about

A sincerely dark & brooding remix of one of the biggest tracks in the circus catalog, released here for the first time for Halloween and the Equinox
Think Mr. Bungle & Scott Walker in a weird booties void sized blender and you're halfway there! Simon did a stunning job on this, stripping aside the murky reverbs of the final mix,building atomosphere with the orchestral elements as it unfolds, with some surprising and inspired treatements to the drums, bass and vocals!

lyrics

In fire brimstone
Orb jewelled too soon
Alchemy woven within fires
Embers bestow
~~
With the closing of the summer
Had the wind taken out of your sails
By a cold dark exterior
What remains is inferior
~~
Flight of fancy unknown
Orb jewelled too soon
See it scurry as a scarab
A season dissolved
~~
With the cracking of the thermals
Jagged wind taken out of your sails
By a cold dark exterior
What remains is inferior
~~
They say what does
It mean to you?
It's cracked and descending above it looms

It's somewhere between Björk's industrial-est stuff, and Tori Amos's late 90s downtempo-ness, with an unhealthy dose of ambient folk and fantastic lyrics. More please! antlermagick
