This Immortal Coil

Όχι, δε πρόκειται για λάθος. Πρόκειται για ένα ξεχωριστό δίσκο ονόματι The Dark Age of Love με ερμηνείες των κομματιών των θρυλικών πλέον Coil των οποίων η μουσική πορεία σταμάτησε απότομα το 2004 με το θάνατο του Jhοnn Balance, ενός από τα δύο ιδρυτικά μέλη.




Μετά από τέσσερα περίπου χρόνια προετοιμασίας και δουλειάς το αποτέλεσμα κυκλοφόρησε στις 13/09 σε περιορισμένο αριθμό LP και CD. Το όνομα του project αποτελεί ξεκάθαρη αναφορά στη σουπερ - μπάντα που σχηματίστηκε από το πρόεδρο της 4AD κατά τη δεκαετία του '80 (This Mortal Coil).
Στο project συμμετέχουν μεταξύ άλλων οι: Matt Elliott, Yann Tiersen, Sylvain Chauveu και Bonnie Prince Billy(!).


Yael Naim, Chapelier Fou, David Donatien, Hannes d'Hoine, Roel Van Camp, Christine Ott - The Dark Age of Love

Your Hand In Mine



Your Hand In Mine consists of two students from Thessaloniki, Greece. Manos Milonakis plays wurlitzer piano, melodica, toy piano, and does the programming, while George Papadopoulos plays some guitar shaped toy synth, mandolin, glockenspiel hits random objects in his rythmic kit. The project came out from members of the post-rock band Shortcat in late 2006, giving them the opportunity to express their love to acoustic instruments, french folk songs and street musicians. With a constantly growing collection of custom, toy instruments and machines, Your Hand In Mine act as live-looping based duet, willing to present a new-romantic, deeply personal sense of chamber music. Strongly impatient, they released their first recordings in 100 totally handmade cd copies in January 2007. The self titled ep, having references to modern west-european folk and experimentation, defines the band’s aesthetic and identity. In the summer of 2007 they composed original music for Mikio Naruse’s silent masterpiece Every Night Dreams which they presented live at Thessaloniki’s International Film Festival in November. Every Night Dreams is officially released by Inner Ear label. (www.last.fm)
