"'The White Man goes into his church and talks about Jesus. The Indian goes into his tipi and talks with Jesus.' A classical antiquity education consisted of mathematics, geometry, music and astronomy. But it is music that stands eternal beyond all others as the original and eternal language of human transcendence, out-dating the development of sophisticated linguistics. The West very quickly lost sight of its transformative, physical attributes, damning it along with the body to the realm of accidental human traits never to muddle with the higher pursuits of the soul. We can't really blame Plato for that, but then, would he be capable of grasping the rites of a Southwestern American Indian medicine ceremony? Probably much better than most of us in the 'modern world' today. All we know is that somewhere along the way technological man lost his power to wield magic, something that we have constantly tried to reclaim through musical expropriation, assimilation and cultural tourism. The medicine man with his peyote is infinitely more knowledgeable than any well-versed technocrat, and it is that original knowledge that we problematically seek---problematically because we have, in one way or another, passively or actively aided in its extermination. We long for a way to end the mind as an intellectually-entangled barrier, to open it up to the real visceral contact with truth and spirituality we can't find in church, at school, at home or even with our families. It is an envy we have murdered for, and will do so again soon. But it is the only form of communication that we actually understand innately, and it is that desire to return that has fueled our efforts to reconnect once more. Perhaps one day we'll learn not just to talk to Jesus, or Allah, or Shiva, but to ourselves and to each other as well, sincerely, on two feet, to seize the divine from the far reaches of the stars and to bring it down to earth to dance, play and sing in a new form of ritual that thirsts for blood no more. This 12" is the 1st installment of a new series exploring psychedelia, psychedelics, musical rite and the Peyote rituals of the American Indian Church." Silkscreened front cover.

YAHOWHA 013EP
|
"Most-sincere moments of unmediated clarity/genius from improvisational psych-rock collective Ya Ho Wa 13. Father Yod's spiritual encirclement and their well-jocked music tends to be discombobulated at best, but these songs record a very different story: brahmanic ascension, heart-wrenching expression, a beautiful simplicity and sincerity that shines through immediately and captivates with our first utterances of astonishment. This, my children, is the real art. 'Pain' & 'A Thousand Sighs' can go blow for blow with the most celebrated of the 1970's rock/psych/experimental cannon, moments of revelation that break through the cult of personality and attempt something much more universal than a simple exercise in improvisation. An essential release."

"Pekka Airaksinen started making music in the late 1960s with the group the Sperm, combining performance art with experimental music of the day. With influences such as John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen, the Sperm combined free jazz and psychedelic pop to create a sound resembling early industrial music and noise. After the Sperm's breakup in the '70s, Pekka Airaksinen became a Buddhist and would stop releasing music for almost a decade. Airaksinen, who was regarded as a recluse, returned to the public eye in the mid-80s under his own name and with a brand new but equally futuristic vision. His album Buddhas of Golden Light is an incredible mixture of Sun Ra's cosmic free jazz and twisted rhythms programmed on a Roland 808 drum machine. At the end of the decade techno elevated the 808 to a fetish object and Airaksinen disappeared for another five years. In the '90s Airaksinen released a large number of CD's and CD-R's on his own Dharmakustannus label, on which the style of each track varied wildly - breaking every rule of the niche-group marketing concepts of the era. All his recordings, whether they are his unique interpretations of contemporary music, new age, ambient house or jazz, are characterized by a sense of improvisation and casual roughness that is rare in electronic music. The most avant-garde pieces of his recent output continue his earlier work with the imaginary 'anthropoid music' of the future. One Point Music is his shining moment. Originally pressed in an edition of 120, this reissue has been needed for a long time." Includes an insert with Ilpo Saunio.
