i'm really amazed at how good these albums are. and i've only got about half of them. apparently when you line all the cds up the spines will form an image which i believe is the same one of fricke on the back cover. the repetitive booklets seem kind of lazy but whatever.
anyone notice how Black Dice sound like "Affenstunde"?

the music for both films is credited to Fricke. and it's easily possible to imagine this piece made by Popol Vuh, although it doesn't sound quite like anything else I've heard by them. could it be the piece is by someone else? (if so, ideas please?!) however, similar chords seem to sound in some more Vuh-like music that appears later in Steiner - so maybe it's just an intro to a longer piece.
due to the number of comments all around (check internet) about unreleased Herzog Popol Vuh, I'm guessing the same piece struck a chord with others...

"YOGA is an unauthorized release. Some Indian musicians visited me in my studio, and somebody else took the tapes and sold them under the name of Popol Vuh, but it had nothing to do with Popol Vuh, really. I'm playing harmonium and organ. I think it was released in Italy."

that 'Train Through Time' track on the Affenstunde reissue I like better than the album!
the Aguirre bonus track is basically the title theme one more time with one extra overdub, probably not worth buying the album again if you've already got it, but I don't mind hearing it three times a sitting
very curious about that 70's Progressives compilation, someone figure out what that is and post back.
I still don't have all the 70's albums, I'm kind of spacing out the purchases at this point, savoring each new one. I just finally bought Hosianna Mantra, zero gravity

However, have heard good reports on "Messa Di Orfeo", which is from 1999ish, have never actually seen a copy tho.

Daniel Fichelscher's guitar playing is awesome and inspirational. Remember when ILM was informative ?

messa di orfeo is actually pretty good
― am0n, Friday, 1 June 2007 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Still not heard it. It's Florian tho and not Guido Hieronymous clogging everything up and ruining it?
― Tom D., Friday, 1 June 2007 14:34 (sixteen years ago) link
right
Messa di Orfeo (Spalax, 1998) documents a 1998 multimedia installation by Fricke (keyboards), Fiedler (video), Guillermina De Germano (vocals) and Maya Rose (vocals)

This reminds me that I gotta get Cobra Verde OST this month when my eMusic creds refresh.
The big question about Fichelscher is where the hell is he? What does he do with his hands instead of doing that Kleiner Krieger thang?
― Jon Lewis, Friday, 1 June 2007 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link
hey the search engine's finding this thread again, it was lost for a while. I was trying to wake it up to say how good Messa di Orfeo is.
the first time the recitational comes on, I thought 'ok I could listen to that woman's voice forever', and was happyy when it turns out they were thinking exactly the same thing. and the return to electronics really works -- the sampled crickets & insect harmonics are great. finally found a copy of the CD this weekend and the booklet's filled with color photos of the recording sessions & installation, including De Germano at the mic and a picture of the huge chorus.
also been listening to Hosianna Mantra a _lot_ these last few months. you really have to be in a wispy mood I guess but sometimes I think this one's my favorite
― Milton Parker, Friday, 1 June 2007 18:22 (sixteen years ago) link
lately i've been listening to: -bruder des schattens-sohne des lichts -Letzte Tage, Letzte Nächte -Herz aus Glas
that mid seventies stuff reallllly does it for me.
― ian, Friday, 1 June 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link
remembered to check for pv on emusic, got four albs, and the first three tracks of hosianna mantra have been blowing my mind all day
― 69, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 20:42 (sixteen years ago) link
i guess i gotta listen to that one again. My copy has a bit of surface noise and it always agitates me. Does emusic have Bruder des Schattens? That's my fave, probably.
― ian, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah it does - i ran out of DL's though before i could get it
― 69, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link
emusic has k-vuh.
Even Cobra Verde.
It's all in the recent remaster versions, which are not always superior to previous editions, but mostly fine.
