Dirk Serries
(Fear Falls Burning) has been operating as Vidna Obmana since the mid-1980s.
Initially working with rough industrial sounds, turning to ambient music with
subtle ethnic undertones at the beginning of the 90's.
Those first albums, which
also brought him wider notoriety, were "Passage In Beauty" (1991), "Shadowing In
Sorrow" (1992) and "'Ending Mirage" (1993), composing a trilogy in both the
sonic and visual sense.
A few years later, they were reissued in one package by
U.S. label Relic.
2018 marks the 25th anniversary of the "Ending Mirage" and is
a good opportunity to bring the entire trilogy to light again.
It is considered
one of Dirk Serries' outstanding achievements as Vidna Obmana.
The discs
received a new graphic design, and their sound was also remastered by the artist
himself.
We can finally enjoy over three hours of these classic ambient sounds
again.
