Heart Of The Sun: CD

Mercy Oceans Remixed with remixes by Cosey Fanni Tutti, Chris Carter, Andrew WK, Stephen O'Malley and many others. 'Heart of the Sun' CD comes in a jewel case with 8 page matt paper booklet. Full liner notes. Artwork by Beth Carter. Photography by Yolanda Reeves. While the sound is similar to the music of folks like Fursaxa, Grouper and Christina Carter, there is much more immediacy, focus and a connection to folk history in the songs of Pantaleimon. While less hazy then some of her peers there is a seemingly sonic mist hanging over her songs which stops you in your tracks. There is also a rustic quality in these stripped down songs that makes us think of Bridget St. John and Hala Strana recording a record together. Plenty of folks help out by adding sounds and ambience but all do so with much subtly and respect. Who knew Andrew W.K. could be so subtle, his tasteful keyboards are heard on the record’s opener, and the list of other contributors/remixers reads like a who’s who of the musical underground (Colin Potter, Andrew Lilies, Stephen O’Malley, Fovea Hex, Lilium, etc). Heart Of The Sun is becoming the record we listen to both early in the morning and then late at night as we surrender to sleep. So beautiful!”- AQUARIUS RECORDS, USA credits released August 25, 2008
