No real point to this post except that I bought the 2 cd re-release of Aspera Hiems Symfonia and it totally fucking rocks! This is just what I was looking for in the way of music right now.
Arcturus rock!

Hehe, I'm gonna order that from The End also. Awesome CD. I'd suggest getting The Sham MIrrors also. Great CD IMO. The other Arcturus CD(La Masquerade Infernale or whatever)I haven't listened to. I can't gett past the first tracks vocals. 
Everyone seems to love it though, I'm probably gonna keep trying

bleed for me....aspera is much more traditional, with occassional chorale like vocals...very cool, atmospheric and wintery

I like Sham Mirrors and LMI about equally, and while Aspera is the closest to normal black metal, there are quite a few moments that point to the experiments to come...

La Masquerade is a very close second for me, the first would be Sham Mirrors. Aspera is my least fave, but still good. It has more of a black metal sound, but I just don't like the songs as well and the production is slightly weaker. Not saying that I don't LIKE the cd though, because I do!
