Yet as a supporting cast, she has surrounded herself with a formidable selection of mercurial contributors. Once again, Jakko M. Jakszyk (King Crimson) brings his fiery and mellifluous solo guitar work, as well as contributing backing vocals, keyboards and co-production. Elsewhere, the flute soliloquies of Tiny Bard are the work of Jethro Tull’s Ian Andersonwhile saxophone duties are handled by Mel Collins, whose work with King Crimson marks only one chapter in an incredibly storied life in music.\u003cbr\u003eProviding violin and viola across the stylistic expanse of the album, Shir-Ran Yinon (New Model Army \/ Eluveitie) returns as a collaborator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rhythm section for the lion's share of the record consists of the dream team of Tony Levin (King Crimson \/ Peter Gabriel) and Gary Husband (John McLaughlin \/ Billy Cobham \/ Allan Holdsworth) with Nick Beggs stepping in on bass for Dance With The Devil and upright bass on Long Kiss Goodnight.\u003cbr\u003eCrucially however, even amidst this kind of company, Louise’s voice and vision is never remotely overshadowed—with the talents on offer only serving to make the backdrop to her songs still more vivid, sharp and intense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn as much as Netherworld is a work that exists on a lineage of progressive music and the visionary artists who’ve expanded their boundaries of exploration to form sound-worlds as big as their imagination, it’s also a work of magical realism in the tradition of Pan’s Labyrinth, The Company Of Wolves or the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Haruki Murakami—in which the supernatural and otherworldly, lead to a shortcut to the essence of being human.\u003cbr\u003eIn this World, Louise Patricia Crane is our Storyteller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53439314755927,"sku":"P-154119-","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Louise-Patricia-Crane-Netherworld-CD-DIGIPAK-154119-1-1714643088.jpg?v=1778236643"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.season-of-mist.com\/collections\/label-peculiar-doll-records.oembed","provider":"Season of Mist - International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
