the really do need a box set.

goddamn, i don't think there's ever been a band where i've said to myself more often "ah, this is the last one i need!" and been wrong every time. i mean, i THINK i've got everything, then i notice how many soundtracks they did. and "yoga." and that guido hieronymous shit, though i doubt i need those.

also, some of the recurring themes on "coeur de verre" remind me of "hiroshima" by flower travellin' band.

guido heironymous albs are pretty bad....
Yeah, there's a number of the piano/drums/guitar albums that are basically the same kind of stuff, probably somehat repetitive if you don't dig PV*, but I find that I can never have too much of it, somehow.

Probably said something similar upthread, but Daniel Fichelscher has got to be THE underrated "sleeper" guitarist's guitarist, how he isn't better-known is a mystery to me. I've never read an article about him in a guitar magazine once.

I am doing that annoying thing where a person bumps a thread just to say how much s/he loves something, but that said
I could probably listen to Popol Vuh once a day for the rest of my life and never really truly get tired of hearing them. I listened to Brüder des Schattens the other day and I'm still thinking about how much I enjoyed it.
Has anyone been to those events in London where one of their albums is played in an ancient church or something like that? I see updates on facebook but I am in no position to attend any events in London. Just wondering.

I went to the first one (Affenstunde and In Den Garten Pharoahs), once we got over the slight strangeness of the situation it was very nice - good sound system, candles, mmm. Bit of a strange thing to pay £5 for but until Daniel Fichelscher plays it live again (doubtful - did they ever even play live in the first place?) it'll have to do.

Yes. Fricke/Fichelscher/Djong Yun line-up, I believe.

Who goes? Um, some middle-aged record collector types (had to move to a different part of the church to get away from their "witty" sardonic comments and beer breath), a few Hoxton hipsters, dunno really. Didn't see any goths. No psychobillies either.

how did everyone do just sitting there still for so long? was there audible fidgeting? was the music really loud?
― an outlet to express the dark invocations of (La Lechera), Thursday, 13 May 2010 14:48 (thirteen years ago) link
The music wasn't very loud, the worst noise pollution came from the back of the hall where they were selling cans of beer - lots of popping, clanking and fizzing. Problem solved by moving nearer the front! I had a similarly strange feeling at a Messiaen organ recital in Westminster Abbey a couple of years ago, as the organist was obviously hidden away, resulting in a "where do I look?" conundrum. The audience were better behaved at that one though, and they weren't selling beers at the back of the Abbey either, which helped.

really? def sounds like them

In 1975 they visited again Italy for a concert at the University ‘La Statale’ of Milan, somewhere in september. The concert was promoted by the 'Gong' magazine (a magazine about progressive-experimental rock), after R.U. Kaiser established an agreement with the PDU label for licensing the Ohr/Pilz/DKK records in Italy.The concert was opened by a very young Roberto Cacciapaglia, who played a part of 'Sonanze'. For this occasion Popol Vuh consisted of: Florian Fricke (piano and voice), Daniel Fichelscher (guitars) and Renate Knaup (vocals and percussion).There exists a tape/bootleg from this concert.

― Whirlwind Bromance (Tom D.), Thursday, 13 May 2010 14:53 (thirteen years ago) link
oh man, selling beers? that's what i was afraid of. i'm getting a better picture of this event already. guess i shouldn't begrudge people the joy of purchasing beers, but...i dunno. i get it now. i still think it would be enjoyable, but definitely sit near the front.
also why was it not really super loud? i would want it to be so loud that i couldn't even think of anything else.
