Composer: Jacob Groth.Audio Mixers: Peter Schiotz; Soren Moller.Liner Note Author: Niels Arden Oplev.Photographer: Knut Koivisto.Arrangers: Jacob Groth; Rasmus Hansen; Ole Bo.This disc contains background scoring for the film versions of the second and third novels in Swedish writer Steig Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (both directed by Daniel Alfredson), and the theme for the television version of the trilogy, which also was used in the film of the first novel, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (directed by Niels Arden Oplev). All of this music was written by Jacob Groth, a composer with a singularly appropriate name, since removing the "r" expresses the style of the music perfectly. For his goth scores, Groth employs the Slovak National Orchestra to play the dark string themes, then augments them with extensive keyboard programming to enhance the contemporary feel. Notably, on "Abuse, " he uses industrial sound effects, while "Zala Collage"

Personnel: Philipp "Fil" Groth (vocals, guitar, keyboards, programming); Michael Popp (vocals, saz, fiddle); Syrah (vocals).Audio Mixer: Philipp "Fil" Groth.Recording information: Novaton Berlin (2004-2005).Photographer: Jens Peter Rosendahl.Arranger: Qntal.OZYMANDIAS, Qntal's fourth release, continues the group's exploration of medieval and Celtic themes. Fans of Qntal's previous albums will find much to appreciate here, and the addition of English-language lyrics and electronica flourishes (the jig "Cupido, " for example, has an almost danceable, techno-flavored beat) should broaden Qntal's appeal. A dark, chilly atmosphere prevails throughout much of OZYMANDIAS, yet there is also a peaceful, calming aspect to contemplative airs like "Vogelfluc" and "Dulcis Amor." High-energy tunes like "Amor Volat" borrow from the energy of rock and New Wave, proving Qntal's ability to bridge the ancient past and the cutting-edge present in powerful, intriguing ways.

Drawing inspiration from a 17th-century madrigal by English composer Orlando Gibbons, the trio, fronted by the siren-like Syrah (born Sigrid Hausen), unveils some of its finest and most majestic works to date, as evidenced by the moody, synth-laden "Von Den Elben."

Proving that unbridled aggression isn't always needed to effectively get one's point across in industrial dance music, Norway's Apoptygma Berzerk take a melodic, almost synth-pop-like approach on their second full-length, 7. This domestic issue of an album originally released in Europe in 1996 proves a great introduction to the thoughtful music of Stephan Groth (a.k.a. Grothesk). "Love Never Dies" establishes the gothic tone of the disc, starting things off with grand-guignol organ music that gives way to driving synths and beats, followed by Grothesk's unprocessed vocals and a few sampled refrains from Carmina Burana. "Mourn, " a delicate, stripped-down electro track dedicated to Kurt Cobain, shows off Groth's talent for melodic songwriting, a rarity in a genre often criticized for its lack of subtlety. Other highlights include the energetic Front 242-isms of "Non-Stop Violence" and the sharp techno inflections of "Deep Red" (complete with Laibach sample!). --Steve Landau

Features: Just as a pack of penguins are properly preparing for the pomp of a perfectly polite pageant, a stranger drops from the sky into their midst, knocking himself quite unconscious. Eventually reasoning that this stranger must be Santa Claus, the penguins find that once conscious again, the visitor has no memory whatsoever - and on Christmas Eve! They try their best to help him recall his identity and mission, especially on this night, but are unsuccessful until they bring in the Wise Old Emperor Penguin (heralded by the "Kazoo Fanfare For The Emperor") who hypnotizes Santa back to reality. Thankfully, his loyal reindeer are not too far behind and, after chiding Santa for failing to fasten his seat belt, help him return to his mission. The penguins have indeed saved Christmas! Ideal for primary grades, this secular musical features five delightful songs and lasts 15-20 minutes.
