2024 Stock. ** 1000 hand-numbered copies, it comes with 4-page booklet ** Mechthild Von Leusch (aka Werkbund) this album should be viewed not as a collection of tracks, but as a mood album segmented into nearly a dozen pieces. It opens with a sombre spoken piece in German which evolves into a soaring harmonic 'vocal' piece, presumably using a Mellotron or similar, called "Legenden Des Windes". This is by far the least interesting piece on the entire album. Next comes "Rungholter Tanz 12", the first of nine rhythmic pieces which change mutate, transform in some wonderful shades of pigeon grey. It patters along with a 'damp' sound while 'heavenly' keyboards are played over the top. The rhythm reminds one of breathing, of horses at a goodish canter, of miners working frantically at a rich vein while the pit fills with water. "Rungholter Tanz 5A" has an echoing machine feel to it, the reflected sound an intergral part of the rhythm. This is Bruce Gilbert modern Performance Art dance music territory, similar but different enough to keep it unique. "Rungholter Tanz 8" is built around what sounds like a didgeridoo pulse, another piece of grey music which would have sat neatly on the "Dome #3" album, except this would probably have been the best track, "Rungholter Totentanz" is so familiar I know I have heard it before - a moody piece, creating an atmosphere of something 'impending', a tension in the air which can only break in violence or pain. "Rungholter Tanz 4" is a nervous, jumpy dance music with odd breaks in it to liberate gaspy noise.
