The RAIJ sound is less severe and industrial than some of their earlier material, and it picks up on their more static, sleepy side, mixing (apocalyptic) folk and sacred music, electronics, field recordings, film samples and urgent, almost ethnic rhythms. This results in a challenging journey but one with sublime expressive power. There can be no doubt that it’s been worth the long wait: IF BEAUTY REALLY WILL SAVE THE WORLD, THIS ALBUM COULD MAKE A KEY CONTRIBUTION.

The trio of Paul Boyce, Jon Egan and Les Hampson hardly give any interviews and rarely appear on stage. Even on the internet, apart from a Facebook page, they don’t have much of a presence. Since they formed in the mid- eighties they’ve released only two albums ("The Gift of Tears", 1987 and "Mirror" 1991). So The Revolutionary Army Of Infant Jesus, whose name is taken from a Luis Buñuel film,continue to behave in their usual mystical manner on their third official oeuvre. The multilayered songs that mix up many different styles and forms (spoken word, world music, soundtrack, folk, industrial, experimental, African rhythms), are full of atmosphere and integrate their diverse references. In "Bright Field" a recording of a critique of a poem by R.S. Thomas is woven into the track. "Repentance-Sama" contains an extract from the 1967 documentary "The Holy Ghost People" and the title of the album " Beauty Will Save The World" is taken from Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. Song titles like "Song of the Soul" and "All is Grace" are full of atmosphere, mystery and a separate (distinct) beauty. RAIJ let listeners decide for themselves and make their own minds up. ************************** Post Industry (Poland), review: http://postindustry.org/archive.php?id=3403 Rough translation: “For years more was said than was known about The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus, a mysterious ('obscure’), group about which little is known. Anyone persisting with their research on search engines might unearth the names of the band leaders, and perhaps even find one or two interviews dating back more than two decades, but although the results may be meagre, the music speak for itself. RAIJ have never gained the fame and ‘market’ share of Current 93, Dead Can Dance, Legendary Pink Dots, and yet there are comparisons with those groups. On the one hand the RAIJ had quite a cult status, but on the other they remained somewhat on the sidelines, in the shade, known to those who were able to dig below the surface or were simply lucky enough to come across this treasure by accident. Naturally, all this was the result of a specific RAIJ policy. The group did not blow their own trumpet or engage in the cult of artistic personality or scandal. They were totally silent for two decades and seemed to be consigned to their status as treasure buried deep below layers of information traffic, making a mockery of postmodernity. But the Army returned - first through the rerelease of old material (entitled 'After The End’ and released in 2013), followed by a brand new album, this year's "Beauty Will Save the World '. With its title taken from Dostoevsky and the face of Simone Weil (God forbid not to be confused with a feminist Simone Veil) on the cover, inside there are nine compositions reminiscent of 'the good old days' when RAIJ induced reverie and tears in the eyes with compositions such as ’Nostalgia' and 'Tales from Europe'. What we have here is a total musical work of art - not in the sense of a synthesis of all the arts, because we have only music, but in the sense of connecting various kinds together in a truly subtle, sophisticated way a long way from the miasma of 'deconstruction' or cheap provocation. It is not sacred (if you understand this concept in the same way as F. Schuon and J. Hani), or strictly religious (the two concepts are not the same) - or to put it more accurately - ‘evangelical' music. But this is music in which the sacred is treated seriously, not as an excuse for intellectual games with a world in which "everyone can anyone ask the question". So how do we sum it up technically? Well, as they did a quarter of a century ago, RAIJ offer a peculiar combination of... what exactly? Yes, you can throw a few easy labels at them: dark ambient, neofolk, gothic rock, classical music, Gregorian chant and music of the Orthodox Church, perhaps a distant echo of jazz (in its more melancholy forms) and hints of a post-industrial-non-experimental kind. And the often recurring, repeating, monotonous rhythmic ritualised structure. There is more to them than that, though. Beside these similarities species are largely thing about the case or associations of listeners, rather than the musicians’ intentions. In other words, RAIJ should not be considered as part of any ambient or industrial 'scene', working in their own specific way. Dark ambient does not have a monopoly on dark, spatial sound effects or neofolk on the theme of acoustic ballads with a folky flavour. What more can I say? It's hard to find a simple description that does not impoverish the whole. RAIJ’s strength lies not so much in novelty or perfect implementation (though this music is inventive and well-played), but rather in a kind of sincerity and authenticity in the philosophy that lies behind the outer, purely compositional layer. It's a bit like Lonsai Maikov, so there is an effect achieved over the years, generally using very modest, sometimes even naive instruments played with simple arrangements. RAIJ undoubtedly have a far richer arsenal. They all play their parts - including samples (chanting, recitations, etc.) and the band name itself: perhaps a little ironic and provocative, but, paradoxically, by the fact that it has been used in a more serious way than it might seem at first glance" ************************** Radio New Zealand (NZ), airplay: http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/201778269/ marty-duda's-artist-of-the-week ************************** L’attimo fuggente (Italy), airplay: http://attimofuggenterca.podomatic.com/entry/2015-11-10T04_31_41-08_00 ************************** Pop Lib (NZ): https://poplibnz.wordpress.com/2015/11/06/apres-le-temps-by-revolutionary- army-of-the-infant-jesus/ ************************** De Subjectivisten (Netherlands), airplay: http://subjectivisten.nl/?p=4162 ************************** L’attimo fuggente (Italy), airplay: http://attimofuggenterca.podomatic.com/entry/2015-10-27T02_50_17-07_00 http://www.indieforbunnies.com/2015/10/29/lattimo-fuggente-26-ottobre- 2015/ ************************** Opus FM (USA): http://opus.fm/posts/raij-beauty-is-finally-here-to-save-the-world ************************** De Subjectivisten (Netherlands), review: http://subjectivisten.nl/?p=4082 Original Dutch Rough English translation Well i really didn’t see it coming, a new C D by Revolutionary Army Of The Infant Jesus.

