Wow, I'll have to look for that. I like Solar Motel a lot, but that's on some motorik Neu!/Rhys Chatham tip.

is robbie basho the american popol vuh???

I'd say at the heart of both artist's endeavors that's pretty close. He has the intent and seriousness of Florian Fricke's mysticism. A friend who I tried playing both Basho and Popol Vuh for responded in a similar way to each, something about those guys are serious hippies.

Does anyone here like Atman? The Polish band that were on Drunken Fish that became the Magic Carpathians? Just listened to 'Personal Forest' again for the first in years and it sounded a lot better to me than I remembered. Think that listening to PV and other stuff in the interim has given me a much better understanding of where they were coming from.

No I guess he had no daniel fichelscher, the popol vuh record that brings to mind Basho the most is Yoga which isn't exactly a popol vuh record. But when I first heard it years ago it was sort of a revelation to me. Now that I know the story behind it, I still like it a lot. You would think there are more home recordings laying around somewhere?

I was pretty slow on this album but the Mark McGuire record ‘Beyond Belief’ from a couple of years back has got some beautiful and very Vuh-ish tracks on it

Have been working my way through his albums and they’re a lot more varied than I would’ve anticipated and that one is definitely my favourite so far
― faust apes (NickB), Saturday, 13 January 2018 21:15 (six years ago) link
has he stopped singing? the last time i listened to his music, he was singing and it was not my cup of tea. i like his guitar stuff though -- he definitely has an ear for the sublime.

there is some singing on it yes. not loads - most of its instrumental, but I think I quite like his voice anyhow
