La Soñadora Insomne Another masterwork created by raison d'être. What I like the most about this album, and what distinguishes it from the early releases "Prospectus I", and "Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations" is the melancholic atmosphere that is highlighted by the omnipresent Gregorian chants in raison d'être's work, and the calm rhythm. Favorite track: The Well Of Sadness.

Laurent vandenSmilde As an "old" goth/wave person I only heard the band name Raison d'être. But not the music. Never heard the music in the 80's. Now this vinyl makes me curious, these 2 tracks sound lovely, specialy for the autumn and winter that is coming. I do hope it will be shipped in 2021 and not 2014, what the message in bandcamp said after purchasing it... :-) Favorite track: In Absence Of Light.

about

Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars stewn with bones and ashes. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn't produce mystical states outright. This defines the term hauntingly beautiful. 'In Sadness, Silence And Solitude', first released in 1997, is the fourth full-length album of raison d'être and is yet another astonishing dark ambient industrial masterpiece.

'In Sadness, Silence an Solitude' (expanded edition 2021) is an updated version of the long sold-out expanded edition from 2014. It contains the same tracks but with a fresh new K-14 level mastering presenting the highest possible sound quality.

Digital files are available in 24-bit quality.
