MITL - Dani's Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
"We are putting the finishing touches on an orchestral
album that we have been working on called Midnight and the
Labyrinth. It is basically tracks from our first four records but
just done as purely orchestral. It is like soundtrack music and it is
really cool." - Dani Filth.
Dani's Blog 14-11-2010
"The forthcoming COF orchestral album (entitled Midnight In The Labyrinth) I briefly mentioned sometime before, has been re-visited, with a studio date of December the 5th set for big choirs to be added to the haunting melee. All songs will be fully orchestrated akin to a horror movie soundtrack (think Danny Elfman, John Williams, Christopher Young etc) and are comprised solely of tracks from our first four releases ( a la Principle, Vempire, Dusk and Cruelty), 'Funeral In Carpathia' being my favourite conversion thus far."
- Lord Filth-formally Count Backwerdz.
The Gauntlet 15-10-2010: Will Midnight in the Labyrinth be done with a full orchestra or just the band?
Dani:It is a mixture. Most of it is recorded. We just need to add some choir and female vocals for narrations. It will be a mixture of us and a orchestral though. We are also going to add some cello. We need more cello in there for that deep resonating. We hope to finish it all off. It won't be every bodies cup of tea. We might have an exclusive bonus track on their with guns blazing and all. This won’t be elevator music though.
Paul: “It’s basically we’ve taken some songs off the first four albums and turned them into orchestral pieces,” he tells me. “No guitars, no drums, no vocals…nothing. Just pure orchestral stuff.” Two of the songs getting the orchestral treatment: Summer Dying Fast and Funeral in Carpathia.”
Were the songs on Midnight Labyrinth chosen because they translated more readily into orchestral versions? Or were they simply the band’s favorite tracks?
Paul:Well, they were mainly chosen because we liked ‘em and a lot of fans are really into those albums. And also it just kinda made sense to try and revive that type of thing but in orchestral [style]. Because we can’t go around and do another cover utilizing a full band so we decided to do orchestral versions of all them songs. And they worked really, really well; I’m really chuffed with them.

During recent depression that is what Australia did (basically increase spending by "giving away" tax money) and appears we came through as one of the best (or less effected) worldwide! Then the Prime Minister who achieved it was voted out because the shareholders we pissed off! Sucks ... greedy pricks hate re-distribution!.
Hydra 666 said:Haha yes Keynesian economics. Unless the government uses expansionary fiscal policy, ex: cut taxes, increase spending...
Noone will buy anything...
Why? Because employment levels will not be at or beyond full capacity.
That's just macroeconomic policy though, effecting employment and GDP.

I got some articles about "MitL" from Zillo and Sonic Seducer. Nothing new apart from them really wanting to use it for the opera about E.Bathory of Dennis Bathory- Kitsz, wich sounds interesting.

The idea had occurred to me! They turned ABBA into a musical... Why not so the same with Cradle? Lol!
Also. Still no Midnight, and still word from System Records. Not using them again. I've emailed twice and got nowhere. Really pissed off at them now! :( Shoulda gone with NB!
