I love the stripped down sad bare bones approach of this version. Full of sadness and pain. Anna never fails to create the most beautiful and tragic musical journeys into gloom.

With the single 'IMHOTEP' (originally a special bonustrack only available for fans) SOPOR AETERNUS & The Ensemble Of Shadows are attending to a chapter from their 2004 album 'La Chambre d'Echo' and use this radical revision to transform an almost entirely electronic song into a dramatic, chamber-music danse macabre.
Reduced to the bare bones, only accompanied by percussion, a death-bell and two string-players, the fabulously eerie Saint-Varney-of-the-Dead is singing a sad lament of suffering and pain, and demonstrates once again that Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows are still entirely beyond comparison."

God Body Disconnect has a distinct, easily recognizable style, but each album has its own flavor. To me, The Mist Between Mirrors feels "spectral", not as heavy or warm as other GBD records. That said, it quickly became an old friend for me, and while its subject matter is harrowing, its overall effect is comforting. I've gone back to this one often, and each time the experience is profound. fyeahmetal
