February 2010 will see the release of the much awaited Tursa/Kaparte compilation ‘With Friends Like These’, distributed by Cold Spring.
We will be having a launch party on Sunday 7 February as part of the new program of Ship of Fools Club.
It will take place on our favourite boat on the Thames, Bar & Co, Temple Piers on Victoria Embankment, where there will be short live sets by some very special guests.
Live sets by:
NAEVUS
TONY WAKEFORD (Sol Invictus)
ANDREW KING
SUSAN MATTHEWS
EVA EDEN
WILL CONNOR (Vultures)
‘With Friends Like These’ is a double CD featuring 39 tracks by worldwide artists.
This compilation is a group effort produced to enhance the quality of the work of musicians who are linked together by a passion for experimenting with new sounds and exploring the boundaries across various genres.
Ranging from traditional and dark folk, electronica, ambient, neo-classical and post-punk, but first of all, beyond classification.
Partly because of the increasingly fractured and ‘dog eat dog’ nature of modern music, we have and hope to continue to bring together artists from different genres to work and help each other with regard to concerts, promotion and recording.
We are absolutely proud and consider ourselves very lucky to have ‘friends like these’.
***The compilation CD will available at a special price for those attending the launch.

Review
How amazing someone actually bothered to listen to the gig they came to review and made some research, ...can actually write too!
These Ship Of Fools nights on a boat in the centre of London have become something I really look forward to every couple of months, but this, the fourth in the series, boasts a couple of extra-special attractions. When we arrive at Embankment tube station, the Thames Festival is ending with a costume parade along the river bank, so we quickly cross the road, threading our way through the crowd to get ahead of the floats and the drummers and dancers, then settle down to eat our sandwiches watching the parade. The weather's not too chilly for mid-September, and everyone's having a good time. So the evening's off to a great start before we even get to the boat. Later on, between bands, everyone goes up on deck for a massive fireworks display that lights up the night sky over the river. With the parade, the fireworks, and people eating and drinking on deck, it all feels a bit like carnival time in Rio de Janeiro. Without the transvestite prostitutes. Or the sunshine. Oh all right, it's not that much like Rio at all, but it's pretty enchanting nevertheless. The fact that there are a couple of bands to see as well just seems like the icing on the cake.
The songs of Czech-born singer-songwriter Eva Eden are vivid fragments of an intensely personal vision in which nostalgia for the ancient magic of folk tales and devotional music intermingles with wry social realism, sea monkeys and funicular railways. With a sparse instrumental backing of harmonium and electric guitar (plus looped vocals and some surprisingly powerful whistling), the music shifts between garage-rock roughness and hauntingly fragile melody, with a lot of quirky humour thrown in. Several songs are available on her MySpace page, with more elaborate studio arrangements than the live versions, and they're well worth checking out.

2009
'Stolen' re-released their second compilation featuring 'Whoever Brought me here' in Japan and are about to release compilation 3 that will contain 'Underworld'.
'Fairies' now became an official lullaby have a listen on myspace/evaeden and sing it to the babes.
Isn't it bewildering?
To see the Fairies' spreading wings
Up above your bed
The myriads of shooting stars
Passing by so very fast
Isn't it unfair?
That you should miss them every night
The sparks of light they leave behind
Catch them Hold them
Don't let them go away
You will rise like
Smoke on a windless day
You will rise like
Straw on a rainless day
You will rise like
Smoke on a windless day
