Tracklist
1 Catacomb Resonator 37:15
Notes Limited to 423 copies. CD comes enclosed in a customized, screen-printed cardboard cover
"Every man is a catacomb resonator; our very being resounds with hidden desires, dreams of unknown origin, and deeper still, primordial voices of our buried ancestry. We are a labyrinth unto ourselves; and equally we stand as a totem-pole at the crossroads of a universe, gazing into distant horizons. We are a nameless grave from which the self divine may rise to witness new constellations light up on the darkening firmament.
It is this process which the sixth Arktau Eos album attempts to convey: led by abyssal psalmody, the sonic tapestry is interwoven with dusty, crackling electronics of a bygone era and other, subtler elements for an all-enveloping sound that readily lends itself to prolonged listening sessions. Between the two segments, the sides A and B, lies the secret canticle: heard by few, yet ever present. While the vinyl edition is in some ways the optimal medium for the album at hand, the CD has the advantage of being mixed as a seamless whole. Choose as ye will!
The CD version of the album is enclosed in customised, screen printed cardboard covers. Limited to 423 copies.
The 'Catacomb Resonator’ LP is enclosed in customised, screen printed cardboard covers including xeroxed and stamped insert. Limited to 423 copies.
The special edition of 'Catacomb Resonator' comes in a screen printed graphite grey tote bag carrying the Arktau Eos 'Catacomb Compass' symbol and is limited to 60 copies. This edition includes both the 'Catacomb Resonator' CD and LP, as well as an exclusive insert suitable for framing, sigilised and numbered by Arktau Eos and the cover artist KTL. The special edition is accompanied by an exclusive C-50 cassette album 'Repository I' housed inside screen printed covers.
The occasional 'Repository' tapes contain material that for some reason falls outside album contexts proper: private meditations, lengthy experiments & so forth, which may yet be of interest to the most dedicated of Arktau Eos' listeners. Tape #1 opens the series with "Avaruuksien avaaja" and "Syvänteiden oraakkeli", both running to 20+ minutes.
утром лучше не слушать, в сон вгоняет сразу. и терпения при начале прослушивания. я сначала подумал, что или джек отошел или ещё что-то с наушниками. саунд ритуален как обычно, тут всё очень качественно на 5/5.

"Arktau Eos unveil a new album, Erēmos, one of their most involved and intense creations. While intentionally minimal on the surface, layer upon layer of subtle, haunting, and evocative sounds are slowly revealed to the attentive listener. Erēmos aims at nothing less than the total transition of the listener to the desert realms implied by the title. Old synthesizers and ritualistic acoustic elements are seamlessly blended with even more obscure aural phenomena, including field recordings done in Northern Finland and the untamed steppes of Mongolia.
As has been the testimony of wise men and women of all faiths, solitude bestows its own distinct gifts upon the seeker, a process here treated in less intimate terms than on the voice-led Catacomb Resonator. Erēmos is more expansive; the desert that opens before the listener is not a locus of temptations or simple retreat, but a vivid inner mindscape of dramatic confrontations and transformations between flora, fauna, stellar matter, earth, and stone. Gradually they shed away the humanness in its most banal sense, until man identifies with the scorpionic voice of power that carries to the ends of the earth – and cosmos.
Erēmos is exactly 49 minutes long, split in nine distinct segments, released in an edition of 440 pcs. The CD is enclosed in customised, screen printed cardboard covers including an oversized folded insert on old paper stock. Once again, Arktau Eos have closely collaborated with artist KTL on the artwork.
In addition, there are 11 copies of the album printed in unusual and weird colours (internally called the Bleeding Stones edition); they will be sigilized by Arktau Eos and come with extra photographs. First come, first served, to be found in the webshop.
Arktau Eos are considering the release of thematically related but independent recordings in the Repository series, which is but one of the projects they are currently working on." http://www.helixes.org/arktau-....-hypnox
