    yeah Friedrichsain is a bit this way but its still a cool area, though xberg definately has more authentic feeling and more going on. it was all empty warehouses with stasi-era thin-walls and when the wall fell down half of xberg just flooded over the spree and took up shop. many squats, one...

    keith jarrett

    I was about to say - he performed the Gurdjieff/De Hartmann piano works. Nice stuff but for Gurdjieff pieces i suggest Vassilis Tsabropoulos's "Chants, Hymns and Dances" on ECM. Amazing, incredible stuff... For even more authenticity, Harmonic Development, Gurdjieff's eery Harmonium...

    I found book about old magick and here is some occult pictures

    for sure. The new-age movement you speak of is probably more so filled with close-minded ridiculousness than the secondary more centred paradigm you speak of because its sense of realism becomes bloated that it verges on the plain psychotic.

    Yea i never been able to get the old cassette tapes, 'acid memories' et al, but the two '..old tunes' collections have some reaaally awesome stuff which, although a little more 'dated, sometimes reaches on par with the best tracks on their later albums, plus it carries the spirit of 90s...
