***The music on this long awaited CD issue of the legendary first album by Bavarian collective Village of Savoonga spans 1991-'94 and still stands as the group's favorite material. With five non-LP songs from rare singles and compilations, this completes the Village of Savoonga discography on compact disc.

Village of Savoonga's delightfully mysterious music has consistently bewildered listeners with its beautiful, 3am-texture drapery, subdued pacing, somber piano, scratchy looped sounds, and spooky organ-drenched segments. Mood pieces, electronic manipulations and semi-structured rock segments frequently originate as soundtracks for films - Sparta's Philipp Schatz and F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu in the case of tracks on their acclaimed second album, Philipp Schatz. The band's third full-length album, Score, found itself on "Best of the Year" lists of numerous critics. The soundtracks here originated with rhythmic, noisy or "natural" sounds, further "alienated" by electronics with loops and musical tracks layered on top, and completed over a two-year period as the band added more layers and melded everything into a pair of suites.

***The fourth and probably final chapter in the Village of Savoonga story happens to be a live album, recorded at the annual Hausmusik Festival in 2001. One of the final VoS live shows, it also happens to be (in the band's own opinion) one of their best shows ever. The material spans all three previous VoS releases, and shows the band's sound returning (full circle) to its initial incarnation as a soft/loud guitar group. Gone are the loops and ambient flourishes, as the live ensemble approaches the heights associated with Shellac and Slint.
  • This Bavarian collective features members from Notwist, Tied & Tickled Trio, Lalipuna, and about 74 other great German bands
  • A popular cult band with dedicated North American following, via three previous Communion / Hausmusik releases
  • This live testament to the greatness features seven completely different and redone versions of studio favorites
  • Reference points: Chicago, Louisville, Munich
