(Don't get me started on Jimmy Jackson's Choir Organ)

Roguelike dungeon crawl games, ILX Zing Touch, fun synth and drum machine simulators, that's all I got so far.

xpost actually no why don't you get started on Jimmy Jackson's Choir Organ? I know nothing!

...also first Amon Duul II review here

(I love that Planet Mellotron site!)

oh man its the same instrument as on Wolf City!!!

Also, thanks a lot cause now I'm going to be saying

HABOOB

in my head all day...

Yes, it's a distinctive sound tho I'm not convinced it's not just a (perhaps malfunctioning) mellotron (xp) Haboob have an album too, which is fitfully entertaining, Choir Organ shamefully underused (I can hear it on one track only)

Does anyone know anything about the supposed 5 PV vinyl reissues? I saw something on their lol facebook page, but I have no idea who operates that or how much they know about what's going on. The Affenstunde reissue has not let me down AT ALL. It sounds great. In fact, now I truly understand why it's called Affenstunde.

oh, that's great to hear about affenstunde! was wondering if I should pick that up and I think you just helped me get to the bottom of that little dilemma.

Will someone please tell me what is up with these Japanese reissues? All the facebook page says is "watch out for them now!" and that is not helping...

This image is all I have been able to find (haven't looked very hard, admittedly)

the LT-LN cover is giving me a heart attack
WANT

i still can't find anything

'Die Erde Und Ich Sind Eins' is about to hit the blogs! Give it a week or so.

What does that mean?

Privately produced album long sought after by sad people like me

Who's sad? What's sad?! Will someone let me know when this exciting thing happens?

I think it's an album of vocal pieces, perhaps like e.g. "Song of Earth" on "Spirit of Peace"?

Ooh that sounds great.

hey wait a second, did this happen?

Good question, to the internet to find out

i did a quick search around for it last week, but came up with zilch! maybe call the cops has the details?

Awesome is the operative word

Yeah, too cool!

thank you! i finally had time to figure out how to hear this and it totally sounds like it should have a herzog voiceover talking about cave-dwelling glow worms and their mating habits or something. also reminds me of ernst reijseger a little now that i think about it. anyone know what/where the picture on the cover is?

No idea. Spooky music!

ok good i thought i was being a chicken
it sounds more like lost souls than people at one with the earth

I Am At One With The Earth - And It Is Totally Freaky

Who are the singers?

Well it looks like it's Vocals – Anni Morris Wieland, Bettina Fricke Waldthausend*, Dieter Prym, Florian Fricke, Friedemann Berger, Friedemann Wieland, Gisela Von Doering, Ingeborg Jahnke, Jan Lorck-Shjmerning, Jana Faust, Karl F. Weber, Klaudia Wieland

wait -- "song of the earth" is "agnus dei"?
i have googled and found nothing about this release that i understand fully

It's the same tune, yes. He was fond of it and who can blame him? Interestingly, or maybe not, some of this reminded me of, respectively, Stockhausen's "Atmen gibt das Leben" and Cornelius Cardew's "The Great Learning", both of which were composed for choirs of "amateurs".

love cardew

and thanks for the upload CtC

^ yes, thanks -- while listening I felt like I was doing dishes in the catacombs.

Pleasure

I wish that I could read/speak/understand German, but I don't. Relying on google translate has, as usual, produced nothing but pure gold while trying to understand what is going on here http://www.popolvuh.nl/archsounds1971
this is just the first two lines

Popol Vuh is a group of people that makes music: no music group.
Popol Vuh is a group of people who live together and spend most of their time trying to make music.

We do not see ourselves as musicians, but as people whose decision it was, what they feel and what they can feel, say in music. The belief in mediation and communication is our faith in music. The music that we make, arising from the recollection in which we willfully to learn with a desire to enter.

just one more! the end of the first paragraph

We learn to understand our imagination, we take it, we live it. Our music and its conversion to convey this way: The traumatic life, the unconscious rooms. So our music has necessarily to lean more-without reference to the music of the indigenous people in them. We are going to find our own way a meditation form that comes from our culture. We encounter the unconscious with our consciousness, we fall out of time and stretch this moment.

i take it back -- not sharing this would be selfish

The group lives in Peter churches in Wasserburg, in an old vicarage. This presbytery has become a creative human settlement.
We're in the middle of the court music. By the time there, a sound space as an egg on the images of Hyronymus Bosch.
The Moog synthesizer allows to create any sound even imaginary. This first is a danger: In the, in his Vermittluing yet unexplored medium - music - is the MOOG machine an incredibly perfect instrument to mental influence, because the processes are right: A pressed sound conveys feelings pressed, a sound open the possibility to relax, to find a creative peace.
We work - in our understanding - not with tones, but with the entire Tongebäude the overtone series. Thus, the concrete sound is never limited in his room, he is related to him how the consciousness to the subconscious, he acts in it, as the center of the circle in the district. We are not trying to produce vibrations that result from a musical product, we have been working with vibrations as the starting material. This music conveys more directly than speak any other music before: The vibrations come straight to the listener.

Two up thumbs!

I am happy to know the german word for the overtone series now!

Computer translated Fricke is its own kind of magic. Not sure why this isn't being recycled as spoken word poetry or sthg?!

lyrics for new kosmische project

Tongebäude! Who wants to start this band with me...?
