Heaven & Earth as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori

Alguns amigos (e só os amigos tem esse jeitão de falar) dizem que este lobo sem noção consegue achar algumas coisas difíceis no mundo da música e postar neste canto que carinhosamente chamamos de "alcatéia"

Não é a verdade verdadeira, prq eu na realidade como todo animal que se preza fuço e muito e o pouco conhecimento adquirido com o tempo, a proximidade do cenário musical e algumas boas amizades completam o quadro como um todo.

Neste caso não foi diferente e até curioso pelo menos pra mim.

Alguns torcem seus narizes (né ZM e RV?) pro Bon Jovi mas um dos melhores guitarristas de blues rock de todos os tempos está com ele desde o principio e diz pra todos ouvirem: "só estou vivo graças a ele" (devido ao alcoolismo Richie Sambora tem problemas seríssimos e o Bon Jovi cuida dele melhor que o Mick cuida do Richards, prq o interna, desintoxica e ele passa períodos longos afastado da mardita, enquanto o Keith quase nunca para...) e justamente procurando um som do Purple pra ouvir "when a blind man cries", acabei achando uma versão com o Sambora!!!!!!!

Porra, eu conheço o trabalho solo dele, seus discos e participações mas não tinha ainda ouvido ele mandando ver num clássico do Purple e ainda a que ficou fora do Machine Head por implicância do chato do Blackmore e que é de uma profundidade que me faz muito bem qdo mais deprê.

Ouvi, gostei e fui procurar de onde vinha este trabalho e encontro o SS (quem?) junto ao Onori num trabalho que sei lá de onde veio; mas o nome não me era estranho e fuçando mais um pouco lembrei que ele participa de uma das versões da banda Sweet (pra muitos cabe aqui tb "quem???"rs) mais uma banda de rock dos anos 70 que se dissolveu na panacéia dos loucos anos e infelizmente não teve a devida fama e talento reconhecidos mas ainda está na estrada e chegou a ter 03 versões por falta de uma.

Claro e óbvio que fui atrás, baixei, e gostei, prq além do Sambora (que repito e insisto, é um dos melhores guitarristas de todos os tempos, cultuado de BBKing à John Lee Hooker e participante de inúmeros trabalhos como este só que devidamente estigmatizado por causa do Bon Jovi, que ainda posto e discutimos sobre ok?) tem uma infinidade de feras e meu batera preferido Carmine Appice um monstro nas baquetas e junto a ele outros como Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt/The Cutt, Quiet Riot, Bad Boyz, and Shortino) e Howard Leese (Bad Company) só pra citar alguns.

Espero que deixem seus preconceitos de lado e aproveitem um belo disco pra se passar o tempo e ouvir uma rapaziada de primeiro nível juntos fazendo o que gostam e cantando e tocando clássicos de outrem e assim segue esse lobo sem juízo mundo afora em busca da essência.....ah achei desnecessário citar Glenn Hughes ou JLTunner e etc ficaria por demais extenso.Heaven & Earth has been put on hiatus as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bass player/vocalist Steve Priest to reform Sweet. They are in the process of booking their Summer tour and intend to come over to Europe in the new year.

The Who and The Grateful Dead "Rockpalast 81" by Poucosiso

Jerry Garcia sempre me lembra Jolly Joker e que pena que sumiu de novo, pelo menos eu não achei, tô no aguardo do email que ele sempre manda qdo muda de endereço, mas que puta perseguição do cacete!!!!

The Who pra mim era John Entwistle, um dos melhores baixistas do mundo e ponto, o Daltrey é um puta vocal e etc e tal mas nada supera pra mim os acordes dele na banda como um todo, um mestre.

E aqui nosso irmão sem noção Poucosiso nos traz os dois juntos na famosa apresentação ao vivo/televisão da Rockpalast, um marco (foi sem querer mas agora com o euro nem dá pra brincar) real e efetivo que até hoje tem seguidores mundo afora de todas as idades e de todos os cantos do mundo.

Tô puto prq a porra da telefonica me deixou sem speedy desde sábado e qdo vc atrasa a conta eles cortam, mas qdo eles te deixam sem serviço vc não recebe nada em troca; só as respostas de sempre, mas um paisinho de merda onde o CQC pergunta pra bandida da politica filha do ex poseroso de brasilia, se rico e políticos são livres da lei mesmo roubando e a resposta da sem vergonha cercada de seguranças e entrando em um puta carro de luxo é " DEVE SER"!!!!! esperar o que?

Ainda bem que temos ainda um pouco de música até que nos mandem pra algum gulag por aí prq que existem existem, só mudaram de forma e administração.
Ah telefonica dos infernos!!!!!!!!

O negócio é baixar o show enquanto ainda tem o link, o blog e o maninho doido com boa vontade pra nos brindar com o trabalho.In March of 1981 I landed in London on tour with the band that my dad, Bill, was a founding member of, the Grateful Dead. The Dead were in England to play a four night run at the Rainbow Theatre as part of a short European trip.

