Get Ceremony by this Japanese band called People

What's that? I'm having trouble digging anything up through google for obvious reasons.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Monday, 24 October 2005 04:38 (eighteen years ago) link

It was released by a Japanese label called Teichiku in 2000. Full title may be Ceremony~Buddha Meet Rock. Hope that helps.

Ceremony is part of the Lover Creation Series, it says here on the cover, so you know it's amazing. ;-)

Some Coil perhaps? Not too familiar with their post-ca-1993 output, but the few tracks I've heard from this period may fit.

On the ambient/electronic front, I'd recommend Substrata by Biosphere. It was inspired by his trip to Tibet and the Himalayas, though it has no actual samples from there; he said he'd rather rely on his memories of the place and convey them through his own methods, which seem like a good way of reproducing such moods. Banco de Gaia takes more obvious approach - mixing world music samples with trancey/ambient electronic music - but at times he still manages to nail it, especially on Last Train to Lhasa.

I'm pretty sure you weren't talking about mystical values in the lyrics, but you might still want to check out Wordpower Vol. 2: Directrix by Divine Styler. It mixes Islamic mysticism (not some Five Percent rhetorics, rather than deep metaphysical Dervish shit) with weird sci-fi imagery, and the result is quite unique.

Flower Travellin Band Satori
I'm sure some Sun City Girls will fit the bill, but not sure what.

― mcd (mcd), Monday, 24 October 2005 14:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, for Sun City Girls definitely go for "Bright Surroundings" or "Torch Of The Mystics".

and ynf pretty much OTM way upthread.. i'd personally also highly endorse the malachi album, which is a little-discussed gem of jew's harp/guitar float inna sixorgans styleee. some connection to the first Red Krayola album, i'm told?

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Monday, 24 October 2005 15:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Excepter's "Throne" is some nice sub-apocalyptic drone w/ Bible verses in the liner notes.

looking for records that feel/sound mystical
i guess other raga rock stuff
electronic/non-electronic, drone/non-drone

mysticism and cult-involvement are plusses

Absolutely everything they did but, in particular:

... even better if you can get the film that accompanies it

Graham Bond - Holy Magick/We Put Our Magick On You

― Complete Jackass, Thursday, 27 October 2005 19:58 (eighteen years ago) link

have you heard the August Born record? Thoughts?

i like it, but it's definitely weaker than i was expecting overall.

i'd personally also highly endorse the malachi album [...] some connection to the first Red Krayola album, i'm told?

yeah, the jews harp player was apparently the bassist on the first couple of c/krayola albums...

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Thursday, 27 October 2005 23:48 (eighteen years ago) link

ten months pass...

Speaking of jews harp, I recommend this album, Magic Alphabet by Daniel Higgs - it's entirely jews harp improvisations. I'm not familiar with the band he was in, Lungfish, they may fit the bill here too.

I experience Folke Rabe's What? (re-released on Jim O'Rourke's Dexter's Cigar label) to have a mystical feel... it's two drone pieces, one the same piece at half speed... done in 1967.

Really been getting into the Third Ear Band's selftitled second album from 1970. Wow.
Also I find some of the most deeply entrancing magic music for me is actually Kraftwerk... especially Autobahn.

Also make sure to check out Antony Milton's amazing Pseudoarcana label.

Jesus was way cool
Everybody liked Jesus
Everybody wanted to hang out with him
Anything he wanted to do, he did
He turned water into wine
And if he wanted to
He could have turned wheat into marijuana
Or sugar into cocaine
Or vitamin pills into amphetamines

He walked on the water
And swam on the land
He would tell these stories
And people would listen
He was really cool

If you were blind or lame
You just went to Jesus
And he would put his hands on you
And you would be healed
That's so cool

He could've played guitar better than Hendrix
He could've told the future
He could've baked the most delicious cake in the world
He could've scored more goals than Wayne Gretzky
He could've danced better than Barishnikov
Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of
Jesus was way cool

He told people to eat his body and drink his blood
That's so cool
Jesus was so cool
But then some people got jealous of how cool he was
So they killed him
But then he rose from the dead
He rose from the dead, danced around
Then went up to heaven
I mean, that's so cool
Jesus was way cool

No wonder there are so many Christians

"Sirenes" by Debussy seconded. Gorgeous.

Also,
