News: More NOH Details

[Update: We’ve been told that the performer credits posted on Amazon.co.uk are based on preliminary information and are not final. As we alluded to below, the wheels are still in motion and information found on retail sites at this point isn’t set in stone.]

Amazon.co.uk has added some additional information about Night of Hunters to one of their listings for the record. In addition to a track list that matches what was previously posted on Play.com (but has since been removed), Amazon is showing what appears to be the musicians for each track on the album — and what enticing performer credits they are! For instance, Tash’s name appears with a few tracks, including “SnowBlind,” “Cactus Practice,” “Job’s Coffin,” and “The Chase.”

Peruse the list and you’ll see four names repeated a lot: Pawel Zalejski, Bartosz Zachlod, Piotr Szumiel, and Piotr Skweres. Together, they’re the quartet known as Apollon Musagète, a Polish ensemble whom we posted about last weekend and have recorded recently with Tori in Cornwall.

There’s also Andreas Ottensamer, principal clarinetist for the Berliner Philharmoniker; oboeist Nigel Shore ; bassoonist Peter Whelan ; and flautist Laura Lucas (whose website is currently on the fritz).

Of course, we hasten to remind everyone that nothing’s final until it hits the stores and the airwaves this Fall. Given the late June studio session with Apollon Musagète, it seems that Night of Hunters is still a work being forged, so plenty can change.

And on a related note, the release date for the record on Amazon.com’s listing for the deluxe edition of the record has been changed to September 20th. However, all the UK retailers still maintain a September 26th release date, so there seems to be some wet concrete on that point as well.

Cheers to Luke, Tony, Mark-Alexis and Zach for all the information!
