Stone Breath : Lanterna Lucis Viridilatis (expanded edition) (US,2000,pub.2008)***°'
By this time Stone Breath were Timothy, Prydwyn, Sarada and RA Campbell. It was also a time when they investigated deeper forgotten spirits related with nature mysticism, Hildegard Von Bingen’s writings, and stories from the Templer Knights, and having an influence of the growing interest in traditional music (while learning clawhammer banjo). The songs often feel like a deeper hypnotic meditation on themes (occasionally folk (dance) related), on which a certain improvisation builds mood around these songs, accompanied by dual/harmony vocals, rhythmical banjo pickings, sliding acoustic guitar, flute improvisation, harmonium, bodhran, and many more occasional instruments. I forgot how good and convincing the album was. Some songs I also forgot about. Each member was in their rightful place making the songs moodier provided with (-also nicely stretched, especially on the last track-) improvised pleasures. Just a few songs are like provoking droning poetry spoken word or singing that sounds like a ritual to provoke a mystic thought, knowledge or understanding. Celebrative elements can be sad for the forgotten commitments towards nature; these are stories of blood and green.
The album is also expanded with recordings from that period, which previously made it to different limited editions and compilations, and a live recording on WMBR, Boston. One of these were a few songs in cooperation with Fit & Limo (for an EP). On the live recording Erik Wivinus (from Salamander, Skye Klad, on guitars, witchfinder dulcimer) and Matt Zaun (now sadly deceased, since 2007, percussionist for Salamander, Skye Klad, Blitzen, Di Dollari, on drums, percussion, sounds) participated.
The first six songs of the bonus CD are much simpler in the arrangements, and the vocal strangeness of Tim’s droning voice is much more bare to the bone core of the songs and are not compensated by mood arrangements. Also on this second disc the mood builds up over the recording (with a few tracks with droning bell and crows sounds), ending in the live session, a warmer version of Stone Breath compared to the more directly working “mystic”-shamanistic visionary provoking on the first disk.

Stone Breath : Knotwork (expanded edition) (US, ?,pub.2008)***'
This last album is a compilation of rare EPs and unreleased songs, mostly from the later years of the band. The early tracks use interesting new instruments like the revelator-guitar, and a sitar-guitar, both with their own interesting droning/buzzing sound. Especially “A silver crown song” is interesting, not only for this but also for its small part with Latin. There’s a bit more experiments with loops, or the idea of loops, or drones, more than before, and the use of harmonium. The songs are also kept much more basic. Here Stone Breath is acting solo, as a duo or trio with Timothy with Prydwyn and Sarada.
