the Solaris soundtrack did a similar thing last year.

there was also a third, on the same label as the first, with a different focus

ha that foreshadows some classic popol/popul spelling issues

Spent a while trying to find definitive 'Stalker' sdtrk, to no avail.

review of the new thing over on pfork: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20242-kailash/
gotta get this

so what's the deal with Waxwork? Good sound quality/pressing quality? Their Phase IV release is vinyl and soundcloud only, apparently, which gives me a sadness-- I'd like to pay money for a high quality MP3 version instead of being stuck with the low bitrate version I had to use a plugin to download off soundcloud.

The dueling Nosferatus remind me of the separate reissues of HNAS's Im Schatten Der Möhre that both appeared in 2002. I picked up Heemann's Streamline edition too early and missed out on the bonus tracks on the Dom version. Meh.

haha ILXmail me if you want that, I snapped them all up

the year of the vuh is upon us

http://exclaim.ca/Music/article/popol_vuh_treated_to_new_batch_of_vinyl_reissues

my first wish listed above has been granted
aleluia!

kind of excited about these reissues, but I fear they will cost like $37 each

aw come on, those Wah Wah LPs were only like $28 ;)

at least this time i can avoid making 1000 phone calls to the record store about it
that's something

happy vuh year

i see what vuh did there

been into agape agape and sei still wisse ich bin quite a bit lately -- the versions i have downloaded of both sound like cassette tape rips and the wobbly sound adds to the overall weird occult hieratic recorded-in-an-enormous-cave-ness

I've never found his and Enzo Franchini's A Sacred Homage to Florian Fricket, but Valerio Cosi's latest is pretty easy to find and to hear. Hit or miss, I think. But pretty novel.

Don't worry I think we know who you meant!

For years and years and years I was looking for the Djong Yun "Du sollst lieben"/"Ave Maria" single. Thanks to that Wah Wah reissue of Hosianna Mantra, I finally got the chance to hear "Du sollst lieben." Maybe not as good to hear it as it had been to imagine hearing it, but I'm a better and more complete person for finally seeing what was up. Well, I still periodically look around to see if any OGs show up. Before the reissue, I can't even imagine how much money one would've been. To this day, I've never found one. And I didn't know, until today, that this existed:

That is a CD version of the single. One of the Japanese mini-LP deals. Stunned to find it. Two songs. $110. In 2015. The repress is easily found. I guess I'm just really glad I never had to spring for the 7" by selling a few of my internal organs. Fuck.

Is there some site that comprehensively cross-references Popol Vuh tracks? Some of the stuff on the second disc of Kailash sounds really familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it before. There was a previously released version of "The Garden Morya" (the one with chanting) where a terrible beat comes in (maybe on City Raga?) – is this raw material that was later remixed by Guido Hieronymous?

Also confused about all the versions of "Spirit of Peace" – the version on the Celestial Harmonies In the Gardens of the Pharao is two minutes longer than the Kailash version.

There are what sound like slowed down renditions of "Aguirre" on disc 2

finally got the kailash thing on soul jazz -- totally great. only bummer is the diginoise that seems to be happening on the first disc's mahayana ... is that just the recording? or is it some flaw... too bad, totally lovely track otherwise.
haven't watched the DVD yet!

i need to buy that!! i've been slacking on my PV fanship

yeah i'm glad i shelled out for it... sending me on a popol vuh bender now.

I got to walk up this very trail last week! I had my headphones, but I forgot to load up Aguirre before I left so I had to settle for Seligpreisung.

whoa that must've been awesome! pics?
i think that is my favorite scene in any movie.

Unbearably dreamy, what a life!!

that's so great. I really wanted to see the cloud forest side of Peru when I was there, but never had time.

so nice!

From the left, from the entrance of Machu Picchu with Huayna Picchu peeking out of the clouds, then just past the Huayna entrance gate (match with around the 2:00 mark of that video), and finally about 1/3-1/2 way up the trail looking down on Machu Picchu. I ascended in a very dreamy state. To make it to the Huayna Picchu gate by seven am, you have to wake up around four in the morning. It was just like in the movie, all wreathed in roiling mists and lush foliage. Just getting there, even with the trains and buses, is physically taxing enough to strip away a lot of your psyche. The ascent is ~1,000 feet in one mile of distance, from about 7,900ft up to 8,900ft. I listened to music all the way up.

are you on the Inca Trail? sure sounds like it!

what I noticed there was how clear the sounds are from the valley below

Nah, one of my traveling companions has a bad back and wasn't up for the Inca Trail. We took the train from Cusco into Aguas Calientes. The Irish pub in Cusco had Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo posters in it!

Sounds awesome. I'd be happy to give you more Sacred Valley travel tips over here:

TITTW sleeve goes to Peru

oh hey, that was your thread! unfortunately I'm back home in Texas now, but I read through that with great interest the other night : )

Loving this revive

yeah, you guys got me daydreaming

lol

heh heh, it's a picture of Can

ooh great news

haha that's what i thought
cmon people

some light in the attic intern is getting his ass handed to him right now!!!
but seriously it is good news - if they're distro-ing, the vuh reissues might be easier to find.

looks like they brought a beehive to the practice space

Crazy German longhairs all look the same, amirite?

Contact mic on an apiary, that's an old stockhausen trick cmon guys. Zzzzzzzzzzz

Foreground: a shirtless, ripped Djong Yun

to be fair, that pic does come up if you GIS Popol Vuh Band, and it is misattributed in the link as being Can
