From Biber's famous 'Guardian Angel' Passacaglia to Guillemain's 'Amusements' and sonatas and fantasias by Matteis (father and son), Pisendel and Vilsmayr, Isabelle Faust offers us a panorama of European music for unaccompanied violin from the second half of the Baroque era.

Loch Vostok rose out of the collapse of Progressive Metal band Mayadome in 2001. After 10 years Drummer Teddy Möller was tired of the cheeze and decided to start something meatier - Loch Vostok was born. Three core members, Mayadome founder Teddy Möller, Keyboardist Sebastian Okupski and Bass Player Erik Grandin set about formulating a new act. Möller would switch from his erstwhile role as a drummer to that of lead vocalist/guitarist and with the incorporation of former El Presidente guitarist Niklas Kupper alongside ex Imperial Domain drummer Alvaro Svanerö the band was complete. However, Grandin was to relocate to the USA and so former Mellow Poetry guitarist Tomas InchTymInch Jonsson stepped in to fill the bass vacancy. Utilizing producer Daniel Bergstrand, Loch Vostok cut a self-financed album InchDark LogicInch entirely based upon infamous serial killers such as Henry Lee Lucas, Andreij Tzjikatilo and Ed Gein. The first tag to pick up the album for distribution would be the Russian concern CD-Maximum. Shortly after the Russian , Portugese tag Magnetism Records contracted Loch Vostok, and released InchDark LogicInch worldwide August 1st 2004. Album Tracks 1. A Mission Undivine 2. Repeat Offender 3.
