Review: The product of a week-long session in Rotterdam using vintage synths, Mnemosyne could never be described as disposable or throwaway. Indeed, after this short recording period there followed a two-year phase of 'reworking and reflection'. It's hard to say which part of the process was more effective, but irrespectively, these sessions have yielded the atmospheric, haunting "Wiccan"; the ghoulish, cemetery gate clanking of "Sybil" and the creepy, slow grind of "Prowl". Sonically located half way between a soundtrack to an imaginary horror film and dark ambient artists like Biosphere or Scorn, the album reaches its eerie zenith on the black magic drones of "Risacca".
