DANCE MUSIC AUTHORITY - DEC/JAN 03
MORTAL LOOM
Addicted to the Tragedy
13 tracks of electronic, trance music is in this package lasting 73 minutes. This music is best described as a musical array
of sounds and rhythms that will give you a groove and move. It's almost magical listing to this music and makes my reminisce to the days of Herbie Handcock's THRUST album in the early 80s. Lyrics and music are by
Mortal Loom and features 80s faves Chris & Cosey. Addicted To The Tragedy is a delightful journey that everyone should take at least for the experience.

MORTAL LOOM
Addicted to the Tragedy
(Delvian)
Part electronic, part acoustic, and all moody-groove, the soundscapes on the latest Mortal Loom album are miniature movies that play inside your head. The anonymous clan
of alchemists and musicians called Mortal Loom have shaped another masterpiece of sonic blending. They are influenced by, but not limited to, the genres of trance, new age, goth, ambient, and electronica. In
addition, they are happy to mix in some Latin rhythms and Middle Eastern textures, as well as contributions from Chris & Cosey (who helped found the whole category of industrial-trance music). This is a
wonderful brew that is gaining global acceptance as well as climbing the U.S. college radio charts.

MORTAL LOOM
Alchemy Through Dreams
(Delvian)
Ethereal,
dream-like, and spacey sounds predominate on this underground hit. Thousands of copies are being sold through small retailers, bookstores, and other alternative locations. This is living proof that a quality album
can achieve indie success without playing the radio payola game or buying shelf space at Tower Records.
