June 2004: New CD Released.

'Reflections & Refractions' (Libation Records, LIB004CD) is the latest release from UK gothic darkwave band Libitina. It contains reworkings of material from their back catalogue ('A Closer Communion', 'Weltanschauung', and 'The Shadowline') with the band's new vocalist and updated sound. The producer on this release was again Reza Udhin of UK EBM act Inertia. 'Reflections & Refractions' also features brilliant remixes by a number of the UK's finest dark alternative acts, as well as US electronic noise band Terrorfakt (recently signed to Metropolis Music). The artists that have contributed to the release are Inertia, Swarf, K-Nitrate (ex-Cubanate), Sins Of The Flesh, Synthetic, and Pretentious, Moi? (a Manuskript side project). Songs from the release will appear on compilation CDs over the next few months, including Kaleidoscope's Issue 16 cover disc (UK) and Darkcell Digital Music's 'Splinter_Cell' album. 'Reflections & Refractions' is an album designed for club play, appealing to both the gothic and EBM fraternities with its range of mixes and styles but retaining the band's distinctively romantic and anthemic sound. We've already had some very good feedback about the CD from DJs around the world.

1. Valediction (Terrorfakt Remix)
