'Suenos' ('Dreams' in Spanish) is the title of the long-time sold out album from 2001, originally released by Cruel Moon/Cold Meat Industry - but the onomatopoeic sound reminds also of the English words for 'signs' and 'sounds'. More then 10 years later, Ataraxia & Infinite Fog Productions present this special and completely remastered edition, coming in A5-sized digibook packaging and with the bonus track 'Melisanda' on CD1 - a tracks that was released on the rare split 10" with Engelsstaub 'In Amoris Mortisque' from 1995. Additionally this special package comes with a bonus-CD, featuring a previously unreleased Live-recording of a celebrated Ataraxia concert in Argentina, recorded on April 21st 2001 in the capital Buenos Aires!
For the first time ...
For the first time in Ataraxia's career, 'Suenos' was not a conceptual album but a collection of new songs with different styles, themes, with different historical backgrounds and recorded with the use of many acoustic instruments. The album has been divided into three parts of 4 songs each: the first ('Ego Promitto Domino') features lyrics inspired by journeys and remembrances of middle Eastern lands. The sounds are between neo classical, orchestral for 4 voices and Mediterranean dreamy ambiances. The second part ('L'ame d'eau') is entirely based on Medieval ballads just for acoustic instruments and 2 voices and the Third part ('Sandy Dunes') finally is more intimate and meditative, once again the theme is the one of water linked to the female soul: The voyage through the sea, regret, the need of the sea. Just for Francesca's heavenly vocals... 2CD in A5 Hardcover Heavy Digibook with booklet, strictly limited to 200 copies ONLY!
