《ALL BEAUTY IS SAD》或許又是上個世紀的曇花一現，高興的是，新世紀伊始，即誕生了《STABAT MAT》EP，這是一張更為純粹的古典樂，相比《ALL BEAUTY IS SAD》的焰氣沖天，《STABAT MATER》更忠實于原作悲憫深沉的宗教救贖美感，放棄了戲劇化的激情，在弦樂、管風琴、古鋼琴的搭配中追尋回古典巴洛克時期音樂的典雅風范，霸氣的唱腔也不再出現。古典樂迷最貼切的評價或許就是“極端浪漫的改編”。 这张专辑的歌词就是歌名到下一首歌名之间的诗句。
Stabat Mater－圣母悼歌（拉丁文）: 1-8節 史實的陳述
1．Stabat Mater dolorosa, Juxta crucem lacrimosa, Dum pendebat Filius.

6．Quis non posset contristari, Christi Matrem contemplari, Dolentem cum Filio?

免我身被水火焚炙，赐我蒙受慈母恩护，在我接受审判日。
19-20節 向聖子祈禱
19．Christe, cum sit hinc exire, Da per Matrem me venire, Ad palmam victoriae.
基督，我离此尘世，赐我倚恃慈母慈恩，到达胜利的光荣。

在我肉躯亡故之日，使我灵魂蒙受恩赐，获享天堂的荣福，阿门。

“Dear listeners.
This is the first track from my new album, Dead Magic!
Me, my band and Randall Dunn spent 9 days in Copenhagen recording this record. The great pipe organ you’re hearing is a 20th century instrument located in Marmor Kirken, "The Marble Church", Copenhagen.
Here is a poem for you by the Swedish writer Walter Ljungquist (1900-1974):
”Take the fate of a human being, a thin pathetic line that contours and encircles an infinite and unknown silence. It is in this very silence, in an only imagined and unknown centre, that legends are born. Alas! That is why there are no legends in our time. Our time is a time deprived of silence and secrets; in their absence no legends can grow."
Please enjoy the music.
Yours sincerely,
Anna von Hausswolff"

Notes on the recording process:
The organ on All Thoughts Fly is situated in Gothenburg and is a Swedish replica of the Arp Schnitger organ in Germany. It is the largest organ tuned in Quarter-comma meantone temperament in the world. With it’s four manuals, one pedal and 54 stops, it was built as part of a ten-year research project reconstructing 17th Century North German organ building craft. The tuning temperament is an important detail to note here, as it deeply affects the sound and tuning, and thus radically changed the process of creating this album. Anna speaks of a pleasant surprise during recording, the organ's ability to create beautiful "pitching" notes through its stops and air supply system. She remarks “We took advantage of this so most of the pitching sounds and notes that you hear on the album comes from the mechanics of this organ, effects made entirely acoustically." The organ was recorded with two room mics for atmosphere and two pairs of close mics placed inside the organ to capture nuances and detail for further organ sound processing by Filip Leyman in his studio.
