RamTatTa - AEON SABLE – Aequinoctium

It is autumn, the golden-yellow leaves are taking their last breaths on the trees, and the sun only rises above the horizon late in the morning, only to set again after what feels like 2 hours, if you even get to see it at all. The morning ritual of scraping ice off car windows begins; winter is slowly approaching. It’s the perfect time to stock up on melancholic music, in the form of CDs, but also symbolically while listening to music on the sofa with a cozy blanket, by candlelight, and a semi-sweet wine. Since I don’t drink wine, I switch to a honey-sweet liqueur produced on my second favorite Greek island, "Samos," and indulge in the third mini-album of the Essen gothic rockers AEON SABLE. For me, however, these are the first dark tones I hear from the two musicians Din-Tah Aeon and Nino Sable. And right after the first notes of the title track "Aequinoctium," I immediately hear "Killing an Arab" by THE CURE. If you also add the sound of the unique FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM and the almost equally unattainable SISTERS OF MERCY, you have perfectly captured the sound of the 5-track mini-album. Only the vocals of AEON SABLE cannot compete with the extraordinary voices of Robert Smith, Carl McCoy, and Andrew Eldritch. Nevertheless, I find it easy to indulge in "black" memories while listening to these five great songs.
5 tracks in over 30 minutes of playtime sounds acceptable, but the 6th "hidden track" does not fit this E.P. at all and, in my opinion, completely destroys the atmosphere that has been built up! A small booklet with the lyrics and additional information would have done the mini-album good.
"Aequinoctium" deserved more points, but as it stands, it only gets 7 points.
