We took a brief detour from our current project to make some Tarkovsky/Artemiev/Stalker-inspired sounds. We were too pleased with the results to let them languish in a forgotten folder.

Retuning our thoughts and magick mirrors back to Bassenthwaite...

De Spina Floruit

An impromptu cover of Trees and Flowers, live from our kitchen.

Layla (vox), Emily (vox, psaltery), Phil (guitar)

Trees and Flowers (Strawberry Switchblade)

You are entering a Pan controlled zone: 
frolic naked in the streets; 
make love in fields; 
cast spells in the woods; 
grow vegetables on reclaimed land; 
play music to the luminaries; 
imbibe wine and mushrooms.

Remixed Spring Equinox 2016.

Rory - Hurdy Gurdy;

Lyrics by Edwin Muir.

The Diamond of the Day

In memoriam JB.

A melancholick offering...
It would be foolish to include a vocal:
let what 'is' be known by its absence.

Batwing Variations (apophatic mix)

A bit of fluff from the end our boxing day band practice...

Winter Fragment

A homage to our favourite dead souls and endless inspirations. A version of a Coil classic; a Samhain gift from Hawthonn.

Performed by Hawthonn (Layla & Phil Legard) 
Artwork by Layla & Phil Legard 
Mastered by Hermetech Mastering
