    Midwinter: In these northern climes midwinter is a time of Inversion and strange magic. It is a time of opposites and anarchies, bright fires and feasts in the darkness and cold. A time of fortunes won and lost, visions seen, prophecies made and battles between elemental forces waged. Day turns to night and The Holly and Oak Kings, once again trade places . Spectral beings prowl the land and the Fool is made King. Midwinter, is the time of the Lord of Misrule, and the Wild Hunt. Some might think these as rude, Rough and Rusty relics of a former age.If they come, they come not: If they come not, they come.
    With elements of Being & Doing 1985 by Stuart brisley and Ken McMullen and original material by Jon Colyer

  • New release on the Spirit of Gravity BandCamp label: McCloud – Spherical Dancehall

    A new release from Spirit of Gravity is out now – Spherical Dancefloor by McCloud.
    McCloud – otherwise Geoff Cheesemaster – presents a three-track mini-album of intense and introspective minimalism. Partly recorded live, it packs a scratchy rhythmic punch.
    It all started when he bought a drum machine. “Two years on, the sounds I had inside finally came out of my mind, down through my arms and into my kit” he says, “I’ve been performing these two pieces for the last few shows and enjoying them very much. Each one is different.”

    The album can be downloaded or streamed here: spiritofgravity.bandcamp.com/album/spherical-dancehall
