bloodmusic Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 PRE-ORDER: September 17th at 5PM Finnish time (10AM NYC). RELEASE: November 4th. Blood Music will be presenting the sixth album from Russian/Ukrainian underground post-rock/funeral doom masters, Kauan. The album, entitled "Muistumia" (meaning - "Reminiscences"), will see its first time printing on digipack CD and ultra-limited edition 2xLP. Additionally, we will have long-lost copies of the 2xLP first pressing of the band's most well-known album - "Aava Tuulen Maa" that were thought lost into the north of Finland. About "Muistumia": Through Kauan's growth and experimentation, its sound and production has vastly improved since its humble beginnings as a band of teenagers in remote Chelyabinsk, Russia. It was decided while in between labels to privately crowdfund the professional recording of a collection of re-arranged tracks from the band's early years. The band re-recorded six of the main tracks from the albums "Lumikuuro" and "Tietäjän Laulu" in addition to the recording of a brand new song called "Unsoi." The release was intended only for a core group of 53 individuals, but the demand for the release was too high. It is now being presented in a limited run of high-quality digipack editions with official artwork. The closing track / re-recorded version of "Orkidea" can be heard here: Kauan "Muistumia" 2xLP * First-time pressing of Kauan's beautiful 6th album. * 180-gram+ White (250 copies) or Black (150 copies) 2xLP * Mastered specifically for vinyl from the 24-bit original mixes. * Contains two bonus tracks - an early texture sketch, entitled "Nuotio" and the Summoning cover track "Long Lost To Where No Pathway Goes." * 350gsm heavyweight gatefold jacket with reverse-board rough-coated printing. * Black inner sleeves. Kauan "Muistumia" CD Limited edition of 1000 copies in 4-panel, rough-coated, reverse-board digipack. Kauan "Aava Tuulen Maa" 2xLP First-time pressing of Kauan's most well-loved album. The original label had difficulty selling copies, sold only 100 of them and stuck the others into an obscure book shop in the north of Finland. We tracked them down and are putting the rest of the copies for sale, now five years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Have you heard Sorni Nai yet? Yeah, that's what got me into the band. Such an incredible album. Beautiful and powerful.

JRHews Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yeah, that's what got me into the band. Such an incredible album. Beautiful and powerful. I'm going get my hands on a copy someday. Someday. Pirut and Kuu are my personal favs. But their whole discog is top notch, underrated stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRHews Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Reviving this to say the new album is absolutely beautiful. One of their best, loving the return of the harsh vocals and soaring atmosphere. The piano is also again at the center of this album and damn it's haunting. https://kauan.bandcamp.com/album/ice-fleet OU818 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
