Seven Sorrows by Desiderii Marginis

'This is a multifaceted and very personal release, its quiet melancholy settling itself gently and effortlessly upon the soul, like the dust of spirits whose remembrance is unintentionally renewed. Like stepping into an old attic on a summer night and going through the things of inhabitants long gone, a chill wind coming in from the open window, the only light available, the stars on a black sky. Unwavering, remote, dispassionate and cold, but somehow soothing and familiar, the ancient destination at the end of the journey, or rather, the return home.'

- Heathen Harvest

Of the Swedish wave of ambient acts from the 1990's, Johan Levin, the mastermind behind Desiderii Marginis, has created and developed his own unique sonic palette merging digital and analogue: melancholic electronica with electroacoustic elements and intravenous rhythms. From early on his music met with positive reactions resulting in albums on legendary Cold Meat Industry label, and Cyclic Law.
