Celtichants
(Alone At Last - AAL3) CD $7.00 (Out-of-stock)
An hour-long excavation that brushes away thick layers debris and reveals ancient drones that emerge from the ether. Fragments of chants are agonized screams in the far distance, only in the closing minutes forcing their way through with any great clarity. Packaged in custom-made textured paper with three photos of miocenic basalts made by Siegmar Fricke in Maspalomas (Gran Canaria Island).
