I'm Gonna Take You Home
The story of Father Yod, Yahowa 13 and the Source Family could literally fill books, but rest assured, they truly were the "apex of high" in terms of psychedelic music. A tale that transcends conventional music history, this legendary collective represents one of the most radical experiments in communal living and cosmic sound ever documented. The basics paint an extraordinary picture: Father Yod was a WWII flying ace and spiritual seeker who gathered his "children" around him in early 1970s Los…

Lebensglut
Super Tip! Following Brannten Schnüre's definitive trilogy conclusion, Quirlschlängle continues its exploration of Central European cultural archaeology with Lebensglut (Life's Glow), a split album that examines four poets through remarkably different methodologies: Karl Wolfskehl, Stefan George, and Georg Trakl, all active in the early 20th century, alongside Julius Sturm, who had been active a century earlier and can be regarded as an early pioneer of Symbolist expression. Like Brannten Schnü…
Landschaft aus Tränen
The conclusion of a trilogy often reveals as much about artistic evolution as it does about thematic resolution. With “Landschaft aus Tränen”, Brannten Schnüre complete their three-album psychological cycle that began with 2019's “Erinnerungen an Gesichter”, marking both a compositional apex and a deliberate terminus for the project itself. Moving away from their signature “surreal folkcollage” approach, this represents Brannten Schnüre's most structured and emotionally resolved statement to dat…

New Vienna is the fourth concert recording to be released from Keith Jarrett’s final European solo tour. It follows Munich 2016, Budapest Concert and Bordeaux Concert. Why New Vienna?
