The World That Summer 20th Anniversary Bonus Disc



Please note: This disc is now available separately from Soleilmoon. (wassonii 6 Sept. 08)
Death In June

Tracklist:
Come Before Christ And Murder Love (2006)
Love Murder (Corn Years)
Break The Black Ice (Corn Years)
Rocking Horse Night (2006)
Torture By Roses (2006)
Rule Again (Corn Years)

The stone box edition is sold out and I believe this disc to be inherent to that release.
If you can find one, this is a beautiful presentation containing a nice artifact regarding the transitioning sound of DIJ. The "regular"reissue of TWTS proper is available either by itself through i-tunes, so check them out. Support your favourite artists if able!
The songs from The Corn Years have been remastered, but are otherwise identical to that release (way OOP). The 2006 tracks are beautiful and simply approached, allowing the songs and voice to be absorbed.
Check the killer mp3 player at the DIJ site.
Anyone have some Scorpion Wind to share?:)

Wall Of Sacrifice


Personnel : Douglas P., David Tibet, Rose McDowall, Boyd Rice, Nikolas Schreck, Andrea James, Jan O'

Tracklisting:
1. The Wall of Sacrifice 2. Giddy Giddy Carousel 3. Heilige Leben 4. Fall Apart 5. Bring in The Night 6. In Sacrilege 7. Hullo Angel 8. Death is a Drummer

According to Douglas, this title has been out of print for over a year and it's rerelease is not imminent. A good addition to the many sounds and masks of Death In June.
Originally released in 1989, this edition was remastered and released through Tesco 2003.
Wiki has this to say.
Per Brainwashed, "This album was at the time thought to be the last Death In June album. It marks the first collaboration of Douglas P. with Boyd Rice of NON. The track "Hullo Angel" was also recorded for Current 93's "Swastikas for Noddy" album. "
I know what I think, but did a search for info and thoughts regarding this album. Here's a fair assessment from a not-so-avid fan. For me, as intimated in a review at discogs , this is an in-between album regarding songwriting and styling, with some of Douglas's good dark pieces, and some of his best neofolk songwriting (for lack of a better description - I mean, in my opinion, he kinda was at the forefront of this sound.), which foreshadow his coming albums. It was limited to 666 copies on lp when initially pressed. Not for all, but worth a listen. A must for the fan currently without. While some of the tracks on this album appear, too, on Discriminate, the versions aren't necessarily the same. 320
P.S. DIJ has offerings at itunes. Don't know exactly what, but fyi.
