A complete discography is:

- Galax Trax - 12" EP - Elefant Records
- Delay Tambor - CD - Elefant Records
Elefant is a Spanish label.
"En Cielo de Oceano" is more indie - rather Cocteau Twins / Slowdive-like.
Quite poppy in a way. It has a strange baroque feel to it. I always somehow
get the impression of a chamber orchestra in a 18th century Spanish palace!
"Paisaje III" moves on into 5-EP Slowdive / Seefeel / EoST territory. More
"techno" in style but retaining a shoegazy guitar feel and that baroque feel.
Probably the best place for starters.
The Avolovara 7" is a re-working of a song from Paisaje III (I don't know who
by) and an exclusive track. An NME review said something about the sound of
icicles or something like that. Clear vinyl.
The "Galax Trax" 12" contains remixes by Vanguard, Prozack, Locust & Silvania
thmselves.
"Delay Tambor" is a whole CD of remixes by Scorn, Seefeel, Locust, Scanner and
Autechre. Also contains 3 Silvania originals. The tracks are:
01: Eesal
02: Ov : Locust mx
03: Ry I : Scorn mx
04: 3lc : Seefeel mx
05: ArAng : Scanner mx
06: Bengala
07: LBelm : Autechre mx
08: Arqueopteryx
Most of the songs are from "En Cielo de Oceano" (Ov = Oval, 3lc = Trilce,
ArAng = Arcangel, LBelm = Un bosque en la memoria) with one from "Paisaje III"
(Ry I = Raymi I). The others are the new Silvania songs.
The cover versions are supposed to be radically different versions than they
appeared on the original discs.
Silvania records tend to be notoriously difficult to find. Your best bet is
probably Claire de Leon! (
http://grove.ufl.edu/~eleven/) in the US or maybe
Parasol.
With apologies to the people whose messages I cobbled together for the basis
of this one.