That came about because Pete Townshend had phoned Jerry Garcia and asked the band to play with The Who on a German television show called Rockpalast.

As odd as the pairing of these two 60s bands seemed, they had worked together before and the groups had a respect for each other, particularly Townshend and Garcia, who seemed to be two sides of the same 60s rock legend coin.

As the Rockpalast show neared the old stories started coming out. The Who and the Dead first met in 1967 when they both played at the Monterey Pop Festival. The Dead had the misfortune of having to go on between The Who and Jimi Hendrix!In a 1994 interview Jerry Garcia recalls meeting The Who at Monterey:

We were scheduled to go on after The Who. They had been out at our motel all the previous night trying to get Pigpen (original Dead member) to come out.
'Cause they’d heard about Pigpen and they wanted to party with the Pig.
He wasn’t having any, he wasn’t opening the door for no English guys.
Anyway, we’d heard a little about The Who by reputation but we had no idea what their act was like.

So we’re standing there watchin’ and their music is good, they’re playing solid and Daltrey’s singing good.
Then they do ‘My Generation’ and do their destructo routine.

We didn’t realize they’d made an art of blowing shit up. It wasn’t just something they did, they were good at it.
So we’re standing there amidst the debris and smoke and it’s time for us to go on.
I don’t think anybody even saw us, they were still recovering from The Who.

So we went on and played our set and then Jimi came on and just annihilated the place and then he destroyed all his shit, too.
We might as well not have been there.By the time 1976 rolled around both bands had achieved the unthinkable and remained together as groups, working night after night on the road since the mid-sixties.

The two Day On The Green shows, put on by Bill Graham, were my first introduction to The Who.

Even though I was only 7 years of age I already had a frightful impression of these crazy hotel wreckers from England. My dad had to pull me from behind his leg, which I’d been using to hide behind, in order to introduce me to Keith Moon.

To my surprise he seemed very sweet as he bent down so he could shake my hand and say hello.

In the dressing room the two bands traded war stories. The Dead’s other guitarist Bob Weir asked Moon if it was true that he had driven a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool and Keith said “If you’ve got it, sink it.”After the Dead’s set the second day Pete came up to Jerry and told him that he was amazed that after watching two different shows the Dead had not repeated one song.

The Who had been doing the same show for the last year and a half, Townshend told him.

Sitting on my dad’s shoulders as The Who started playing, I got the feeling one gets just before a roller coaster ride speeds up.

From my angle I could see WHO written in bold letters on the top of Pete’s amp and watched wide eyed when Keith stood on top of his massive drum set.

Before The Who’s encore the second day Pete dedicated “Shakin’ All Over” to the Grateful Dead and their fans.

One time when both bands were at the Navaro Hotel in New York, Jerry Garcia heard what sounded like a bird thumping on his window.

Minutes later the sound was more like a knocking, which wouldn’t be strange if he had not been on the tenth floor.
Pulling open his curtains Garcia found Keith Moon peering at him from the small ledge outside.

Amazed, Jerry invited Keith into his room and Moon explained that since he had climbed out the window of his room he couldn’t get back in because it was dead bolted.Without another word Keith started tearing through the wall in Jerry’s closet until he had dug himself a hole big enough to crawl through.

Mission accomplished, Moon and Garcia went out for a night on the town where Keith got away with things, such as biting pretty girls’ asses, that would get Jerry slapped if he tried.

So years later I’m sitting with some of the Dead family in the restaurant of our German hotel and keep looking at the loud table of Who people.

Following my dad over he introduces me and my hand is pulled around the table by the band’s crew while John Entwistle and Kenney Jones continue to eat oblivious to their pranks.

When two crazy outfits like The Who and the Grateful Dead got together I’m surprised the hotel was still standing by the morning.

I passed Roger Daltrey as he and two huge roadies were on their way to see if they could break into the hotel’s closed work-out room.

My dad and the Dead’s other percussionist, Mickey Hart, sat on either side of Kenney Jones and they all tried to one up each other, story for story, drink for drink.Garcia and Dead manager Rock Scully walked outside where they found Pete sitting alone on a bench. His mood was black as Pete told them The Who were finished and he couldn’t face going on with all the problems in the group.

Doing what anyone from the San Francisco 60s scene would do, Jerry and Rock took some acid with Pete. As the effect of the drug started Pete’s mood seemed to lift when he looked around and said “nature, bloody hell, it’s still out here.”

Back inside the hotel’s two bars were almost completely destroyed by the crew members of both bands.

The floor was carpeted with broken glass, the video games were smashed and if there was a single glass that had not been thrown against the wall it was because somebody had not seen it.

Next morning I was walking down the hall with one of the Dead’s girlfriends who asked if I was going to catch the early van to see The Who’s show.

