s/d popol vuh

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.

i'm not sure this was ever posted? interview with valerio cosi, who is releasing Valerio Cosi plays Popol Vuh’ this month along with the reissues. he seems pretty good, i'll give it a chance.

Like to hear that

i wondered what is daniel fichelscher doing these days?
and i found this
he sounds great!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSGWFX84NkQ

seriously, dude tells some great stories
i'm not sure at what point in the interview he removes his shirt. but i've only watched a tiny portion of it so far

his drum noises around 11:50 is priceless!

At 19:50 he goes out for cigarettes, which presumably cost him his shirt.

isn't he delightful?!

my s/v agr error above is not so delightful but i can only blame myself for that

Amazing! Thanks, he does sound great! I love to hear him pronounce the album titles correctly, ha.

i feel that i can say several of them with confidence now! that's progress.

also, in case anyone cares, the guy at norman records has informed me that a "stickering delay" means that the records will arrive (and presumably be shipped) next week.

OMG OMG that was so great!!! I was about to leave work but I had to stay at my desk and watch the whole thing. It made me want to cry. That was actually some of the most concrete info about PV procedures we have had... Not much of it but still! How interesting that on tgeir first few collabs they tracked piano and drums together first and then added the rest. Ha and then when he talks abt the LPs that were the most his stuff he doesn't even mention Herz and Letzte which are by far the most guitargasmic.

also WKIW D Fichelser!

Also, and this is distressing, I realized I don't have Seligpreisung!

Seriously, his stories about their process were very enlightening!

Loved the bits about consonanten too.

hmmmm. continued "stickering issues" have delayed the delivery of my order from norman records. has anyone ordered from them before? they've answered all my emails (thanks, phil!) but i guess i'm feeling that charming combination of bummed and impatient.

i buy from them quite a bit and they've never let me down yet. pretty trustworthy imo, i don't think they'd be telling you any fibs

ok. that's what i needed to hear. their sales process was very reassuring in general, and they have answered all of my questions, so it's gonna be ok.

patience, patience!

i hope your order arrived

It has been shipped, but hasn't arrived yet. Can't wait!!

I've been thinking of D fichelscher saying "overdubs!" ever since I watched that interview/whatever that was.

just ordered these as well! excited!

Norman Records are great and very trustworthy.

my records are here! i'm going to make dinner and listen to one, not sure which one!!

:D

I've been listening to the Popol Vuh Werner Herzog box set on and off over a few months. That is just some intense music.

this man is not afraid of cymbals

Floor Tom is die Konsonanten, cymbal is der Vowel!
