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.

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:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Popol-Vuh-Djong-Yun-Ave-Maria-CDep-Japan-Mini-LP-cd-florian-flicke-tangerine-Q-/371285535547?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item567257ab3b
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 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.

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
― sleeve, Tuesday, 26 May 2015 20:10 (nine years ago) link
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!

i was just googling around to see when/if that big batch of reissues was released yet and i found this, which sounds almost exactly like "in deine hande" from LT-LNwhat other greek music sounds like this??! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILSXxrLcSV4

Thank you for Nikos Xylouris! Listening to Youtubes now.
Also: "Psaronikos is a nickname as it is customary for people in Anogeia to have. His grandfather was Psarantonis. His grandfather kept company with a group of five or six men who stole from the Turks. As he was the fastest runner in the group, when they met with Turks he was running very fast and he could catch all of them as if they were fish. So, first he was given the name Fishturk (Greek: 'Ψαρότουρκος') and then the nickname Psarantonis. That is how all family male members after him were nicknamed Psaronikos, Psarogiorgis, Psarantonis etc."

ok two things:
1) the video interview with d fichelscher has been removed from youtube afaict; that was the closest i had gotten to knowing that he was still alive and well. my google alerts for him haven't produced much beyond news of upcoming reissues. does anyone know how to confirm that he is alive and well? i feel like this thread is more of a global hub of PV fans than i'm likely to find elsewhere, so why not ask.
2) what's up with those reissues anyway? waxworks was all excited about them, but i haven't seen anything since. i checked last week and just that instagram post came up. am i missing something? LT-LN is about to turn 40 next year :)

months ago i preordered the wah wah reissue of nosferatu because 1) i couldn't resist and 2) there is bonus material that i don't have and it arrived today!! i am not into packaging but since i paid a zillion dollars for this, i'm glad that the posters (there are 2) are pretty cool (not just pics of the band, esp the ones i've seen a zillion times) and the LPs themselves are red
so excited!! no more weekly emails from phil at norman records about my order. i'll probably not miss deleting those too much but they continued to give me hope that the day would arrive when i could finally cradle my wampyr recordtoday!

New reissues are all in at Fusetron, in case anybody was wondering. $31/32 for everything but the Nosferatu double, which is $45.
