it's really good and more people should hear it and b) the noticed the ID tags were kinda messed up. What I originally wrote about this:
Goes from avant garde cello minimalism to very noisy black metal with what sounds like a mix between Morrissey and the guy from Weakling on vocals. To quote Aquarius Records, they sound like "...a band described as an opera singer, wandering drunkenly down the street, who ducks into a live Karaoke bar, only to discover that the backup band is something like Burzum or Woodtemple, and thus proceeds to CROON maniacally atop their grim fuzzy midtempo buzzing backing, in an ultra dramatic warble that is equal parts Ethel Merman, Devil Doll's Mr. Doctor and Tom Jones??" Again an album that needs to be reissued asap.

Kunsthall
[dark ambient, ambient]
MF (77 MB)
This is technically a re-post. Turns out the version of this album I had up earlier wasn't the proper one. The last track is the same, but it looks like the first two tracks weren't actually even Paysage d'Hiver, even though they sure sound like it. I downloaded the first Urfaust demo (to be posted in a minute), and confusingly found one of the (apparently) incorrect Einsamkeit tracks on it. I'm pretty sure this here is the real album though. This was originally released limited to only 300 copies, but I think Kunsthall are planning on reissuing most of the Paysage d'Hiver stuff, so I hope I'll be able to buy this soon.

video: derek bailey - on the edge, a documentary on improvisation
Really good documentary (or at least parts of it) on improvised music from 1992, written and narrated by Derek Bailey. More info about the documentary here. First two episodes here (thanks to anonymous). All four episodes downloadable here (thanks to sebastianx13). Someone should reissue this on a DVD or something.
