ABOUT THIS ITEM

The successful 3rd output of groundbreaking collective THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE from 2009 finally repressed on Vinyl with a new extensive packaging and equipped wih several bonus tracks. Here Be Dragons’ is a musical journey into unchartered territories. A medieval phrase denoting dangerous and unexplored areas on maps, mostly depicted by a sea serpent or mythological creature, the title summarizes a two year period spent on the album and the paths taken and not taken to get to the final result. Here Be Dragons’ is a further study to perfect the symbiosis of mechanical and organic sounds, a recurring theme in TKDEs musical philosophy. Blending traditional instruments with modern electronica to create distinguishable yet familiar sounds. As visual inspiration is as important, if not more important, to our way of composing. Creating our own journey into dark exotica and misty abstract landscapes warped somewhere in between worlds passed and worlds to come. The vocal journey is one of loss and despair. Losing what is close to you, its realisation, and dealing with the pain that follows.
