Various - Audio Albion Dawn Light Edition
Review by Annette Krznarich
The album Audio Albion Dawn Light Edition by Various is a mesmerizing collection of tracks that takes the listener on a journey through the beautiful landscapes of Albion. The album features a diverse range of artists and genres that seamlessly blend together to create a unique and immersive listening experience.
From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Martha Tilston on "The Singing Skies" to the upbeat and energetic rhythms of "The Wicker Man" by The Hare and The Moon, Audio Albion Dawn Light Edition offers something for everyone. The album also features spoken word tracks that add to the overall storytelling aspect of the project.
The production quality of the album is outstanding, with a careful attention to detail and a focus on creating a cohesive and atmospheric sound. The use of traditional instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy and the accordion add to the authenticity of the project and transport the listener to another time and place.

Notes
- Audio Albion is a music and field recording map of Britain, which focuses on rural and edgeland areas.
- Each track contains field recordings from locations throughout the land and is accompanied by notes on the recordings by the contributors.
- The tracks record the sounds found and heard when wandering down pathways, over fields, through marshes, alongside rivers, down into caves and caverns, climbing hills, along coastlands, through remote mountain forestland, amongst the faded signs of industry and infrastructure and its discarded debris.
- Intertwined with the literal recording of locations, the album explores the history, myths and beliefs of the places, their atmospheres and undercurrents, personal and cultural connections - the layered stories that lie amongst, alongside and beneath the earth, plants and wildlife.
- ************
- Dawn Light Edition. Limited to 104 copies.
- Hand-finished white/black CD album in textured recycled fold out sleeve with fold-out insert and badge:
- 1) Custom printed using archival giclée pigment ink.
- 2) Includes 2.5 cm badge, secured with removable glue on string bound tag.
- 3) 1 x folded sheet of accompanying notes from the contributors, hand numbered on back.
- Audio Albion is released as part of the A Year In The Country project, a set of year long journeys through spectral fields; cyclical explorations of an otherly pastoralism, the further reaches of folk culture and the spectral parallel worlds of hauntology - a wandering amongst subculture that draws from the undergrowth of the land.
- As a project, it has included a website featuring writing, artwork and music which stems from that otherly pastoral/spectral hauntological intertwining, alongside a growing catalogue of album releases and the book A Year In The Country: Wandering Through Spectral Fields.
