Terra Mystica

Entry updated 8 January 2018. Tagged: Music.

Slovenian rock band, whose first album Carsica (1998) is in effect a modernization of Jules Verne's Voyage au centre de la terre (1863); a gnomic and inventive suite of music that elaborates a subterranean narrative. A follow-up, Axis (2002), concerns the Yggdrasil, or Axis Mundi, a mythological tree that has also attracted the attention of some sf authors. [AR]
