Way of the Cross “Mind of the Dolphin” (Phoenix 02-LP)
In the Spring of 2007 a tour commenced from Latvia to Holland called "Way Of The Cross: On The Path Of The Ninefold Muse", titled from Robert Graves’ book The White Goddess. The tour spanned Polish clubs, Dutch radio, Berlin galleries, and the Latvian beach; “Mind of the Dolphin” documents the music spawned at these stops. WOTC members include Dave Nuss (NNCK), Stellar OM Source, The Skaters, Jan Anderzen (Kemialliset Ystavat), Kuupuu, Mik Quantius (Embryo), and Tiitus Petajaniemi and Jari Koho (Uton, Keijo). "The White Goddess is far more than a long-discredited pagan deity. She is still alive, and her worship takes many strange forms both inside and outside the conventions of Western morality. In particular, she continues as the Ninefold Muse, patroness of the white magic of poetry."

Interesting. I think it's quite perfect they should pick up on that particular book, because if NNCK's is a pagan music, it's one without a fetish for Arcadianism, Earth Mothers and naif-Mithraism. And it's a particularly dangerous book, just because it'd be very easy to use it to sharpen an axe against Chritianity, whereas a name like 'way of the cross' suggests there's something more subtle going on. I'm currently a bit fascinated with the idea of of the stations.
But these are probably pretty ridiculous thoughts, and I don't want to give them a context.
