i'm listening to autumn is the end and wow, so goodQUESTION -- are there albums where he (SRS) plays with drums?

― exciting vampire castle (NickB), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 15:25 (ten years ago) link

Steve Tibbets was the American PV IMO (I dunno if he does stuff anymore-- I'm referring to his ECM albums).

Years ago walking home from work I would periodically see this LaMonte Young looking dude playing this stain glass patterned butterfly shaped electric guitar through this (presumably) battery powered amp. He had the crappy built in amp chorus and reverb cranked all the way up, playing drifty noodly stuff with a cigarillo in his mouth. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this dude was the American Popol Vuh.

tlg -- no, but it's lovely! where did you find it?
i have come to the conclusion that steven r smith is the american popol vuh,

for all american popol vuh seekers, i strongly recommend chris forsyth's paranoid cat. the first and last songs in particular (paranoid cat 1-3 and anniversary day) for pure LT-LN outtakes. amazing! beautiful.

That kid is otm! Wish I had bought the lp at the show but the merch table was unmanned and I was embarrassed to ask anyone. Stupid!!
― we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
what's stupid is I saw that LP at the record store for $7(!) and didn't buy it then went back bc I was stupid and it was gone. then I went back weeks later and I found it stashed somewhere else in the store entirely. like in the techno section iirc? Odd. I bought it.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:48 (ten years ago) link
it's so good though right?! paranoid cat 1-3 sounds so much like LT-LN/Heart of Glass era PV to me.
― we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:51 (ten years ago) link
it's pretty incredible! I saw the forsyth self-titled recently but didnt get it. Probably should do that. Still have to get solar motel.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:58 (ten years ago) link
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???
― ian, Thursday, 13 March 2014 19:06 (ten years ago) link
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.
― JacobSanders, Thursday, 13 March 2014 19:22 (ten years ago) link
did robbie basho have a daniel fichelscher?

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.
― eardrum buzz aldrin (NickB), Thursday, 13 March 2014 19:38 (ten years ago) link
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
― faust apes (NickB), Saturday, 13 January 2018 21:14 (six years ago) link
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.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Saturday, 13 January 2018 21:45 (six years ago) link
there is some singing on it yes. not loads - most of its instrumental, but I think I quite like his voice anyhow
