Album Details: Although "BlackArts" is a formidable album as a debut it is really not. These collection of songs are and must not be forgotten. Most of the songs are included as bonus tracks on the first edition of "BlackArts". But the songs do stand strongly by themselves and the album is a potential licensed future release under Black Lodge/Soundpollution should the oportunity come along. I do unfortuanly not have the slightlest clue of when this might be. When the songs were first recorded Elvira Madigan was not an official band or project. I did at that time not know where I was heading and the songs were recorded as pure experiment. I put them all on a demo I named "Varsel" after one of the tracks but as Elvira Madigan progressed into an officially released project I didn't see a reason to confine the tracks only to a demo and therefor they are portrayed here as an "unreleased debut". The historical value was too great and the quality of the compositions as well. The extremely raw and cold production used on this album has since evolved immensly so the soundscape is confined only to this album. It did work extremely well on this particular set of songs, but the progress of the material since needed something else and thus the production has changed. The general sound and feel provided on this album far exceeded most other demo-tapes available on the market at that time with the same low funding. I remember participating on a sampler of an Italian magazine with the track "TuathaDeDanan" and when I got a copy of the CD I sat down to listen to the other tracks as well. When I came to my own song the production was so enormously different compared to the other contributions that I was completely caught off guard. But it suddenly occured to me how refreshing that was. It was like a breath of fresh air on an album with soundscapes - although well crafted and produced - that were all rather simular. This album is not available today.
