Ghosts Of Breslau - "Gas" CDR 2006 (320 With Scans)


"As the name suggests, Ghosts Of Breslau evokes mystery and atmosphere of the city in music, as well as spirits of the lost or fallen inhabitants. Early productions connected with this dark ambient project were a sort of lost chronicle, existing only in memory of the spectral metropolis. Those soundscapes were supposed to conjure up the spirit of complicated and often tragic stories."

"Wrocław (Breslau) is the historical capital of Silesia and Lower Silesia. The history of the city dates back over a thousand years, at various times it has been part of the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Habsburg Monarchy of Austria, and the Kingdom of Prussia and Germany. In the interwar period and during World War II, the city witnessed discrimination and persecution of its Polish and Jewish inhabitants, including deportations to forced labour and Nazi concentration camps, and in addition tens of thousands of forced laborers and prisoners of war of various nationalities were imprisoned in multiple German labour camps throughout the city."
