About this album

  • Updated: 17/09/2008

Since 2002 Spinefish, an indie gothic band from Russia, has developed its specific style and sound with abundant keys, versatile guitars and distinguished female vocals. Therefore, it was decided to rerecord some good old stuff as well as the new one in order to create a kind of the band’s renovated anthology. So after 5 years of research and experimentation Fool’s Paradise Revisited eventually saw the light marking an important step in the band’s biography. The album consists of 13 remarkable pieces of 2003-2007.

Oui c'est bien ça: un papillon que j'ai envie d'envoyer dans les airs de jamendo, étonnant qu'il n'ait pas encore décollé, alors, je souffle histoire d'aider à l'envoi... Ce groupe mérite vraiment d'être découvert: tant d'harmonie, de souffle :les choeurs sont magnifiques, la voix de la chanteuse est si belle. Alors tant pis si l'économie s'effondre, il reste cette magie de la musique et des voix... Ce groupe russe est vraiment BON! Les vocales et les batteries me subjuguent (6ème morceau) 9ème morceau: le piano accompagne les voix, le violon aussi, c'est superbe 10ème morceau : envol de l'esprit" pas de doute, ça vole et envole. Dernier morceau; grave, sensuel et puissant, mélodies et musicalité de très haut niveau! Please listen them!!!

Dark yet beautiful, this is an album that defies categorisation, can't pigeonhole this into any genre, just haunting, beautiful unique music. Lots of ambient moments, bits of rock albeit very soft, perhaps shades of Enya in places even, it takes you on a long voyage from start to finish, going to many different places along the way. It's quite soothing but at the same time has a dark tinge that never allows you complete comfort which only adds to the experience. A top album, hearing bands like Spinefish that you'd never hear through any commercial outlet is what makes Jamendo worthwhile.

This is just soooo touching and beautiful work! A true fusion of so many different genres, and so very well performed! Well, except maybe for the "Aeons" track, which seemed a little repetitive and unbalanced to me, but anyway - it's quite a chaotic and disturbing song, so it's probably intended to sound that way... Other than that, this is a solid and well performed record. I've heard Spinefish before on Colours of Black V2 (a Russian dark-scene compilation CD) and it's very nice to see the band's style evolve in its own way :) Thanks and kudos to you, guys, for sharing this (indeed) amazing release with the world! Cheers,

Ja, das ist ein Fundstück! Ich hätte es bei darkwave gesucht, es hat aber kein solchen tag. Die Mischung aus sehr melodischen harmonische Flächen und dem dunklen Rock gefällt mir sehr. Elektronik auf wunderbar dunkle Art mit Rock verbunden. Die Stimme der Sängerin passt perfekt dazu. Die Sprechpassagen geben ein gewisses Anne Clark Feeling. Mich erinnert die Band an "Fading Colours". Bei Aeons sind dann sogar world ambient Einflüsse zu hören, die an Dead Can Dance erinnern. to the artist: found the band by an interesting "similar artist" advise from lastfm :-)

MUY BUENO

Profundo, muy buena voz aunque en algunos momentos se disipa y pasa al susurro. Muy trabajado de principio a fin. No lo indentifico como gothic metal...solamente, pero hoy en día se fusiona tanto que casi no se como clasificarlo. Lo que me parece es que hay formación clásica detrás....

Je trouve la musique trop lisse. C'est simple, pas de contraste, tout est régulier, très mou. J'ai pourtant écouté tout l'album, mais je trouve que ça manque sérieusement de relief.

A fantastic,dreamy, touching and very artistic, album this is, feel the fantastic, vocals, and good solid lyrics, let alone music, carry you along and take you deep into the music, a very interesting, atmospheric, beautiful, indie, gothic, metal album,with a bunch of females for a change. Very professional sounding and artistic as well. Never a dull moment from start to finish.

It's one of my favourite albums on Jamendo. Actually I like it more than "Vortex" (another album of this band), maybe because of female vocals. Also the melancholic lyrics and melodies were interesting for me.
