Win a duo ticket for the warm voice of Madrugada... Sivert Høyem! Live at De Casino, St Niklaas, B
The warm voice of Madrugada...
Sivert Høyem weaves with his dark, velvety voice, a musical web between pop and new wave, like no-one else. The distinguished Norwegian singer, who vocally led the great rock band Madrugada until 2007, will present his new solo album 'Lioness' (2016) at De Casino (St-Niklaas), an album which is packed with compelling guitar riffs, gripping percussion and delicate string arrangements that tend to arouse emotion, reflection and goosebumps. In other words, Høyem delivered, yet again, a penetrating musical gem!
Live the acclaimed vocalist navigates between his own solo work and the older Madrugada classics...

After the smashing success of 23d Underpass “Real Life” 2LP/2CD, “Faces” LP & Nao Katafuchi “Emergence” LP, NADANNA proudly presents its 4th release, Ultra Arcanum “The Silence Inside” LP/CD.
Ultra Arcanum was formed in November 2013 by Konstandinos Dorlis (keyboards) and Mark Thirkell (vocals). Proof that music transcends physical boundaries - Mark is from the UK and Konstandinos being from Greece, their debut LP “The Silence Inside” is a testament to their passion for stylish synth driven music underscored by shades of melancholia as well as moments of euphoria.
Heavily influenced by Duran Duran, Joy Division, John Foxx and Visage, Ultra Arcanum takes you back on a stroll down memory lane to revisit the golden era of the New Romantic Movement. Gems such as the title track “The Silence Inside”, Twilight Shades”, “Strange Kinda Love”, “Daydreamer” or “A Final Loss” will make you yearn for 80s music! The CD edition features a bonus track, “Dreamscape”, and 4 breathtaking remixes by the mega-talented 23rd Underpass, Techniques Berlin, Epic Dreams and The Silicon Scientist.
Tracklist:
1 Twilight Shades
2 The Silence Inside
3 Strange Kinda Love
4 Another Time, Another Place
5 Two Hours Before Neptune
6 A Final Loss
7 Daydreamer
8 Moment In Time
9 Epilogue
10 Photophobia
(CD bonus tracks)
11 Dreamscape
12 Twilight Shades (23rd Underpass Remix)

Aidan Baker (Nadja, Caudal, Hypnodrone Ensemble) and Tomas Järmyr (Zu, Barchan, Yodok, YODOK III) are both very active and prolific artists with a common vision on sound sculpting and free, musical improvisation.
It seems like a miracle they found the time to record together, but somehow they did. And, they made it count! The result of their recording sessions, “Werl”, is a trip that lasts longer than an hour and a half. This seems a bit much, but it truly isn’t. The album constantly evolves and grows and truly demands your attention. The album twists and turns from psychedelia, krautrock, space rock to ambient, noise and doom.
“Werl” is a unique and remarkable album and Consouling Sounds is tremendously honored to release this extraordinary album as a double CD set.
“Werl” was mastered by James Plotkin and the packaging comes with artwork by the Belgian artist Kato Six.
