La Colonie Volvox - Fin Amor

Fin Amor is a poem by Marcabru, one of the earliest troubadours whose poems are known. The music is totaly original and has no traditional background or basis, written by La Colonie Volvox and released on their fourth album East West and Rest.

"East West and Rest" is a 67 minute journey through the colorful and layered milieu of the interacting global cultures. The album is divided in two fictional sides, of which side A or "West" deals with the discrete charm of the North/West individualism and it's unbearable lightness of being, while side B or "East" emphasizes the deep, meditative and collective consciousness of the Eastern worlds. However, as in reality, the two worlds are never clearly separated, so don't expect to hear totally different soundscapes -- on the contrary, the similarities are always stronger and deeper rooted then the differences.

"East West and Rest" is the second CD released on the Macedonian indie label "EGoEast Records" and the fourth consecutive album of the group. (The previous three are "Abstractology" and "Wasteland" (2006, SJF Records) and "Europa" (2009, EgoEast Records).

Line up: Sasho Gigov -- Gish (vocal, udu, bendir), Aleksandar Nikolovski (trumpet, vocal), Simon Kiselicki (piano, keyboards, flutes), Predrag Ikonomovski (acoustic guitar), Dragan Stojkovski (bass, midi guitar), Gazmend Berisha (electric violin), Goce Naumov (drums), Bulent Bekir -- Baba (shaker) and Ola Dioss (spoken word)
