A Strange Fortune Update May 2006
summer is a comin' in, arise arise!
GEM OF THE MONTH: NEITHER / NEITHER WORLD
Strange Fortune's Gem of the Month for May 2006 is _Invisible Angel_ by
Neither / Neither World.
Neither / Neither World take a big step forward with their most fully
produced, rock-band sounding album thus far. While the old stripped
down acoustic sound is fading away, their music still enticingly blends
innocence and a sinister spirit.
Neither / Neither World's _Invisible Angel_ is a Swiss import in stock
& available to order right away for just $13 & shipping. Listen to a
one minute sample of this gem at

TOR LUNDVALL'S EMPTY CITY: A REVIEW
Strange Fortune is thrilled about the enthusiastic press coming in
about Tor Lundvall's _Empty City_. It's looking likely this will turn
out as his most celebrated release.
There's one writeup in particular we want to share, that Tor himself
feels to be an outstanding interpretation of this album. By Mark Teppo
for Igloo Magazine:
"There's a progression of events that lead to Tor Lundvall's Empty
City. First, we build cities and railways and roads and factories;
then, we vanish from them, disappearing into the night. Lundvall,
riding the train through these empty landscapes, is struck by their
ephemeral nature -- the way they are built and seemingly abandoned. He
carries home these images and paints landscapes. These landscapes,
rich with lambent skies and intense palettes of grey and charcoal,
became the inspiration for the ghostly ambience of Empty City...."

SOL VERITAS LUX: A SOL INVICTUS EPIPHANY
Big thanks to all who have ordered Sol Invictus _Sol Veritas Lux_
deluxe reissue 2006 distributed by Strange Fortune.
This title is just a little delayed as we're making sure it comes out
right - look for this newly polished classic jewel coming your way end
of the month.
While you're waiting we have a little story of musical discovery to
help get you excited about a new edition of one of the essential albums
of neofolk.
I still remember the shock I felt the first time I heard the first
chords of "Against the Modern World"....
