Also, and this is distressing, I realized I don't have Seligpreisung!

Seriously, his stories about their process were very enlightening!

Loved the bits about consonanten too.

hmmmm. continued "stickering issues" have delayed the delivery of my order from norman records. has anyone ordered from them before? they've answered all my emails (thanks, phil!) but i guess i'm feeling that charming combination of bummed and impatient.

i buy from them quite a bit and they've never let me down yet. pretty trustworthy imo, i don't think they'd be telling you any fibs

ok. that's what i needed to hear. their sales process was very reassuring in general, and they have answered all of my questions, so it's gonna be ok.

patience, patience!

i hope your order arrived

It has been shipped, but hasn't arrived yet. Can't wait!!

I've been thinking of D fichelscher saying "overdubs!" ever since I watched that interview/whatever that was.

just ordered these as well! excited!

Norman Records are great and very trustworthy.

my records are here! i'm going to make dinner and listen to one, not sure which one!!

:D

I've been listening to the Popol Vuh Werner Herzog box set on and off over a few months. That is just some intense music.

this man is not afraid of cymbals

Floor Tom is die Konsonanten, cymbal is der Vowel!

""ohn Weinzierl, good looking guy, strong, vital"

Oops, John Weinzierl...

Can't front, I will always get a little creeped out when Germans talk abt vitality/mountaineering/fresh clean air. Make exception for Danny tho.

vitality/mountaineering/fresh clean air
three great things, what are you talking about!?

i am on a total d fichelscher kick atm

Oh it's just that unfortunate link the early 20c proto nazis forged between health regimens and anti semitism.

"Hey I'm in an outdoor singing society too!"

*winks ominously*

But that's why German hippies had to go SO FAR OUT. A lot of ghosts to chase off!

oh well yeah on second thought i guess that's pretty gross
but those things are great on their own, minus the association

i keep thinking about how d fichelscher showed up at a music festival with his bongos and wound up being an essential part of ADII and PV. that's pretty amazing.

Shit I gotta get some bongos ASAP.

I guess I would also have to be willing to leave the house with them though ....

ADII are so fkin wonderful

Is it yeti and carnival he is on or carnival and wolf city?

the latter

maybe next year i will be d fichelscher for halloween and i will be able to bring my bongos and change my life
there's a goal

Sounds like a good goal all around.

I need to do that this year. Right now. Halloween might even be too late.

cmon never too late

La Lechera do you have a report or any thoughts on your new vinyl? I saw them yesterday for sale at Wall Of Sound in Seattle and was super tempted, but $30 is just a bit steep.

I do! I am not interested in dominating the thread with my personal opinions about objects, but these are some very special objects. I have been enjoying them IMMENSELY! I don't really care about the poster or the essays (there is the same set of info inside each record + a little poster) and I think it's something I've read before anyway, but I can imagine people who weren't that familiar with the Vuh getting more out of that stuff.

I've only had PV on mp3 or CD and these records definitely sound great. I'm also enjoying the ritual of flipping them over and realizing the genius of the sequencing (which really is not the same on CD/mp3). Surprise hit (cymbal crash) has been Einsjager & Siebenjager, but Pharaos sounds way way way more amazing than I remember it (I don't listen to that one as much). They're all obvs great albums.

Overall, since I bought them with birthday money and they are a special band for me, I would say the purchase was worth it. If there is an album you feel extra strongly for, I would definitely recommend buying. You will feel a brief surge of remorse (I did) that will melt as soon as you drop the needle.

actually no, i had 2 PV records prior to the reissues

also i haven't listened to the bonus djong yun 7" yet

thank you!

no mention of it here yet, but mount eerie covered "engel der luft" from fitzcarraldo on his/their last album and it's incredible:

whoa that's intense!
but also uh oh -- i better hurry up!!

LL I bought Affenstunde and In Den Garten Pharoahs based on yr recommendations and I love them! So thank you. Those Spanish LP reissues are really hard to find in the US.

always glad to be of service!

i'm right about the essay inside, right? i'm pretty sure that i've read that before but i can't find it -- i think there was a scan of a magazine or something? it seemed like a lot of familiar info to me and my memory is not spectacular, so maybe it's just the same info recycled in a different format?

Seriously, though, where can one buy these in the States? Been looking everywhere. No distros, no shops, and not even any US-based online sellers that I've been able to find.

i don't know that you can unless your local store ordered them from wah wah. if you're serious about buying them, i would recommend buying them from norman records in the UK. they were great and a human answered my emails!

Noted. It's just, you know...shipping. Brutal.

Oh, I know! But if you want to receive the records, you have to pay to have someone carry them across the ocean.

I just feel like some joint getting wholesale prices (as such) would be selling these for like 35 USD as opposed to 45 USD. I shouldn't really be allowing myself to afford either of those prices, so $10 goes a pretty long way. Of course, that would-be store doesn't seem to exist, so here we are. Thanks for the advice, re: Norman Gonna feel so guilty, but it's gonna feel so good finally to hear the b-side of that Yun single after all these fucking years. I've never once found a copy!

Yeah it's gonna sting, but unless you enjoy making phone calls that lead nowhere and general disappointment, ordering from a source that you 100% know will deliver is better. Esp if you have been waiting that long! Geez.

as far as Hosianna Mantra goes, there isn't even a copy on Discogs. just get it from Norman, it'll be gone son.

SOON

ha, you got all sassy for a second there
