Saltatio Mortis - Manufactum Iii

Limited First Edition 2 CD Mediabook With their sixth studio album "Sturm aufs Paradies", the minstrels in SALTATIO MORTIS stormed the Media Control Charts (position 3). To keep the fire burning, they release a live album "Manufactum III – Live auf dem Mittelaltermarkt". The songs were recorded at the big birthday party of their friend Gisbert Hiller, who is known as the organizer of the "Mittelalterlich Phantasie Spectaculum". The party was also held for the 20th anniversary of the MPS at the "Dortmunder Westfalenhalle". With a perfect sound and authentic atmosphere the band demonstractes, how to get masses of people dancing and freaking out to unplugged music. Fans of the band have been waiting impatiently for this album for a long time – finally they can listen to unreleased tracks from the unplugged setlist on their home stereo.Those who are preferring their more rocking side of the band will find new interpretations of "Der letzte Spielmann", "Salome", "Nach Jahr und Tag", "Fiat Lux" and last but not least the fan favorite and anthem "Eulenspiegel" on the album. Bagpipes, shalms, drums and also historic string instruments like the bouzouki and the hurdy-gurdy are coming together to an incomparable and one of a kind sound. The conscious decision, to create a medieval live recording instead of a studio album was done, because this kind of music has to be played in front of an audience. In front of 8000 enthusiastic fans at the "Hamburger Spectaculum", the music becomes a sweeping experience with an overwhelming atmosphere.
