DESIDERII MARGINIS 'Thaw' CD
13.00EUR
Of the Swedish wave of ambient acts from the 1990s, Desiderii Marginis is
one of the few still active and definitely one of the finest of those few.
Far from being a typical project in the vein of Brian Eno/Lustmord, Johan
Levin, the mastermind behind Desiderii Marginis, has created and developed
its own unique sonic palette merging digital and analogue: melancholic
electronica with electroacoustic elements and intravenous rhythms. From
the early days his music met with positive reactions resulting in albums
on renowned the legendary Swedish Cold Meat Industry label, and lately
also on Canadian Cyclic Law.
Over the course of 20 years, Levin released 7 full-length albums, a 3-way
split and a collection of rare pre-debut demos plus numerous tracks on
various compilations. His latest offering entitled "Thaw" compiles the
latter and adds 3 tracks from the split "Lost Signals from Unknown
Horizons". On the one hand, it is simply a collection of rare tracks, but,
on the other, it may serve a purpose of a "best of" album. With the
chronology unaltered, it gives you the full picture of the project and its
progress. It is a history lesson of the last 20 years in sonic melancholia
of Desiderii Marginis.
This edition is released in a 3-panel digipak strictly limited to 1000
copies.
