Twinsistermoon - The Hollow Mountain

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Twinsistermoon is a solo project of Mehdi Ameziane, who is also one half of Natural Snow Buildings. Not really sure how to describe this, psychedelic folk? Post-folk? Anyway, this was released earlier in the year by Dull Knife records on wax, pre-orders are now being taken for the CD version on Blackest Rainbow.

I've uploaded 3 tracks from the album so you can check it out. They were ripped from vinyl so they're slightly low fidelity. Here.

Nancy Elizabeth new album and single

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

So a few months ago I posted Nancy Elizabeth's Battle and Victory. On the 5th October her new album, Wrought Iron, was released. Again on Leaf, it's available on CD, vinyl, and as a digital download. You can grab a copy here.

In addition, the first single taken from the album entitled 'Feet of Courage' has been released as a download with two exclusive remixes, and there's also an accompanying video (Nancy's first vid!) you can check the single out here and the video here. I haven't yet heard the album, but the single sounds really nice.

Update/explanation

Hello everyone,

I know it has been quiet on the western front, but I have other duties that have been taking up my time. I hope that the regularity of the posts here will start to pick up slightly in time. As you will have noticed, I'm moving Shaded Moontide away from being your typical mp3 download blog, in favour of news and exposure. I shall still be posting the odd download, namely any rare and out of print material I come across/unearth, and any samples any artists or labels might want to send my way.

A Skin Too Few: The Days of Nick Drake (Documentary, 2000)

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

DVD rip of this film documenting the life and career of Nick Drake. I think originally released and shown in a few select picture houses in 2000, never properly released on DVD. I got this with the re-release of the Fruit Tree boxset ages ago, I always intended to upload it but it slipped my mind until now.
Anyway, this is a high quality XviD encode. I can make the .ISO available to anyone that wants it, send me an email at the address specified in my profile. All I ask is that you make a comment on this post.

Director: Jeroen Berkvens
Length: 48 Minutes
Filming Location: Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire, England.

Autumn Grieve news

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

I was thinking of re-posting Autumn Grieve's Terra Infinita EP, which I posted a few months ago on the blog. However then some stuff happened, including a re-release of said EP, so I'll make this a news post.

For those of you who missed the first Autumn Grieve post, she's a Canadian folk/classical singer/composer. Terra Infinita has recently been re-released as a remastered, extended edition, including two songs from the first EP, Another Window. Including the remarkable packaging, it's a great release. I'd advise anyone whom missed the first pressing to pick it up.

Also, a new Autumn Grieve EP entitled Stray Birds has been released in the last few days, the first pressing of which is limited to a tiny 21 copies. Info on both releases can be found in the following places:

You can download the original version of Terra Infinita here.

Espen Jørgensen - On the Great Alkali Plains (2006)

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

I have posted this elsewhere in the past, however it's something I also think our readers here will appreciate. Espen Jørgensen is a Norwegian acoustic/classical/new age guitarist, this is his first and so far only solo release to date. This is one of my very favourite releases, this guy is an incredibly talented and highly overlooked musician. I'm not going to bother quoting any reviews or press releases or whatever, what you really need to do is let your ears give this their undivided attention, and afterwards show your appreciation by buying a copy of the CD (which comes in a very beautiful digipak).

Label: Jester Records

Tracklist:

1 The Immaculate Conception
2 Move Ahead - Quickly
3 Mirabell
4 Down From The High Peak
5 Barren
6 The Woods
7 Farbror Melkers Bekymring
8 Himmelsangen
