This release features contributions from David Tibet Christine Glover, Flora McCrindell, Diana Rogerson, Clint Ruin and Roman Jugg. It's one of David Tibet's earliest appearances with Nurse With Wound and the first ‘proper’ recordings David made with NWW after Steven Stapleton asked him to join the group. It was recorded at IPS in 1982 and released on 12 inch vinyl on Belgian label Laylah records, 1984. The title is a reference to Swedish authors Vilhelm Carlheim-Gyllensköld, Gustaf Af Geijerstam and Viktor Rydberg (all contemporaries of August Strindberg), and is taken from Strindberg's book From An Occult Diary.

Steven Stapleton regards this recording as being the first proper Nurse With Wound release. It’s audibly less musically conventional than its predecessors and has been described as eerie, volatile and often unsettling, with combined tape edits of resonating gong tones and disembodied children’s voices, creating a sonic collage far removed from the harsh improvisations of the group’s early albums.

Drunk With The Old Man Of The Mountain was originally released on LP in 1987 in a limited edition of 100, this marks the first ever CD release of this Nurse With Wound classic. It's an exceptionally playful record, whilst also being perversely cheerful with an overall horror-film-esque atmosphere, strangely reminiscent of Goblin's Dawn Of The Dead soundtrack.

Inspired by the 1961 film Last Year At Marienbad (a French
movie directed by Alain Resnais) this album is reminiscent of the
Nurse With Wound classic Soliloquy For Lilith in its tone and
layering.
Echo Poeme : No. 2 is one continuous piece based around the
female voice. It's an hypnotic and eerie combination with vocals
floating delicately around seething, sexual inhalations, barking
dogs and psychedelic, vibratory shudders of mysterious origin, a
thrilling and magical twenty minutes that culminates in an
eardrum-piercing squall of a WWII air raid siren and the dive-
bombing blitzkrieg of warplanes.
