mountainhood

"Full Color comes in Heavy Weight Vinyl Sleeve with paper inner sleeve. Artifactual insert art affixed to sleeve and handcut to geologic proportions by John from Sunburned. Get it from Father Yod/Ecstatic Yod Collective"
Michael Curtis Hilde, a.k.a Mountainhood is an american singer, songwriter, and visual artist. Prior to performing and recording as Mountainhood, Hilde was at various times known as Almaden, Almaden Wood, or Almaden Wood and the Transplendence XIV. Though style and genre shift from album to album, it has been written that "This is introverted music played as the blues should be."

frank-o-fest

"Lovely, stoned/drifting improvs for digeridoo, pipe organ, sitar, sax, etc, led by John Frankovic, and played in a Milwaukee church by members of F/i, Plasticland, the Petals & the Violent Femmes. For reasons of perceived non-hipness, this is an album that slipped right through the cracks of most hipsters consciousness. I can only say that it is a gorgeous piece of late night listening and anyone who is into the Third Ear Band, Lola V. Stain, Annexus Quam, or other purveyors of hash-dappled chamber weirdom will find much to puff on here." - Father Yod
un episodio improvisado de humo cometido sobre la piedra fría de la tierra sagrada. un disco de Frank-o-Fest, marciano y espectacular, del que apenas existe información más allá del propio sello (la unión de father yod y ecstatic peace, propiedad de Thurston Moore) y con el que ya tienen el cielo ganado. free jazz, didjeridoo, improvisaciones, saxos y flautas de bambú, Finlandia, Hamid Drake, Peter Brötzmann, Pandit Pran Nath y sobre todo Rauhan Orkesteri. una vez que empieza 'One' (más de veinte minutos), la música avanza, se acelera, se desmadra...y desemboca sin que te dé tiempo a respirar en los ritmos tribales de 'Two' y el crescendo de 'Five'. tras las esquizofrenia, llega la calma, y el círculo se cierra con los cuatro minutos de didjeriddo de 'Six'.
the players were...
