First album released in 1990 by italian-french Dark Neofolk duo Ordo Equitum Solis, in this case called "Ordo Eqvitvm Solis" in roman script.
Tracklist:
00:00 Angoris Nox
10:29 Labyrinth
13:24 Obsessions
18:10 Le Crépuscule De La Vie
23:53 De Fortuna
28:05 Ope Earth
30:06 Father Of Incantation
34:33 Truth
38:04 This Is The Way
43:28 Solem Expectans
47:48 Utopia
50:03 Novus Dies
52:23 Angoris Nox (Obscure Version, Autumn Equinox 1992) [Bonus Track]
Ordo Equitum Solis consisting of singer Nathalie Herrera and guitarist Paolo De Marco specialized in solemn and melancholic Folk ballads reminiscent of medieval music, both troubadour songs and Gregorian chants.
Inevitably, "Solstitii Temporis Sensus" (Musica Maxima Magnetica, 1990) and "Animi Aegritudo" (1991) sounded derivative of Sol Invictus and Dead Can Dance.
The EP "OE" (1993) and the live "Paraskenia" (1994) simply recycled those same ideas, but "Hecate" (1995) and Planetes (1999) showed a growing mastery in producing the sound of their acoustic songs.
After the EP "Signs" (Sinope, 1999) and the double-disc anthology "Octo" (1999), a new studio album, "Metamorphosis" (2000), experimented with a more varied format.
Following declining sales and some difficulties, the band disbanded in 2001.
The duo reformed in 2011, subsequently releasing "Killing Time Killing Love" (Cynfeirdd, 2013).
Lineup:
Leithana: vocals, keyboards, piano, percussion, zither
Deraclamo: guitars, vocals, percussion
Other credits:
Luciano Dari: executive producer.
Recorded by Colin Potter.

![Skeletal Family 1984 Recollect [Mini LP]
12 Mini-Album released in 1984 under Red Rhino Records by legendary english Post-Punk/Goth band Skeletal Family fronted by Anne-Marie Hurst.
Tracklist:
00:00 Waiting Here
03:52 The Wind Blows
08:07 Lies
11:43 She Cries Alone
17:01 The Night
20:35 Eternal
Recollect is a concise but essential Mini-Album from Skeletal Family, capturing the band’s early Gothic Rock identity at its most raw and atmospheric. Acting partly as a bridge between singles and their debut Burning Oil, the EP gathers some of their strongest pre-album material, blending icy guitars, driving post-punk rhythms, and Anne-Marie Hurst’s striking, expressive vocals. Tracks like “She Cries Alone” and “The Night” highlight the band’s ability to balance melodic urgency with a darker, more brooding mood. While not as cohesive as a Full-Length statement, Recollect works as a compelling snapshot of a formative period for one of the UK’s key early goth acts.
Lineup:
Anne-Marie: vocals
Stan: guitars
Trotwood: bass
Martin: drums
All tracks recorded and mixed at Ric-Rac, Leeds
Lies (original demo) recorded 12-09-82.
Waiting Here / The Night (different versions) recorded 16-05-83.

43:00 Runout Groove [Hidden Track]
This is the first Positive Punk/Goth/Darkwave studio album to be released in Japan.
Produced by Auto-Mod frontman Genet together with the band, the album was quite elaborate for an Indie recording at the time, making it a very rewarding listen.
This is really a buried masterpiece.
Of course, you can hear the influence of Bauhaus and other british bands of the time, it should be ranked alongside Christian Deaths early works Only Theatre Of Pain and Deathwish. The band often played with Hardcore Punk bands such as Gauze at the time, and had a strong Punk-Rock flavour, other than Christian Death, other bands from Orange County, California, from the same era, for example, T.S.O.L. and Social Distortions respective first Full-Lengths.
This album also shows the connection with Dance With Me and Mommys Little Monster, the first Full-Length of T.S.O.L. and Social Distortion respectively.
Lineup:
Zin-François-Angeliqué: vocals
Rei: guitars
Fque Dann: bass
Cezarre For...: drums, backing vocals
Other credits:
Emmy: performer (other Instruments)
Hironori Hoki: engineering
Produced by Genet & Madame Edwarda.
