Raison D’être “Within the Depths of Silence and Phormation” 2LP (139th Cycle) First time on vinyl. Double vinyl re-issue of the third full-length album of raison d’être that was first released in 1995. “Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations” takes the listener deep below the world of the ordinary into the catacombs of the subconscious, the worlds lying within us so few ever live to explore. This is music meant to stimulate the mind, to inspire one in their explorations of self and solitude. Layers of ethereal atmospheres and the collage of choirs, strings, bells and occasional voices slowly bleed together to create music for society whose spirituality has been rendered impotent. Soaking in this world, one is left with the impression of overwhelming sadness and profound desolation. This is the sound of all hope nullified.

Double vinyl re-issue of the fourth full-length album of raison d’être that was first released in 1997. Yet another astonishing dark ambient industrial masterpiece it defines the term “hauntingly beautiful”. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn’t produce mystical states outright. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars strew with bones and ashes. This time “In Sadness, Silence an Solitude” has been considerably expanded with additional material and made it into a double album featuring unique and previously unreleased compositions all carefully mastered according to the K-14 level standard for highest possible sound quality.
