Hello,

Thomas Feiner has just released a brand new video of "The Siren Songs" taken from the latest samadhisound release "The Opiates - Revised.

You can see it below, and here are a few words from Thomas about how the video came about:

"The Siren Songs always continued to evoke a lot of inner imagery for me, and I felt curious to see if I could get some of that out of my system.
For practical purposes I knew it would have to be an animation, and as I have some limited experience in the field, I felt that it would no doubt amount to a rather daunting task requiring extra help. Accidentally I had previously stumbled upon the video works of Polish graphical artist Aubo Lessi and felt inspired by his abstract approach and sense of musical timing. We more or less ended up dividing the various movie sections between us in a process that involved illustration aswell as 3D-animation, not to mention extensive use of a very nice set of plugins from Swedish developer Trapcode."

Director: Thomas Feiner

Hello,

We're excited to announce the latest addition to the SamadhiSound catalogue; 'The Opiates - Revised' by Thomas Feiner & Anywhen (sound-cd ss013).

For the few that got to hear the original release of 'The Opiates' it was an absorbing, captivating experience featuring the deep, rich vocals of Thomas Feiner – but it was a project that'd once threatened to go unfinished. Whilst the album began as a group effort, the band Anywhen dissolved in the two years it took to complete – leaving Feiner to finish the project alone.

This revised, re-packaged and remastered edition of 'The Opiates' will be the first time many will have heard of the album or the artist Thomas Feiner (although a track was included on David Sylvian's 'The World Is Everything' tour book sampler cd). The release comes several years after Sylvian was introduced to the work, which he regards as something of a lost classic having only been released in a few territories. The addition of two new Feiner tracks have further strengthened what was already a remarkably beautiful recording.

Sylvian recalls, "The dark, brooding, romantic nature of the material and, in particular, the emotional gravity of Thomas' voice, came as something of a surprise to me as it was quite out of keeping with my listening habits of the time but I couldn't help but be drawn into its widescreen, colour-drained, soundscapes."
Presented as ever in a beautiful digipak designed by Chris Bigg, featuring exquisite images of Jean Cocteau and Marcel Khill taken by Cecil Beaton.

You can pre-order the album from today at the SamadhiSound store. www.samadhisound.com

Available immediately is the lead track from the album, 'The Siren Songs', as an mp3 or FLAC:
