NATURE AND ORGANISATION - BEAUTY REAPS THE BLOOD OF SOLITUDE DIGICD

YOUTUBE ►

Genre: Neofolk

Nature And Organisation is the creative musical works of iconic English artist, musician and composer Michael Cashmore. The music is a mix of acoustic, classical and folk structures infused with abrasive electronic instrumentation. NaO’s 1994 album “Beauty Reaps…” has been stated as the greatest neofolk album ever by many reviewers over the years. Having only one official vinyl release and a couple of unofficial ones since its original release date, Svart Records now have the honor of bringing this legendary masterpiece back on the market.

Cashmore was a member of Current 93 from the late 1980s until around 2006, composing the majority of the music for the group during that period, and has also collaborated with many artists, including David Tibet, Douglas Pearce, Steven Stapleton, ANOHNI, Marc Almond and Rose McDowall. With Nature And Organisation he utilised a mix of acoustic instruments, surreal sound collages, cut-up super 8mm film and tape loops to create a sound that would later be regarded as influential in the genre of post-industrial music.

The cult neofolk-classical opus Beauty Reaps the Blood of Solitude returns – painstakingly remastered and reissued for the ultimate listening experience. A haunting blend of baroque beauty and apocalyptic folk, featuring collaborations with members of Current 93 and Death in June. Includes all-new artwork by Cashmore himself
