Poetica (All Beauty Sleeps)
Poetica (All Beauty Sleeps) is the 11th album by Sopor Æternus & the Ensemble of Shadows. The album consists of musical adaptations of Poe's poems, some of them already made by Cantodea in previous albums: Dreamland is found on Todeswunsch - Sous le soleil de Saturne under the title of "Die Bruderschaft des Schmerzes";[1] Alone on Voyager - The Jugglers of Jusa;[2] The Sleeper on Dead Lovers' Sarabande (Face One);[3] and The Conqueror Worm on Flowers in Formaldehyde.[4] However, all the musical arrangements were redone in the new versions.[5]
The album was released in September 2013 in two different formats:[6] in Compact disc CD format with an opulent hardcover photo book of 156 pages (28 x 28 cm), and an exclusive T-shirt (limited to 1999 copies);[7] and on 12" vinyl with two posters, exclusive artwork by Natalie Shau and Keith Thompson, and a different T-shirt (limited to 890 copies.)[8] Both editions were signed and numbered by Anna-Varney Cantodea herself. Additionally, the album was released via Bandcamp for digital download.[9]
