Nadja - Sky Burial [12"]

This SKY BURIAL EP by NADJA is not my favourite release by this band, but nevertheless an interesting EP. Jaguar on the A-side is a quiet drone track that slowly builds into a varied soundscape. Not really my cup of tea. The title track however with its slow-paced drum and dominant lead guitar is great. If you listen to this, you'll understand why people call Nadja a shoegaze band. Both songs clock in over 19 minutes. The EP was recorded in the studios of Southern Records for a series they have, called Latitudes. Only 1000 copies were made of this.

Nadja - Radiance Of Shadows [12", 2LP]

I mentioned this LP earlier when i wrote about the Truth Becomes Death album by NADJA. RADIANCE OF SHADOWS, originally released on CD in 2007, is a great album as well. It features three lengthy tracks and each one takes one side of this double-LP. The last side shows a beautiful etching of a landscape.
Dark, heavy, atmospheric, noisy... just a few words that come to mind when you'd have to describe Nadja's music. It's not something i'm playing every day, but every now and then it's just a brilliant record to put on. Same as with the other album in this series: 750 made in total. I've got a copy on black of the 550 they made of that color, while also 200 copies on white exist.

Nadja - Truth Becomes Death [12", 2LP]

In 2008, Conspiracy Records had the amazing plan to release 3 NADJA albums on vinyl that were previously only released on CD, on Alien8 Records. All in new artwork: awesome nature pictures by Seldon Hunt (known from his great work for bands like Earth, Isis and Jesu) for the inner sleeves, and embossed die-cut outer sleeves. Besides that they all have an etching on side D. Unfortunately i never managed to get my hands on Touched so far, but i'm happy enough to own both Radiance Of Shadows and TRUTH BECOMES DEATH. This album is originally from 2005 and Conspiracy pressed 200 on white and 550 on black vinyl. My copy is a black one. Three sides, three tracks of shoegaze/drone/post-metal. Awesome stuff.

The etching on this LP shows a forest:

Nadja - Long Dark Twenties [7"]

This single-sided 7" by NADJA is of their song LONG DARK TWENTIES, which is based on a song by Paul Bellini, that appeared in the movie Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy. I love Nadja's slow electronic metal-shoegaze a lot, and this is one of my favourite Nadja tunes.

There were only 125 made from the transparent orange version that i have.
