It's an extremely powerful and original release of Ant-zen: three compact-discs in a cardboard box set under the title The Hegira Trilogy by the cult Belgian project This Morn' Omina. Want to know, what's true industrial? How does the music of techno-shamans sound? Well, you've chosen the right way to learn about it.Since the times of Coil I didn't happen to listen to anything more significant of this genre. Though some time earlier I was greatly impressed by the works of Gods Delusion - that was the first title of the team further known as Alexandroid.
Hegira consists of three parts with rare album editions of different periods of team's creative work: from 1997 to 2001. All the musical material is perfectly remastered, sometimes recorded once again. While listening to such compositions as "Inside a Full Eclipse", "Totemism (Modern)" you are slightly shifted to Love Secret Domain, music makes its work very delicately so that any amateur can fall under its influence. Perhaps it's better to know nothing about this music before listening to it, you must be just ready and predisposed for such thematical direction.
All compositions have unreal, fantastic sounding, it reminds the fast immersion into some mythology country with Crowley demonic personages. The leader of the project M.Goedrijk is the true expert at his job, talented musician who was zealously forming this trilogy for a long period of time and at last gained the perfect results. Such a work can be even called monumental, abstract industrial monument for This Morn' Omina.
