Three new import CDs in stock now, from Ataraxia & Autunna et sa Rose, Arditi, and The Moon and the Nightspirit, respectively. Plus all Midnight Syndicate CDs are back in stock at the Middle Pillar Store.

ARDITI, Spirit of Sacrifice
Format:CD Digipak   Price: $15.00  - order here -
In stock now! The long awaited 2nd full-length album by Arditi continues to explore the darker tones of Militaristic Industrial, combining masterfully Dark Ambient passages and Neo-Classical orchestrations.

ATARAXIA & AUTUNNA ET SA ROSE, La Via Verso il Cielo
Format:2 CD Digipak   Price: $20.00  - order here -
In stock now! Borrowing an ancient Wiepking and Co. piano, Ataraxia rearranged a collection of their finest tracks that would fit an entirely acoustic format, revisiting them in a warmer and more intimate form. This selection covers not only tracks from most of their releases, but also titles from the sold-out EPs "Orlando" and "Des Paroles Blanches", as well as two previously unreleased songs and material never before issued on CD. Autunna et sa Rose have used material from their first 3 albums, hereby interpreted on piano and cello, and featuring soprano vocals and poetic recitation. Saverio, the group's mastermind, and his companions bring to live dramatic pieces that push the typically softer tones of Neo-Classical music into a more demanding ground dominated by Contemporary Classical music. Interpretations of compositions by Ataraxia and Tuxedomoon were also part of the concert recorded in Rovigo that evening and included in this release.

THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT, Of Dreams Forgotten
Format:CD Digipak   Price: $15.00  - order here -
In stock now! A mystical journey into the amaranthine realm of dreams and beauty, long-forgotten by modern man. A journey inspired by pagan fables and ancient Hungarian folk music; nine songs filled with enchanting female vocals, violins, woodwinds (kaval, low whistle, flute) and piano, accompanied by acoustic guitars and shaman/frame drums.


These titles back in stock:

MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE, Born of the Night
Format: CD   Price: $10.00  - order here -
Their first recording. A gorgeous dark ambient CD which transports the listener to an imaginary setting, known as the "Dark Tower", and allows them to journey throughout the eerie corridors of a haunted castle. Wallow in the shadow orchestrations.

MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE, Dungeons & Dragons
Format: CD   Price: $12.00  - order here -
Strings, chants, and orchestral percussion accent this melodic score reminiscent of "Conan', LOTR, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the Mummy" soundtracks, mixing fantasy, adventure and horror themes. An excellent neo-classical extravagance that should be appreciated by lovers of all baroque music, beyond just fans of the role-playing title.

MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE, Gates of Delirium
Format: CD   Price: $10.00  - order here -
A gothic/horror journey into the macabre world of an asylum gone awry. Pushing the boundaries of the gothic and classical crossover music genres, this release creates a unique mix of dark instrumental storytelling via music and effects and dark whimsy that at times even re-calls Danny Elfman. All M.S. titles are finally back in stock.

MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE, Realm of Shadows
Format: CD   Price: $10.00  - order here -
A continuation of the last album's "story", casting the listener into the ruins of a mysterious village that was thought to be desolate... until now. Realm explores the atmospheric essence of mystery with the more bombastic stirrings of horror and suspense to a dark ambient score. Finally back in stock.

MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE, The 13th Hour
Format: CD   Price: $12.00  - order here -
The band's sixth musical score, "The 13th Hour", features Midnight Syndicate's haunting blend of horror music, dark orchestration and chilling sound effects that deftly draws the listener into the halls of a haunted Victorian mansion with a sinister history. Through the utilization of audio "imagery" with perfectly paced melodic motifs the listener is granted passage into a frightening and fun (assuming you think horror movies are fun!) expedition through the mysteries that lay beyond this world.

MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE, Vampyre: Symphonies from the Crypt
Format: CD   Price: $10.00  - order here -
Set in the catacombs of an ancient graveyard, the new Midnight Syndicate disc blends the horror, beauty, and mystery of the vampire in a gothic-drenched nightmare soundscape of the darkest proportions. In stock now!

These titles and more can be found in our new releases section.
