lyrics for new kosmische project

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

me me me

Tongebäude is a group of people that makes music: no music group.

I'll play overtone series on a one-string fretless!

i can read so i nominate myself for reading this while someone noodles on a machine:

When we think of melody, then we remember how we sang as children: without intention, just for their own happiness. Eventually we left off, like the children to sing. Today we get to that, as monstrous.

As long as you read it in a Renate Knaup accent

And finish it off with "My name is free your spirit pig (La Lechera), but most people call me La Lechera".

A short interview with Florian Fricke's widow

totally found out a guy down the street from me is super into popol vuh. which might not be that exciting to some of you, but out here it's a rarity.

That's a great interview.

"This was the first time I heard Florian on the piano. I was fascinated while listening to him play in that old empty mosque, where chickens and cats, our daily audience, ran through the building"

wow, i'll have to give myself time to absorb this. how lovely!

i skimmed the questions and liked this part because it's a little insignificant tidbit that probably only his wife would know Someone wrote to Florian. "My baby cried all night . I didn´t know what to do. But when I played Hosianna Mantra it stopped at once."

What I would really like to be republished are the videos Kailash and Sei Still, wisse ich Bin

Ok, right, *makes note*, "Kailash", that's a bit of PV knowledge i'm lacking

whole thing is on youtube:

Wow

no band footage by the looks of things. most of the music sounded v. familiar too

i'm at work atm so no way can i look at this right now but whoa

facebook page calling itself Popol Vuh announces this with no info about who is producing the "vinyls" or where they will be available

and some news:

POPOL VUH VINYLS OF THE FIRST 5 ORIGINAL ALBUMS

release september 2013

popol vuhnyls!

THIS IS INTERESTING
http://www.normanrecords.com/records/139653-popol-vuh--hosianna-mantra

is this a reputable reissue company?

second question: should i have my local store preorder these for me or should i do it myself? not buying them does not seem to be an option. don't know if i could forgive myself, have been waiting and searching for years, etc.

update
the reissue label appears to be wah wah supersonic sounds out of barcelona? http://www.wah-wahsupersonic.com/html/lps.html

sounds booty as all get out

i already called the store :-/
gotta call back tomorrow bc person today could not answer my question

ooooh wah wah... picked up some of their igor wakhevitch and heldon reissues and they sound real nice.

The likes of Phoenix, Bamboo, etc. tend not to have websites & never list contact details, so the presence of both here is promising at least.

wow, watching Kailash and it is gorgeous and intense

Yeah that guitar playing in the video is super sweet.

Well, it's not in the video, but soundtracking the end of it ...

i woke up thinking about these records and trying to choose the two i wanted most because buying them all is just ridiculous
hosianna mantra and in den garten won the mental race, but now i'm wondering if i just don't know the other two well enough

E & S is really cymbal crazy at the beginning!

btw dunno if you can see this dumb link but https://www.facebook.com/notes/wah-wah-discos/the-ultimate-popol-vuh-reissues-on-wah-wah-in-autumn/576259592396376
"In Den Gärten Pharaos" was originally issued in 1971, this time by Pilz, yet it wasn't precisely on the folk vein that Herr Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser was trying to keep the label into by those days. It's sound drinks directly from the same waters that brought Affenstunde, although there is a clear move towards some less dark passages, and the use of church organ as the main instrument, plus a first introduction into the ethnic music elements that Popol Vuh would soon mix into their cauldron bring new light to the sound.

Reissued from the master tapes in quality vinyl pressing, full glory laminated gatefold cover and featuring bonus, an insert with liners and photos. Liner notes by Popol Vuh expert Dolf Mulder (check his amazing site on the band at http://www.popolvuh.nl/).

Limited to 500 copies worlwide.

ARTIST : POPOL VUH
TITLE : IN DEN GÄRTEN PHARAOS
LABEL : WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS
CATALOGUE NUMBER : LPS117
FORMAT : LP + INSERT

Wah Wah is totally above board, and have been doing high quality reissues for years now. They did those "kraut folk" Lps like Broselmaschine, Holderlin etc a few years ago.. great records, and I think La Lechera might enjoy them.

popol vuh FOR LIFE

my store (finally called and talked to a human about this) didn't know what i was talking about but said they would call me back and took name/# but now i want to show them the label/catalogue number so they know that 1) i am not just some popol vuh crazy phone person and 2) they will order these records for me and spare me the hassle of intl shipping/receiving.

i'll write down those other names, thanks!

if your store can't get them, forced exposure always carries Wah Wah stuff.

Any US stores selling these? I kind of want to buy all five, but ~$50+ is a bit steep for me.

i don't know! the guy i talked to at the store hasn't called me and i have been resisting the urge to go back in there and bug him about it for the fourth time :-/

That's cheap, for a textbook.

I guess $50 is cheap when considering they're limited reissues. I just hate getting burned on conversion. It happens so often...

me too but i have considered it and i feel that i would play/cherish them enough to make it worth the extra oomph required to get one.
i've made three phone calls and a brick and mortar visit with the exclusive intent of getting my store to order one for me, but every time i talk to someone, they just take my deets and then no one ever calls me! it's like i am doing all the work and at this point. i have invested actual time in alerting them of the existence of these reissues and expressing my intent to buy them, what more do they want from me?!

at this point, i clearly must have them.

Release date is September 16 right?

link?

i mean should i just preorder from one of the UK stores and be done with it? i thought i was saving myself some effort going through my local store but that seems to not be the case.

*sigh*

I'll probably just go with two or three..

yeah i am gonna have to break it gently to my store guy if he ever calls me
i have birthday money to spend and i am not going to spend it on something that i don't really want because i waited for that dude to call me
if the store has one extra, someone will buy them, don't worry

Don't know if this is common knowledge, but Aphex Twin's Rephlex label was trying to license Affenstunde just before the new wave of CD reissues. Trivia, I know.
