Strange Fortune Announces Partnership with Cynfeirdd France

February 2006 -- New England based music seller Strange Fortune will now officially promote & distribute the French label Cynfeirdd in North America.

Cynfeirdd of France is frequently regarded as the most significant label working in the new "folk noir" & related scene in that country. Artists that have been released by Cynfeirdd include Herr, Gae Bolg, Othila, Richard Moult, and Tony Wakeford. Cynfeirdd's releases come as collectible limited editions in unique packaging.

The latest Cynfeirdd title is Richard Moult's _The Secret Joy_. Richard Moult is an English composer working from a romantic tradition, who is behind an upcoming orchestral arrangement of Current 93's _Soft Black Stars_. _The Secret Joy_ is an original work of pastoral beauty performed by piano and two female vocalists.

Alongside the label activities, Cynfeirdd publishes a magazine in English & French, that for ten years has stood as one of the more valuable print publications in the post-industrial music world.

Strange Fortune is a music seller and distributor based in New England USA specializing in "strange & exquisite" post-industrial sounds. Since 1999 Strange Fortune has strived to make rare yet brilliant music available at reasonable prices.

In addition to Cynfeirdd, Strange Fortune serves as official distributor in North America for labels such as Tursa UK (Sol Invictus), Tiger Records UK (Sally Doherty), and Ark Records Italy (Argine/Ataraxia).
