Tactile/Rosa Mundi - Grief featuring Jhonn Balance - 7" picture disc (DivF02) Tracklisting: Side A. Grief Side B. The Snowman As a memorial and a tribute to the art, life, and passing of a truly gifted artist and silver tongued poet, Divine Frequency Records would like to present "Grief", a limited 7 inch picture disc featuring the voice of Jhonn Balance. This release presents a solemn pair of hard to find and out of print tracks featuring his unique vocal talents. Besides his work as Coil, Balance was an avid collaborator and his voice was an infrequent but always noteworthy addition to the recordings of other artists. It was this spirit of experimentation that was the inspiration for the two tracks on this release. The A side, "Grief", by Tactile, is Balance's foreboding, minimalist collaboration with John Everall, originally appearing on the hopelessly out of print and much sought after "Borderlands" album. The B side features "The Snowman," by Rosa Mundi, which is a tranquil wintry piece featuring his vocals as well as those of Rose McDowall. This piece originally appeared on Sorrow's now out of print "Final Solstice" CD. Many thanks to Rose, Mr. Everall, and Threshold House for their blessing of this release. Featuring stark black and white imagery from Simon Marsden and Twilight Photography, this release is presented in the form of a simple but elegant picture disc strictly limited to 777 copies.
