Was Ist Das? Got sent a pre-release CD to review back in 2000 that went to the twilight zone when I emigrated. So relieved this is on Bandcamp. The ultimate nocturnal album. Perfect and spellbinding. I don't care if my CD does turn up because now I have this with me everywhere I go. Its an album that deserves obsession. Favorite track: Sweet Kind of Suffering.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Our first album together and still one of the best, this was recorded in 2000, in a squatted school in Tottenham, London, which features on the cover. The image features an abandoned grand piano which was eventually rebuilt, but only after we played around with its insides a bit first. Includes deconstructed versions of songs by Tom Waits and Angelo Badalamenti. Beautiful analogue photos taken and printed by Arabella Anderson.

Sorcery 05:29
Desire is a little tease, drink it long and deep, it's sorcery And your breath's hanging in the air as the rain breaks over you It has the rhythm of fingertips and it drips From your lashes like tears It's sorcery.

Summer left like an old friend, lost when the clocks changed, only dark days drawing in now. Springtime, trapped in her slumbers, paralysed in her chrysalis, why don't the seasons change any more? Here, where my breath hangs in the air and the sun is always low, winter clings on to me, winter gripping onto me now. Frozen, frozen in sleep, till you hold me close again and the sun filters through.

Blue Rose 04:57
Nights I dream of you, you're bathed in blue, captured like a frozen flame. Climb in, unburden me, my heart gets heavy through and through. Blue rose. Mosquitoes sing like poison darts, their voices piercing through the dark, Soothe me and silence them and wrap your wisdom round my head. Blue rose.

We Spin 04:43
In the darkness we are equal and our fingers have lives of their own, We don't lie Nothing moves forward, nothing moves back - it spins. In the twilight the world gets wider and our fingers reach deeper and higher We don't die - we spin.

Seems like some of us are born running There's always something glowing in the distance Wish I could stop and grind to a standstill Wish I could stop, wish I could stay at the foot of the hill But the answers always smile from a distance Time and again, glowing in the distance. Are our best years just spent wishing? Time and again, time and again, Lord, please don't say that. You open the doors, they spring back in your face You clamber the stairs, but you're sliding, sliding back down Are our best years just spent wishing? Lord, don't say that.
