If wordless vocals are your cup of tea, you are in for a real treat. Sascha
Burland composed. He's half of those beatnik rodents, the Nutty Squirrels
:)
Also, an adjustment has been made regarding the encoding of the MP3's which
should result in slightly better sound and a smaller file size. Especially
in this case as it's a mono LP and encoded mono. Rather than using a
Constant Bitrate (CBR), I'm now using a Variable Bitrate (VBR). Let me know
if you notice any differences.
enjoy!

woooh... spooky. It's interesting how you cannot see things the same as you used to, even any ordinary skyline suddenly looks somewhat suspicious. It shows how relative interpretations are, how subjective and how dependent on pre-information. I remember we discussed this point on numerous occasions when we couldn't agree on what Exotica really is, wether it's simply innocent folkloristic or colonialistic exploitation and so on. It's all based on personal background how you see something. And these Sept11 events seem to show it better than anything else. We are lucky that the present wave of terrorists don't pray to Tiki and listen to Hawaiian music...

@ Sitar-laced strangeness:
Last night someone played Tony Scott's Music For Yoga Meditation in a new club. It sounded damn great. I only knew Scott's Zen Meditation before, but Yoga has a lot of Sitar and it seems to be incredible. I have to get it somehow... Mr. Hip... you don't happen to own this album, do you?

NO we're not ! Even the Hawaiian god(s) of War never came up with some
loopy-headed bullshit like these professional, cold calculating assassins
did. MAYBE if the Al-Queda terror network could just light those tiki
torches, put on those Billy Mure records, make with the Hawaiian shirts,
wrap a couple of floral lei's around their necks, dip into the pu-pu
platter, and get properly besotted with some flaming drinks, there'd be
about 6,000 more living people, two grotesque skyscrapers, and curbside
check-in like there used to be !

Yep, but I'm really starting to like mondays now. These downloads are a
great start of the week.

can guitarist michael karoli died unexpectedly this morning in his home while playing on his favorite instrument. in the last weeks we often had telephoned together in which he expressed how lucky he felt that our ways were crossing when he still was at school. in may 1966 i became a music teacher in the same school. and as i hadn't any professional training i gave a test lesson to that class where he was sitting as a pupil. the director told me to leave the room for a moment while he was speaking to the pupils what they were thinking of me becoming their teacher. michael told me later that he especially favored this idea which practically meant that i was earning a salary each month, my first - and last too. at that time he took some guitar lessons from me but frankly speaking i could at least learn as much from him as he could learn from me. after leaving the school we kept staying in contact roughly thinking what our future could become while working together on a piece by !
!
bix beiderbecker "in a mist" - a premonition to can's "mushroom". micki later commented this recording that it reminded him of the atmosphere in chicago during winter time and of "in a mist".
last time we worked intensively together was on can's "rite time" album from 1987 till 89 which we both produced. about a month ago we phoned each other to arrange a video interview date where we wanted to go through our common history. he suggested to wait a bit longer as it would appear to him speaking out his final testament. thinking of his young children he tried to avoid this thought as they strongly needed the father.
this afternoon i tried to confirm a date, a few hours too late. michael was the most intelligent guy of us all to say the least.
