"1999 collaboration between Etant Donnés (Eric and Marc Hurtado) and Michael Gira (Swans), featuring Mark Cunningham (Mars) and Saba Komossa (Delkom) and based on the work of Austrian poet Georg Trakl.The Hurtado brothers create a fittingly eerie, somber, and desolate soundscape as backdrop to Michael Gira's reading and singing (in German) of Trakl's equally somber poetic text. The music is filled with drones, noise, rumblings, bits of percussion, Gira's deep and entrancing voice, Komossa's sensual interventions, and Cunningham's martial trumpet. From the opening moments, the listener is dealing with mysterious and menacing musical textures and the voice of Michael Gira that is slow, strange, nonchalant, sounding as under the influence of powerful narcotics...." 2018 reissue.
