some info on the record you may find useful :
A unique and limited edition of 669 copies which was released in a special embossed sleeve
in runic design and includes a 20-pages lyric booklet and inner sleeve with information
on Aswynn and O'Kill. The tracklist appear on the booklet only.
The three poems "Havamal", "Voluspa" and "Sigdrifumal" are taken from the Edda.
The versions used here are based on the translations by W.H. Auden and P.B. Taylor,
adapted by Freya Aswynn). The poems "Wotan" and "Nietzsche" are taken from
"Also sprach Zarathustra" by Friedrich Nietzsche.
"Yggdrasil is the cosmic ash tree, it is Odin's steed and gallows from whence the runes
were delivered to the world. It is the tree of life, a complexity of meanings enlarged and
enriched by the music of this CD. Patrick's powerful thunderous and sensitive backing
music to Freya's spoken and chanted poetry and runecalls capture absolutely the elemental
magick and energies of the Gods and Goddesses of the Norse mysteries and the shamanic
energy of the Runes.
The music ranges from conveying the maelstrom of a curse, to the delicate melodic harp tracery
of a hymn of praise to Wotan. Whether martial cacophony of percussion, or delightfully melodic,
the whole of the 'Fruits' has the hallmark of a genuine grimoire. Here is magick of intent,
a synthesis of fire and ice, a reminder that these elder beings are not dead!
They can be rekindled to interweave once again with our wills and desires."
