South of No North: Fell Frozen LP


I was a bit hesitant to share this album, because I think the album was reissued on CD. But I can find no official information on a rerelease, except that only 680 copies were pressed. I don't know if it's still available, or where, so if it is indeed still sold commercially I can take this post down. But anyway, on to the album:
This is one of the best darkwave records ever, hands down. The band was from Greece, and they released this album in 1985 on Creep Records. There isn't too much else that needs to be said.
This is yet another record I found in Vienna.
A note to anyone who will be visiting that fine city who wants to go record shopping: go to Teuchtler Schallplatten, found on Windmuhlgasse 10, (1060 or "6" section of town). Also check out the store right around the corner from it. Between the two, I found this, the Astaron LP, the Sing As We Go compilation, the first Bisca LP, the Desert Corbusier EP, and a load more, all for about 5-10 euro each.

Tracks:
1. She's Only a Song
2. Fell Frozen
3. Creeping
4. Annabelle Lee
5. Melancholy Bells
6. Behiund the Eternal Tree
7. Fairy Tale

Get the album here!

I have files of just about all the South of No North from a fellow in Greece. Amazing stuff.

They were recording a few tracks relatively recently. I do not now much more about what came of it.

I had heard they had reformed, but didn't know they were recording too... Fritz, if you could share any or all of their other material, I would be very grateful! I can't even find the Lacrimae Christi cd rerelease (one place, jpophelp.com, has it on backorder, but that's the closest I've found...
