An interesting piece of ritualistic German psychedelia. Organic instruments, such as guitars, flutes, and hand drums are offset by keyboards, electronics, and SFX that grant the otherwise pastoral sounds a heavily cosmic atmosphere. Over this, Golowin sporadically recites incantations in German. It's pretty far out there.
Track listing:
1. Der Reigen
2. Die Weisse Alm
3. Die Hoch-Zeit
The high celebration
Pretty trippy stuff! I found this description written by a guy who posted the album on Youtube:
ReplyDelete"The album was actually another pet project of German music maven R.U. Kaiser, the second in a series of Kosmische Musik collaborations after the hot mess of ASH RA TEMPEL's erratic "Seven Up" trip, alongside Timothy Leary. None of the music here was composed in a traditional sense. Instead, the album offers several long, more or less free-form instrumental meditations, improvised by the usual Cosmic Rock superstars (KLAUS SCHULZE; the WITTHÜSER & WESTRUPP duo; Jürgen Dollase and Jerry Berkers of WALLENSTEIN, so forth), with the 43-year old Golowin hired to orate a series of devotional soliloquies over the results."
Thanks for the share. Your blog is awesome.
Es ist schon erstaunlich, dass Jörg Mierke und sein Einfluss auf diese LP stets unterschlagen wird. Und das obwohl er maßgeblichen musikalischen Anteil hatte.
ReplyDeleteSchade eigentlich, wenngleich dies auf der Platte nicht zu überhören ist (direkt nachvollziehbar anhand der aufgelisteten Instrumente)
