Back in old tears

(Flying Saucer Attack is an experimental space rock band that formed in Bristol, England in 1992. David Pearce was the core member of the group, and Rachel Brook (of Movietone, another Bristol band) was a member for most of the band's lifetime.

The band were marked by quiet vocals and sheets of feedback with similarities to contemporary shoegazing bands, or The Jesus and Mary Chain. FSA were able to create a small but enthusiastic fanbase as one of the more remarkable experimental bands of the day. The band were notable for recording most of their output at home into a normal home stereo system, avoiding recording studios as much as they could. This gave their music a DIY feel and gave them the freedom to experiment as much as they wanted).

Summa sapientia naturae

(Jocelyn West (formerly Jocelyn Montgomery) is a Scottish musician and actress; she was one of the founding members of the band Miranda Sex Garden. After leaving the band in the early 1990s she joined the medieval music ensemble Sinfonye. In 1998 West sang songs written by Hildegard von Bingen* for this album Lux Vivens, that was produced by David Lynch.

In the fall of 1996, Jocelyn and co-producer Heidrun Reshoeft took a trip along the Rhine river valley to explore the historical sites of Hildegard von Bingen's life: Disibodenberg, the convent Hildegard entered at the age of eight; Eibingen, the second convent she founded, where today nuns still live and work in the monastic daily routine of Hildegard's time; Rupertsberg in Bingen, where in her late 40's Hildegard founded her own convent, and lived and worked until her death in 1179. It is at the monastery after a performance of Hildegard's songs by Jocelyn that the idea of producing an album of Hildegard's music from a unique, modern perspective takes shape).

[*Hildegard von Bingen (1098 – 1179), was a German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, visionary, and polymath. She is considered to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany].

Contemplating the clouds of sadness

(Oneiroid Psychosis is an American dark wave musical duo consisting of brothers Lars and Leif Hansen. Originally known simply as Psychosis, they were discovered by Decibel Records in 1993 and have been making music using the name Oneiroid Psychosis since. The music of Oneiroid Psychosis is known as some of the darkest in existence. Characterized by dark synth textures and thought-provoking lyrics and vocals - it is difficult to categorize them. Thus they became the originators of a new genre now known as Progressive Darkwave. The phrase "oneiroid psychosis" defines a pathologic state in which the subject has difficulty differentiating between reality and dreams).

The numeric code of death

(Aluk Todolo is a Grenoble based french instrumental power trio performing Occult Rock since 2004. Their music is a methodical exploration of the powers of musical trance. Part occult black metal fend and part snide kraut menace, the band conjures rabid obsessive rhythms and abyssal disharmonic guitars, subliminal spiritualist vibrations and bizarre, magick summonings. Aluk Todolo reduces psychedelic improvisation to a bare, telluric instrumentation, in which dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass. The band’s sound is monolithic and stabbing, hypnotic but unpredictable, minimalist yet teeming. 

The name was brought back from a mountainous region of South Sulawesi in Indonesia, it’s an ancient religion with animist beliefs meaning "The Way of the Ancestors").

Un battesimo in nero

(Monumentum was an Italian atmospheric dark/experimental/goth band that was formed in 1987 in Milan by Roberto Mammarella and Anthony Duman. With the intent to create dark music inspired by the likes of Celtic Frost and Christian Death, a demo was recorded in 1989. Although only 150 copies of this cassette were made, it impressed other bands in the underground metal scene and became a cult item, regardless of this fact, the band broke up for a short period of time in 1990.

In 1991 Obscure Plasma Records picked two tracks from the band's demo and released a split single with Rotting Christ - this release garnered particular acclaim in Norway where the band was set to sign with Euronymous' Deathlike Silence Productions, unfortunately Euronymous' murder by Burzum member Varg Vikernes made any record deal impossible for the band. In 1994 Mammarella recruited a new lineup and in 1995 they signed to English Label Misanthropy Records and released the critically acclaimed In Absentia Christi, after which the band ceased activity once more.

In 2002, Roberto Mammarella resurfaced with a completely new line-up to record the album Ad Nauseam. In 2004 Monumentum briefly resumed activity to contribute to the Tribute To Dead Can Dance: The Lotus Eaters CD (covering "Windfall"). As of 2004, the band has disbanded permanently.
