ya but u like high contrast :[

mambo - I'm on it. Stand by

btw how the hell haven't we had a POLLpol Vuh thread? If no one starts one, I will.

Seriously mambo, if you have limited quantities please hold Seligpreusung, Hosianna and Einsjager for me if you can. I'll order this week...

lol @ "mambo" -- it's not my store like i work there, just my go-to local store -- you can order the records via their website i think or you could call the location if you are super concerned. not sure if they're open tomorrow or not. best of luck!

i have never considered polling PV because i don't want to be forced to choose.

I'm always torn about whether to explain the "show username" preference to people who obviously have it turned off and/or are unaware

but hey JD I like yr taste in music so what the hell

ha! Thanks. I can see the username, I just like writing 'mambo' ;)

Weird use of PV: Ah! in "Sightseers"

i have never considered polling PV because i don't want to be forced to choose.

Yeah, I'd probably vote either Aguirre or Hosianna Mantra, but there are so many great ones.

did this get posted?

Those are the same remasters as the SPV by the way. I have a few.

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

What's worth tracking down from the compilations? How much is there that didn't end up on the albums (or bonus tracks on the SPV releases)? This makes it sound like what's on Gesang der Gesänge isn't the same as the originals – is that true? Are there other things like that? Is Sing, for Song Drives Away the Wolves (also remixed, but not by Fricke) terrible?

I can't help you there, but i was looking at popol vuh compilations yesterday and this sleeve is pretty badass: http://www.thewaxfactor.com/images/popv.jpeg

I used to know the answer to that question re Sing, For Song... but it's gone now. Milan is a weird record label.

Ben Wheatley's black-hearted screwball comedy pastorale The Sightseers (2012), which I watched this weekend on NF streaming, makes wonderful use of "Ah!" from Hosianna Mantra.

(Alongside some Harmonia, Roedelius, and Neu).

Good film on its own terms and well worth watching, I should also say. Can't wait to see his A Field In England.

I picked up the new SPV reissues of Aguirre and Einsjager today (for a reasonable $10 each at Newbury Comics); so, looks like I can ditch my Spalax copies.
Don't hear much difference in sound if they were remastered (doubt it), but the packaging at least is way superior to Spalax (plus, it's nice to have Digipaks rather than standard jewel case).
Can't wait for them to do Letzte Tage - Letzte Naechte and the others...

... and, of course, the Spalax editions are now oop and rare w/different bonus tracks...

As I've said before, hold on to Spalax versions if you've got em. Some of the SPV are inferior in sound quality.

have there been any interviews/anything written at all about fichelscher recently, like after that thing that's up on youtube?
if so, will someone point me to them? make photocopies and messenger-pigeon them to me? he seemed pretty lively in that interview and i know he must be up to something and i would like to know what it is.

nothing? does anyone know what he's doing these days?

why doesn't anyone want to write about him?
also i would like to strongly recommend the soundtrack for A Field in England for PV fans. It's both light and heavy, super good.

If no one is writing about Danny somebody should at least interview Ben Wheatley about kosmische musik.

i'm within inches of asking the dude who posted the youtube interview whether or not there's more or how it happened or w/e
maybe i'll watch it again to make sure those are not stupid questions

I assume you have df google alerted to within an inch of his life and none of them traps have sprung

my google alerts have not yielded the fruit i am looking for
they hardly ever do tbh!

david stubbs on pv/herzog for those what missed it:
http://thequietus.com/articles/16110-herzog-popol-vuh-overview

man everyone focuses on fricke and herzog
thx for posting!

i found at least one popul in there though :-/
Fricke and Vuh did further great work on Heart Of Glass (1976), in which guitarist Danny’s Fichelscher’s playing comes to the fore - by this point, Popul Vuh were more conventionally “rock”, though as Klaus Schulze observed, Fricke’s compositions still followed “electronic patterns” in their structures.

i listened to gila's "bury my heart at wounded knee" mostly for the fichelscher connection -- pretty good!

ooh love that one!!

while we were at my mom's house we watched a nature docu on cable in the Globe Trekkers series-- the episode was called Planet of the Apes and during the section on Orangutans there was this processional acoustic guitar stuff that gave me a really nice elevated Vuh-ish feeling. The episode had like 10 composers listed though, no chance I'll ever track that cue down.

1973 soundboard!

http://shardsofbeauty.blogspot.com/

niiiiice! thanks!

actually it might be a good audience recording, there is a lot of accompanying info

this is great! yeah hazy sound is more likely an audience recording (maybe there wasn't even really a "soundboard" per se) but the haziness is nice.

i saw this yesterday and today i remembered to click on it and it's asking me to "click here for downloader" and i feel like i am 500 years old pls send help bc i want to hear this!

i thought i posted that boot for y'all upthread. maybe it was another one

i have a couple live boots, one is "1973 baumberg kirche germany" and the other is from 1976 with some live roberto cacciapaglia(!)

whoops! yeah this is the church one

it's in FLAC if that makes a difference to anyone

i can put the 76 one up again if anyone needs it

i saw this yesterday and today i remembered to click on it and it's asking me to "click here for downloader" and i feel like i am 500 years old pls send help bc i want to hear this!

when i first clicked on it there was a "use sendspace downloader" box that i had to uncheck. i can't see the checkbox anymore though.

xp i'd like to hear that!

Yes pls!!

LL just be sure to uncheck the 'use sendspace downloader' box. And then on the next screen click the 'download from sendspace' thing and not the fake generic download thing.

I'm intrigued by the annotated discography included in this package! It's over 100 pgs long!

now it says service temp unavailable?

I'll see what's up later this afternoon LL, I can always mail you a CD if it comes to that

Sendspace maxes out at 25 downloads iirc, I had to use it b/c of file size

haha
ok :)
thank you
