Notes
Limited edition of 400 copies. Housed in an extra heavy gatefold book-bound sleeve. Only very rarely some of them with bonus CD "Abhijna".Beta-lactam Ring Records blrrecords.com ©℗ 2009 mt181/183 mfg.hong kong
Taken from the sleeve:
"This is a collection of strange songs and odd old jewells. Most basic versions were recorded years ago on analogue 8-track and some later re-worked & re-mastered over and over again. Pieces that were not "ready" when they were made, are pieces that developed & mutated further over the years. Most of them were originally used for live-performances. We still don't know really what it is, but we couldn't stop ourselves from producing these little hymns...
The basic version of ELATION was recorded years ago (maybe in 2001) and was then later part of a live performance also called ELATION and performed at the end of 2003 in London, Brighton, Dublin & Cork and spring 2004 during our European tour with DJ Zipo.
USQUE SUMUS LUX & EOLET were performed several times in 2004 as a live-set called "SIGQAN II" in Dortmund, Copenhagen and Aarhus.
DHÂNU-H is based on a song we adore by a German "Schlager" singer. It also appeared on a credit-card mini CDR in a tiny cardboard-box edition of about 30 copies in Michael Hohendorf's "cigarette-machine" project. It was also a part of a live show in Bremen with Asia Nova and Voice Of Eye on September 13, 2007.
PROCESSION is a cover version of a Savage Republic song. It was the end part of a live program we performed throughout the year 2007 in Arnhem, Berlin, Bremen, Cologne, Prague & Lille. [Original song was] Published by The Independent Project Music (BMI) / Jackson Del Rey Music (BMI).
The unreleased version of CRESCERE was the bonus part of a performance named "TRAHAN II" we performed in Antwerp, Ghent and Arnhem in April 2005. It is based on a soundtrack to a French movie from the 70s, which influenced Glit[s]ch, (8 years old) to start making music.
ABHIJÑÂ is a brand new track, specially produced specifically for the bonus CD in the winter & spring 2008 for the first 500 copies [this edition info belongs to CD version of this release].
Everything recorded in Bremen, Germany from (about) 2001-2008.
Ingredients: Guitar, and Basswork, Voice, Accordion, Djembe, Loops, Sufi-Singing, Field, Sea and Churchbell Recordings & our legendary Serving Plate...
TROUM wishes to thank Chris McBeth, Savage Republic, Helge Siehl for the participation in EOLET, Markow C. for the mastering, Stephen O'Malley for the art, design and layout and all the great people who supported us over the years, especially Jeffrey Yount who runs the official Troum website!

"Eald-Ge-Stréon" is Old English for "Ancient treasure". "Abhijñâ" is Sanskrit for "Higher knowledge".
Tracktitles listed sequentially on release.
The sleeve erroneously includes the catalog number (mt181), meant only for the extra CD ("Abhijna") in the CD version of this release.
A digital download card was scheduled to be included that would have included the exclusive CD track "Abhijna", however technical issues prevented this from being added.
