'Ancient Lights And The Blackcore' is actually the title of another Sub
Rosa compilation. It's a weird mix of stuff:
Track listing:
1. Scorn - Naked Sun (11:12)
2. Seefeel - As If (6:10)
3. Seefeel - As Track (4:18)
4. Seefeel - As Well (1:34)
5. Yanomami Shamanising - Group Healing (rec by David Toop, Amazon
rainforest 1978) (8:20)
6. Timothy Leary/DJ Cheb I Sabbah - Why Are You Here? (15:06)
The CD is subtitled 'Electric Dreams: Shamanism, Music & Intoxication',
which explains everything, doesn't it?
Sub Rosa have been going for some years now in quite a low-key way, but
they're well worth investigating if you're into the
Touch/Staalplaat/austere Electronica/experimental sampling end of things.
Increasingly they've been dovetailing more with idm-type stuff, especially
with their Gilles Deleuze tribute, 'Folds & Rhizomes' (conceived before the
philosopher's death, apparently), and Scanner's 'Sulphur', a live album
(very quietly mastered, unfortunately) recorded in 1995 at London's South
Bank Centre.
They've now got proper press and distribution in the UK at last, and
there's going to be a Sub Rosa live night in London on Sunday 12 May, with
Scanner, Main, and American sampling dude David Shea (whose 'Tower Of
Mirrors' CD SR94 is also well worth investigating).

I met the two guys who run the label recently and they didn't think anyone
else in Belgium knew about them!
