SOL INVICTUS

All Things Strange And Rare
1998
TURSA 016 USE CD

In part a compilation of compilations, Sol Invictus' first American-pressed album (limited to 1000 copies) brings together the three tracks from the mini-CD issued with the now out-of-print Sol songbook, Above Us The Sun, with three other recordings: the 'Looking For Europe' 7" version, 'A Palace Of Worms' and 'Hedda Gabbler'. The latter two were recorded for the Cthulhu compilations The Lamp of the Invisible Light and Im Blutfeuer respectively. The 'Palace Of Worms' is an extended track incorporating five other pieces and was jointly recorded with Evil Twin (David Mellor and Karl Blake) in 1991. 'Hedda Gabbler' was written by John Cale and is named after the Ibsen play. Illustrating different styles and periods of Tony Wakeford's work, this full-length CD is a must for those who have missed the material before. The effective visual design was conceived and executed by Derek Rush of Dream Into Dust and the CD is available only from Middle Pillar.
