Threshold Livedelica

This is the second CD by Dweller At The Threshold. It has been two years in the making but the results couldn’t be better. Eurock, the record label, call this "progressive electronica", a good definition for this work. The CD have three main themes (Generation, Transmission, and Illumination). Each one has several parts but the mood is very similar: powerful electronic sequences, sonic landscapes and dark passages. You can see the influences of the early Tangerine Dream, but DATT has its own sound palette and personality.

Darker, heavier and even more adventurous than its predecessor, Dividing Lines reveals a band with a lot on their collective mind, while also boasting some of the most wildly inventive and melodically potent material they have ever recorded.
Dividing Lines is an album of shadows and light, of despair and hope; the human experience, rendered in dazzling, widescreen colours and performed with all the intensity and passion that has typified Threshold’s more than three decades of active service. The UK’s kings of prog metal are back, and ready to conquer the world all over again.
Formed in leafy Surrey in the late '80s, Threshold truly blossomed in the following decade, and swiftly established themselves as the UK’s chief progressive metal standard bearers…

Fans of vintage electronic music might know the mature skills and music of the musicians involved in this recording. Well, they won’t be disappointed with this excellent bunch of sounds derived from vintage keys and sequencers. The CD nicely kicks off with "Pre-flight", composed by Dave Fulton and John Duval. Next is the strong "Arrival" from the trio Engels/vander Wel/Heij, which carries strong comparisons to the sequencer-stuff of ‘70 Tangerine Dream. Tracks 3 to 6 are the outcome of a session the SFP-guys had with Dave Fulton on December 7, 2002, of which "Passage" is a wonderful excursion with some great mellotron sounds. In all, the sparkling music on this album breathes the magic realm of TD’s "Ricochet" and "Encore".

Formed in the late 1980s, British progressive metal band Threshold combined their influences of heavy metal and progressive rock to craft their own unique sound which was a far cry from the commercial sound of the time.
"Decadent" (1999) was released through the fan club to celebrate and mark then years of the band. The CD contains radio edits, remixes, remasters, unplugged versions, Japanese bonus track and different versions of their songs, and with this release they're finally available to the fans…

Threshold Archives began as a project by Peter Christopherson in 2006. At the time, Peter was involved in many projects that consumed much of his time including Soisong, a re-launched Throbbing Gristle, and The Threshold HouseBoys Choir, in addition to assembling the final Coil album, The New Backwards, and the massive Colour Sound Oblivion box. With the passage of time, intercontinental moves, and record label bankruptcies, many master recordings and artworks were lost, damaged, or degrading.

On the Threshold of a Dream was the first album that the Moody Blues had a chance to record and prepare in a situation of relative calm, without juggling tour schedules and stealing time in the studio between gigs – indeed, it was a product of what were almost ideal circumstances, though it might not have seemed that way to some observers…

Formed in the late 1980s, British progressive metal band Threshold combined their influences of heavy metal and progressive rock to craft their own unique sound which was a far cry from the commercial sound of the time. "Wounded Land" was released on GEP Records in 1993, and was hailed by many as the best debut album of the year. The albums "Psychedelicatessen" (1994), "Extinct Instinct" (1997) and "Clone" (1998) followed and were accompanied by tours with combos such as Dream Theater, Psychotic Waltz and Pain Of Salvation…

With the all new album after 9 years, Inade return with another work that indicates a codifying of their sound world full of mysterious design, unspoken secrets and dreams of ancient origin.

London-born composer Tarik O'Regan was only 30 when the second CD devoted to his choral music, Threshold of Night: Music for Voices and Strings, was released. The works collected here show him to have an assured, individual voice; consummate technique as a choral composer; and an ability to create complex music that's not "difficult," that has an immediately sensual appeal. O'Regan's harmonic language is rooted in tonality, but it is richly saturated with chromaticism. He uses dissonance in the old-fashioned way, creating tension that finds satisfying, if unconventional, resolution.
