{"product_id":"feasting-with-panthers-2lp-united-kingdom-import","title":"Feasting With Panthers 2LP (United Kingdom - Import) ( VINYL )","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble vinyl LP pressing. A stellar collaboration between composer Michael Cashmore (Current 93) and vocalist. Marc Almond of Soft Cell fame. Two complementary creative sensibilities in intimate interlock; supreme compositional and vocal talents fusing to make uniquely dramatic musical and vocal interpretations of searing beauty and insight. Specifically, this suite of songs feature the heightened lyricism of a stunning array of cult poets, both contemporary and of yesteryear. 'Feasting With Panthers' is a stellar collaboration between composer Michael Cashmore (Current 93) and vocalist Marc Almond of Soft Cell fame, in the nearest thematic echo and nod, in the latter's vast back catalogue, to the darker gothic influences of his celebrated Marc And The Mambas period and his acclaimed 'L'Absinthe' and 'Jacques' twisted chanson solo albums. This album's defining aesthetic is the setting of outsider poems to music. Poems by Count Eric Stenbock plus unique lyrical translations - by celebrated poet Jeremy Reed - of works by Jean Genet, Jean Cocteau, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, as well as Reed's own poetry. The emphasis throughout is on 'decadent' poems of thwarted love, ill-fated romance, self-destruction and death: many poems are woven with homo-eroticism, laced with opium dreamstates and all are accompanied by Michael Cashmore's haunting and melancholic music that lends the verses a deft yearning for beauty and a bittersweet, melancholic longing for lost innocence and youth. Originally released in 2011 and long since deleted, 'Feasting With Panthers' is now restored to back catalogue availability in a 2xCD mini-album sleeve style capacity wallet complete with a fold-out poster lyrics sheet and featuring four bonus tracks. The album was recorded over several years by the artists sending music files back and forth by e-mail and post; the artists never once recording together in the studio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel: Sfe\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 5013929842571\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: May 02, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Thief and the Night A2 - Sonnet XI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boy Caesar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Lunatic Lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Crime of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sleeper in the Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Song of the Unwept Tear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Patron Saint of Lipstick B5 - Gabriel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Desdichado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hotel de France and Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Man Condemned to Death C4 - Feasting with Panthers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gabriel (2025 New Orchestrated Instrumental)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Man Condemned to Death (2025 New Orchestrated Instrumental)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Lunatic Lover (Live Official Bootleg) D4 - Gabriel (Live Official Bootleg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"02- Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56735284691317,"sku":"5013929842571","price":6.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8300\/2485\/files\/4406068-3327666.jpg?v=1770944971","url":"https:\/\/warmvibevinyls.com\/products\/feasting-with-panthers-2lp-united-kingdom-import","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
