An interesting album from Florian Fricke and company. Combines their recent foray into new age styled rock with guitar, percussion, and female wordless vocals - with their electronic oriented past. Somewhere between Das Hohelied Salomos (side 1) and Affenstunde (side 2). It's been suggested that this recording is a comp of sorts, given that Fricke no longer owned his big Moog at this point. Maybe Schulze let him borrow it... All the same, most of this was unreleased prior, with some reworkings of earlier material.
Ownership: LP: 1976 PDU. Single sleeve. Acquired from Jeff Baker many years ago (1990). Wonderful cover. Other than the front, the images on Discogs aren't well presented. I should update those with my copy.
CD: 2004 SPV. Digipak. With one bonus track that is essential. I've read that the long piece is slightly different here than on the LP. I listened to both, but you really have to pay attention I think. I didn't notice it. Comes with the all-purpose Florian Fricke booklet, though mine has 3 different pages than the one shown on Discogs. Wondering if the submitter had the wrong one, or if the label "mixed and matched" the booklets with their other Popol Vuh releases at the time.
1990; 6//05; 7/10/23 (new entry)
