Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Infinite Fog Prod. IF-97 Release Year: 2019 Note: the Russian label managed to do another re-issue of this timeless ambient album from 1996, luxurious digibook ed. - "Out of the churning wash of sound from their dynamic use of reverb, delay, and flange effects boxes, Maeror Tri push through honest to goodness songs of hypnotically repetitive guitar chords, melodies, and harmonies, making The Beauty Of Sadness come across like a rough-hewn but equally effective version of My Bloody Valentine's bleary eyed monotone found on Loveless" [Aquarius Rec.] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 More Info "IFP's next step in re-publishing albums by drone-ambient heroes Maeror Tri. Obviously it would be redundant to introduce this legendary trio to you yet again. Over the seven years of its existence, they have recorded genre-defining material that has lost none of its relevance even after more than a quarter of a century. We are pleased to announce "The Beauty of Sadness" - one of the band's most striking albums. An emotional, melancholy, sentimental, melodic drone ambient album, which can be considered a classic of the genre on a par with "Myein". You will search in vain for industrial or noise elements, as featured on the group's more heavy releases, herein the eponymous beauty and sadness reign supreme. This release comes highly recommended for any listener with only a passing interest in Drone-music, be it guitar- and electronic-based Recorded between October 91 and September 93, "The Beauty of Sadness" became the 11th full-length Maeror Tri tape, which was released in 1996 shortly before their breakup on the very peak of the group's strength. The bonus track "Immersion in Emotion" was recorded around the same sessions as the album itself in October 1993, and first appeared on the video collection "From the Hills of Dream". 15 years have passed since the only CD reissue of the album on the Tantric Harmonies label, during which time the album has become a rarity, completely absent from the market, and one of the group's most sought-after albums. Our new version of "The Beauty of Sadness" has been fully remastered in 2019 by Peter Andersson (raison d'etre) resulting in a literally shockingly improved sound experience, the erroneously added silent tracks from its earlier CD incarnation have been deleted and the overall previously ubiquitous surface noise removed. The design has again been created especially for the album by the artist and designer from St. Petersburg Anton Bogdanov, the winner of the Hermitage competition, who previously worked on the reprints of "Mind Reversal", "Peak Experience", "Venenum". In IFP series of Maeror Tr Delux reissues were published: "Mind Reversal" - Digibook CD (2011) - sold out "Peak Experience" - Digibook CD (2013) - last copies in stock "Myein" - Digibook CD (2016) - in stock "Venenum" - Digibook CD/DVD - in stock https://infinitefog.bandcamp.com/album/the-beauty-of-sadness “During the past couple of weeks, there has been a deluge of reissued material from the German ensemble Maeror Tri, whose exceptional, post-Industrial dronemusik straddles the current obsession with the doom-laden atmospherics of Corrupted, SUNN O))), Earth, etc. and the sublime impressionism of Jonathan Coleclough and Mirror. The Beauty Of Sadness was one of the last cassettes that Maeror Tri released before calling it quits in 1996; and as one might be able to discern from the title, this record finds Maeror Tri shifting their drones away from their heavy, menacing bleakness and toward a transcendent etherealism. Out of the churning wash of sound from their dynamic use of reverb, delay, and flange effects boxes, Maeror Tri push through honest to goodness songs of hypnotically repetitive guitar chords, melodies, and harmonies, making The Beauty Of Sadness come across like a rough-hewn but equally effective version of My Bloody Valentine's bleary eyed monotone found on Loveless. For those familiar with the recent work of Troum (whose members were two-thirds of Maeror Tri), The Beauty Of Sadness is an obvious precursor to thier marvellous first chapter in the Tjukurrpa trilogy....” [Aquarius Records review for the first re-issue on Tantric Harm.]