  • Arhai's Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British
    Ivana Medić Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica... DOI: 10.2298/MUZ1416105M UDK: 78.031.4 78.071.1:929 Бацковић Ј. Arhai’s Balkan Folktronica: Serbian Ethno Music Reimagined for British Market* Ivana Medić1 Institute of Musicology SASA (Belgrade) Abstract This article focuses on Serbian composer Jovana Backović and her band/project Arhai, founded in Belgrade in 1998. The central argument is that Arhai made a transition from being regarded a part of the Serbian ethno music scene (which flourished during the 1990s and 2000s) to becoming a part of the global world music scene, after Jovana Backović moved from her native Serbia to the United Kingdom to pursue an international career. This move did not imply a fundamental change of her musical style, but a change of cultural context and market conditions that, in turn, affected her cultural identity. Keywords Arhai, Jovana Backović, world music, ethno, Balkan Folktronica Although Serbian composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jovana Backović is only 34 years old, the band Arhai can already be considered her lifetime project. The Greek word ‘Arhai’ meaning ‘beginning’ or ‘ancient’ it is aptly chosen to summarise Backović’s artistic mission: rethinking tradition in contemporary context. Нer interest in traditional music was sparked by her father, himself a professional musician and performer of both traditional and popular folk music (Medić 2013). Backović founded Arhai in Belgrade in 1998, while still a pupil at music school Slavenski, and continued to perform with the band while receiving instruction in classical composition and orchestration at the Belgrade Faculty of Music. In its first, Belgrade ‘incarnation’, Arhai was a ten-piece band that developed a fusion of traditional music from the Balkans with am bient sounds and jazz-influenced improvisation, using both acoustic and electric instruments and a quartet of fe male vocalists.

  • Quotations of the Middle Ages in the Music of the 'Gothic' Movement. an Analytical Survey
    163 Quotations of the Middle Ages in the music of the ‘Gothic’ movement. An analytical survey Dra. Elena Previdi University of Pavia Abstract The article deals with bands making the “Ethereal” type of music and their use of quotations of the Middle Ages. The first example is the track Il bagatto(2000) by Ataraxia. The primary source for Atarax- ia’s music is a French dance published in 1530 which, in turn, reveals harmonic connections with an Italian one published in 1578. The two ancient dances, French and Italian, seem to have been conceived as separate developments from a common archaic tune. The Italian one was used in the Seventies by Angelo Branduardi, who added a text taken from the famous fresco of Pinzolo portraying the “danse macabre” (1539). Considering that the lyrics of Ataraxia’s Il bagatto show strong connections with Branduardi’s ones, we could say that the general network of ancient-modern references reveals its intrigu- ing circular shape. The second example is the Troubadour song Reis glorios (12th centu- ry), put into music by Ordo Equitum Solis (1992) and Estampie (2000). Ordo Equitum Solis’ version shows characteristics that are typical of the philological ensembles: among the others, the efforts to follow the inner rhythm of the words and the renounce to any chordal sup- port. Estampie’s version, on the contrary, aims to change the ancient tune into a sort of “pop song”, in the attempt to trap the text into a constant rhythm and to put it into a precise harmonic structure. To end, the common background of these bands shows how this kind of quotations can be traced back to the period following the produc- tion of Dead Can Dance in the years 1987-1990.

Lucy Winnington’s essay discusses the ‘haunted land’ in the photography of New Zealand, marking the journal’s first submission on NZ Gothic. Laurie Ringer’s article “With Teeth” takes a Deleuzian reading of A L Kennedy alongside paintings of the martyred St. Apollonia. Debra Van Tuyll and Carl Purdy’s piece (our first collaborative essay here at Dark Arts) looks for the uncanny in Irish folk music. Finally, Will Connor explores experimental Gothic music and performance. As always, this issue couldn’t have happened without the help of our reviewers and advisors, who give the journal the ‘bite’ of rigorous scholarship.

  • The New Soul of an Old Machine | 80S Essentials, Industrial Revolution
    80s Essentials, Industrial Revolution [Because the decade was a formative time for so much more than just our beloved heavy metal, today we're pleased to present you with a look at fifteen essential industrial albums from the 1980s.] I’m neither historian nor sociologist enough to speak to the politico- economic milieu that shaped industrial music’s formative clatterings, but a few general observations may suffice. The advanced industrial world was hardly being ground in the same way as by the ravenous gears of the late- eighteenth/early-nineteenth century Industrial Revolution (cf. Friedrich Engels on The Condition of the Working Class in England), but the 1970s and ‘80s saw an increasingly aggressive attack on the social welfare state that had so flourished in the three or four decades since the end of World War II. The elections of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Helmut Kohl (in Britain, the U.S., and West Germany, respectively) ushered in an era of neoliberal government retrenchment that would largely define the domestic political debate in the years to follow, while throwing the (often uneasy) balance between capital and labor into disrepair throughout the rich world. Reagan’s tough-talking rhetoric meant that many of the signs of rapprochement and detente that had offered brief glimmers of, if not hope, then perhaps bleakly muted optimism in the 1970s gave way to a renewed era of Cold War stridency and military hand-wringing. In many ways, then, the same social, political, economic, and cultural context that led to the development of punk’s disaffected worldview and heavy metal’s increasingly doom-saying weightiness would also provide grist for the eternally wending mill of nascent musical experimentalism that gradually coalesced into industrial music.
