Several tracks from the new Helium Vola album - the latter is to be released in the beginning of 2009 - will feature Benko as guest vocalist. This is the second collaboration between Ernst Horn (founder of Helium Vola, Qntal and Deine Lakaien) and Benko. Their first joint effort, a haunting piece entitled Cliffs of Norway, was released on the Subout compilation in 2000. More information coming soon.

Don't miss it!! Stay on-line tomorrow midnight!!

On September 1st, the Pekinpah Association will release the new Silence album, The Passion of the Cold, a 2CD collection featuring 30 tracks from (or inspired by) Tomaz Pandur's latest plays, Barroco and Kaligula. The album, printed as a hard-covered 32-page book, will feature a selection of Silence's most ambitious works to date - orchestral pieces performed by the Orquesta Escuela de la Sinfónica de Madrid (The Young Symphonic Orchestra of Madrid) and choral works performed by the Cantanti Trasfigurati choir - as well as lyrics, photos, and two essays. The album will also feature performances by four remarkable soloists (Dragos Balan, Riccardo Bini, Margarita Sikoeva, and Igor Vicentic), 7 songs performed by Benko (3 of which are in Italian) and 4 electronic adaptations of the main themes. The Passion of the Cold will be available exclusively online. A mini site with detailed information is to be launched soon.
