酒酿丸子之八卦记忆碎片

Band - Serpentoria
Title - Withering Hopes
Label - Via Nocturna
Format - CDR
Year - 2006
Genre - Dark Ambient

Via Nocturna presents its first own release called: Serpentoria - "Withering Hopes". The music on the CD is a 45 minute collection of cold sound passages drawing the listeners into a dark land with their hypnotizing melancholy. The artist used mainly keyboards and some additional drums, as well as occassional sentimental bells.

Although music generated by Serpentoria might be tiring, as it's based on just one instrument, it may be interesting enough for you to sit back and relax, depending on your mood.
Some themes just end too fast. The tracks made me feel as if there was some culmination to come, something more attractive and memorable, but nothing like that actually happened. It's really a pity, as the record leaves us craving for something more.

The whole album is monotonous, leading us into a melancholical, brooding mood, thanks to the abovementioned methods. For the fans of the genre it's a must-listen, for those looking for new experiences - not really.

波蘭厰牌Via Nocturna的首張出品自然要提攜本土團體咯，Serpentoria的這張專輯也是其首張唱片，不過Dark Ambient這類風格音樂一般都不是我的菜，不過還好，我還能完整的把這張唱片聼完，縂比一般的強力電子發出的高頻噪聲折磨我的耳朵要好點。

来自法国里昂的小帅哥，从2000年就开始玩音乐了，风格还复杂多变，前卫摇滚玩过，黑电子也玩过，进入2006年他又玩起现在流行的Dark Folk，自发行了一张Quinta Essentia，看他的自我介绍好像受Sopor Aeternus的毒害不浅，连在唱片里的发音都在学他。

This is the first collaboration between this two dark folk – martial bands.

An album full of emotions and melancholic , A curious mixture but a poetic journey. A tribute and a collaboration at the same time !!. The music is impossible for me to describe, so please listen this album and enjoy the best side of this two bands.

又是一张2支Dark Folk团体在南美阿根廷厂牌Twilight Records出品的拼盘，说到阿根廷扯句题外话，刚才的世界杯小组赛阿根廷和塞黑，阿根廷导演了本次世界杯的最大屠杀，阿根廷6比0痛宰最后一次以塞黑名义出征的塞黑队，尤其是第二个进球，绝对是本届世界杯最经典进球，10球以上一脚传递，最后雷霆一击破门，极具想象力和视觉冲击力。回到正题，匈牙利团体Cawatana无论在以前的Promo还是在正式唱片中给人的印象都是演绎款款深情且旋律性优美的新民谣作品，没想到在这张Split的出演彻底颠覆我对Cawatana的印象，套用前句，极具想象力和听觉冲击力；而法国团体Storm of Capricorn的出演显然没有Cawatana来的出彩，但依然不可否认Storm of Capricorn的优秀,Cloudbusting就非常出色，不过还是感觉其中的女声换成浑厚的男声大概更棒。
