Judgement Of Paris ‎– Conversion












Judgement Of Paris
Conversion
1992 C'est La Mort

Taking their name from the story in Greek mythology, this Minneapolis group led by Christian Erickson earned the label “trance-pop pioneers”. They easily could have been on the 4AD roster and not just because they used a dulcimer. Medieval instruments, rolling tribal beats, layered fretless bass and stark, mood-inducing sequences complimenting Christian’s soothing baritone. Absolutely one of my most treasured albums that gets played weekly. We were rewarded with two albums and a couple tracks on the Doctor Death series before they called it quits in 1994.

Ha! I wish I could. Never knew the story behind the missing "Vol 2"... there has to be one. I could post the DD4 Instrumental Companion or one of the brilliant Area albums, Beautiful Pea Green Boat, Handful Of Snowdrops... tough lot to pick from.
