Nux Vomica: The Crowning of Nature

Nux Vomica's first full-length CD release is an aural exploration into the world of alchemy. Each track is a representation of a different stage in the alchemical process as outlined in the ancient alchemical manuscript entitled The Crowning of Nature.

The CD features a collection of studio recordings as well as several live pieces. The live pieces mark an important time in experimental music as they were recorded during the final live artist performance on KFJC's Radio Free Hatred in February of 2001.

From delicate rhythmic trance like textures to a descent into a fiery dream world - this release has something for anyone who enjoys intensely dynamic soundscapes.

 
track listing

first created from an uncreated being
the ancient chaos
out of which a flourishing tree doth appear
pressing down to the earth
reduction to the nature of the fire
resolution into water
the black sun
levitation into air
intelligibles and visibles
