REL.DATE.. 2-May-2005

"This limited edition CDR released in DVD packaging features a sampler of
the four acts featured at the 1¦ Congresso Neo PopÆnÆFolk festival as
organised by Old Europa CafÚ on the 23rd of October 2004 in Pordenone,
Italy. All tracks are listed ôin this form unreleasedö and I suppose in
the form they are presented they are at that. Several of the track names
are incorrectly printed yet are retained here for comparative purposes.

"The evening is encapsulated nicely to disc, direct line in to mixing desks
has allowed for remixing and stripping away the dregs of live performance,
including the audience no less. At times the mixing is a little heavily
compressed but is for the most part a clean and well-tuned production
that feels more like a band practice than the rapturous atmosphere of a
crowded hall.

"Spiritual Front's performance is a veridical domino of their studio work,
their introspective folk coverture as plaintive as ever. Heavy distortion
and clipping mars what would have otherwise been a great Ain Soph
offering, so poor is the mixing here that the clarity curdles funneled
noise, highly unpleasant and disappointing. Mr. Williams regales the
evening with his intellectual autopsy backed by his carnal pianoforte, a
remorseless cavalcade of tattered shreds of human misery. Thankfully the
mixing is without the scars that mutilated Ain Soph's session. Naevus end
the disc with a faultless recital, warm and intimate laments gouge their
grim folk in a worthy finale that can forgive some of the mixing mistakes
that tend to clip some of Lloyd JamesÆ vocals.

"The album is released as a one colour cover DVD case with photocopied
insert that shows each of the acts live, the CDR itself silkscreen printed.

NOTE: The distortion on the AIN SOPH tracks is on the CD itself, poor
mixing yet the other acts' tracks are of good quality.
