Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally commissioned as an alternative live score for F.W. Murnau's silent masterpiece 'Nosferatu', this recording represents a stark shift for the French avant-prog ensemble. They largely abandoned acoustic instrumentation in favor of freezing, mechanical synthesizers and samplers, generating a profoundly ominous and post-industrial atmosphere.
