Jim Kirkwood, aka Lucifaere, The Ancient Technology Cult, Beyond the Fields We Know.
Official website:- http://www.jimkirkwood.com/
Jim has recently begun the Morningstar Project of which the first four installments are already available on Last FM as a free download. Morningstar Pt1 Revelations of the Fallen, Pt2 The World Behind the Mirror, Pt3 Helmsman on a Ship of Dreams, and The Once and Future Heretic.
Jim has been writing Electronic Music since the late 1980’s when he stepped back from fronting a black metal band to explore a solo career in instrumental music. He has his own unique style of Gothic EM which moves easily between huge symphonic slabs of music, dark ambience and sequencer driven soundscapes. The music itself, inspired by Gothic and Symphonic Rock and Berlin School Electronica, is quite often a CD in length, moves and shifts in tempo and mood, sometimes dark and sombre, sometimes ethereal and melodic, yet the whole gels perfectly into a single experience that grips the imagination and brings you into a world of dark and exciting beauty. It is a world that explores the fringe side of life. Strange esoteric cults and religion, conspiracy theories, ancient mythology and civilisations, sci-fi and fantasy, (Jim is a fan of Babylon 5, JRR Tolkien, Moorcock, Gaimen), are all inspiration for his instrumental music. Jim (Crowman) is also a regular contributor to the Craig Gilbert forum. http://www.craig-gilbert.com/

Found you some months ago on the musiczeit shop. Best money spent on apparently free music. Ever. Harhar. But seriously, this is great music!

Hi Jim, I remember sitting next to you in 1992 in Liverpool watching Ian Body at the Synthasia festival . I bought one of your cassettes LOL. This was before I ended up making music myself.
