Dedicated to those who have gone ahead of us. The threshold looms & boundaries thin as we celebrate both sides of the veil, the spectres & the saints.

Thank you to those present for this incarnation - Charlie Martineau & Jesse Peper.

Thank you to those not present - Fredrik Öström & Marcus Fjellström as the impetus....

Fredrik Öström supported elseproduct more than any other person that I didn't know, with tributes to bands and people who've died, this is my small tribute to someone who mattered. My respect to Malin and Sebastian Öström. Fredrik made a difference in my life.

Fredrik & I discussing Of Spectres & Saints as a series:

First Impressions...

Pure isolationistic music. From toe-tapping cold electro to somber ambient landscapes.
Indeed a hell of a ride. Some of the stuff from Mort Douce I got from Adam himself when
I was heavily promoting him on the COIL-list a few years ago. At a point I think Cold Spring
was interested in distributing his stuff...

I would love to see a release of "Of Spectres And Saints" as an annual event. Just like that.
A limited edition Halloween release with creepy songs and textures collected during the year.

I was surprised by Esperik Glare. I hadn't expected such haunting beauty. Alien landscape...
Foreboding. Surface Hoar ends their album with a beautiful cry of despair. Whatever Happened
To Romance? ... Indeed.

Jesse Pep'er's "Autophagia" could be the soundtrack for one of Clive Barker's nightmares.
Excellently executed electronic menace. I.m.h.o. the closest to 3z13...
