Carnival
of Lost SoulsNox Arcana
First Time Was The Charmer,
This was my first time (it’s been a long, long time since I said
that!) to explore this "spooky" genre in music, as well as the first
exposure to Nox Arcana--and, my, what a darkly seductive experience it was. I'm
not quite sure what I expected. Something "Gothic" for sure--but
would it be art?
It WAS art, art-full, deeply mesmerizing & very entertaining.
AND "Carnival" is technically brilliant.
One of the things I missed when CDs replaced LPs was the creativity that went
into the record jackets. Most pop CDs these days offer very little for the
eye--but this is not the case in Carnival of Lost Souls. A beautiful little
booklet is enclosed loaded with wonderful drawings & other illustrations,
as well as a Goth libretto of sorts & many other strange & curious
& wonder-full things.
Obviously Nox Arcana knows how to make the Dark Side fun.
