The wondergirl of Finnish dark ambient soundscapes is back with a new album. Revisited is based on field recordings made during Ovro’s tour in Russia in 2006, subsequently processed and treated in the studio. Revisited is a powerful aural travelogue. It will lull the listener to a state of receptive trance, and then starts working on the subconscious mind. Let yourself go, lose yourself in the sound, expect lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, alien apparitions and a shower of sound massaging your body throughout.

Revisited is loosely related to Estraier, a 2006 EP of which only a handful of copies were given out. Compared to Estraier, Revisited is extended, mutated and more elaborate throughout. While the beginning is similar, the paths taken turn out somewhat different and thus the outcome is all new.

This album consists of two distinct parts, each independent yet linked to each other. Ovro started working on "Mosaick the Serpent" already in late 2003. In the early stage it was to become an independent EP, but the appearance of "Gegendurchgangenzeit" (2005) delayed its release. Meanwhile, a companion EP started to take form, namely "Vipera Aurea". These two EPs, Mosaick and Vipera, are twins – independent yet entwined like the snakes of a caduceus. They support and compliment each other and form a new whole, a third being that contains both its makers and in itself is something more. Vipera Aurea is ´coagula´ to Mosaick the Serpent's ´solve´.

Some of this material has been performed on Ovro's live performances during 2005/06. Those lucky to have witnessed any of these will know the album is calm yet intense, vocal-flavoured Dark Ambient mindscapes in the highly regarded Ovrian style. Features contributions from Massimo of Black Sun Productions, Niko Skorpio and Mockingwyrd (Kaaos in Eccentris etc).

An exercise on aural pathworking. Cinematic isolationist dark-ambient soundscapes, very evocative... you are taken through rainy seas, soaked, shipwrecked, underwater, underground... and what sights you see, what beings you meet on the way is left for your subconscious to reveal. Deep listening for small hours. Sit back, relax and let your mind go.

"An impressively monomaniac achievement - throughout, cold digital winds and abrasive fragments of sound scour icily imagined tundras. The surprise is that such a seemingly dour undertaking ends up being so absorbing. Despite its atmospheric statis, Ovro's music never stops flowing forward, opening up a succession of dark, compelling vistas." (The Wire)