Saying no, the man in front turned and questioned: “You’re not going to go and see The Who?” Years later I recognized that he was Richard Barnes and got to thank him for convincing me to go to the show.

The Who’s set blew me away that night. From the laser lights during “Who Are You” to the sheer power of “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”As they watched “Pinball Wizard” on the monitors backstage my dad told the Dead’s sound mixer that they really needed to play into the vocal and get as much punch as possible so they wouldn’t sound flat compared to The Who.

After The Who’s encore they walked into the backstage area as Garcia was going into his dressing room. When Townshend sees him he yelled “GARCIA!” and then followed him inside his room.

Later during the Grateful Dead’s part of the show Pete came into our dressing room and sat down next to me. Pete looked edgy as he looked around and realised he was in the wrong room before walking out again. Towards the show’s end Pete got on-stage with the Dead and played three songs.

Unlike most musicians who sit in, Townshend didn’t just stand to the side but got in the middle of the stage and jumped around.
I was watching from the side and I thought he looked cool even when Pete was just lighting a cigarette and dancing to parts of the songs he didn’t know.As the sun was rising the bus dropped us off back at the hotel after the very long Rockpalast show. Entering the lobby, who should be laying on the couch but Townshend who raised his arm and shouted “GARCIA!”

A year and a half later my dad and I were backstage at The Who’s 1982 concert at Oakland Stadium. Since getting back from Germany The Who flame had been burning so strong that nothing else seemed to matter to me.

After the show we went into Townshend’s dressing room where he introduced us to his wife Karen. Pete said that sitting in with the Dead at Rockpalast was hard because he was having the chords shouted at him.

He was also surprised at having trouble keeping up at some points because he thought the Dead never rehearsed. My dad asked why Rabbit is not playing with The Who this tour and Pete said “he’s got great ears but when he gets money it goes up his nose and into his brain.”

Knowing what a Who freak I had become my dad asked Pete to sign a tour program. As he did I told him that he signs autographs like my dad and Pete looks up and says “what, you mean a scribble?”

The following year I had everyone in the Grateful Dead sign one of their programs for Pete.
In his return letter Pete asked me to give his love to all the guys in the Dead and wrote that The Who had really ceased to function.

Around that time Jerry Garcia told Musician magazine “The Who are one of the few truly important architects of rock ‘n’ roll.
Townshend may be one of rock’s rare authentic geniuses.”

Tony Levin Band "Double Espresso"

Disse e repito, insisto e repiso "Tony Levin" é pra mim o melhor músico de todos os tempos, o melhor caráter e o mais simpático que já vi e ouvi.

Sou sim seu fã de carteirinha e ainda vou ter tudo que ele gravou mas nada vai ser suficiente pra tentar divulgar seu valor pra música como um todo; quiçá o mundo fosse mais recheado de seres humanos assim e seríamos muito mais felizes.

Só tenho a música pra me expressar e divido com aqueles que crêem ainda no ser humano (apesar de lobo dependo também de como se relacionam) e no futuro de uma humanidade mais digna a esperança que seres como ele possam mais e mais levar sua alegria, carisma e talento aos mais distantes pontos do mundo.

Não considero nenhum de seus trabalhos melhor que outro, todos são diferentes, mas é um mestre que só se une a mestres e gênios e continua o mesmo sempre; percam um pouco de tempo pra ler sua história enquanto ouvem caso baixem.

Espero gostem prq é daqueles que considero da família tamanha intimidade que tenho de anos a fio ouvindo e ouvindo e ouvindo.......e vendo e sentindo e.......!


Tony Levin é um músico, baixista da banda King Crimson. Já trabalhou com Peter Gabriel e participou do projeto Liquid Tension Experiment com membros do Dream Theater.

Conhecido pelo seu espírito inovador, Tony Levin é o responsável por difundir o Chapman Stick. Tony Levin é altamente respeitado e é sempre citado como um forte influênciador.

Tony Levin nasceu em Boston Massachusetts 6 de Junho de 1946 e nasceu no subúrbio de Brookline. Por volta de 10 anos de idade iniciou-se na música tocando baixo. No ensino médio, escolheu a tuba, alcançando o status de solista na banda da escola. Ele também criou o seu quarteto vocal (chamado Barbershop Quartet). Naquela época, usou seu principal instrumento, o contrabaixo de música clássica, chegando em um de seus melhores momentos, tocando na Casa Branca com uma orquestra de jovens para John F. Kennedy E Jackie Kennedy.

Em seguida, ele participou da Eastman School of Music, em Rochester, NY e fazia parte do Rochester Philarmonic Orchestra. Na escola conheceu Steve Gadd, que mostrou a Levin o Rock e o Jazz. O entusiasmo de Levin era tanto que trocou seu baby bass por um velho baixo elétrico, o Fender Precision Bass, que foi seu instrumento por muitos anos.Em 1970, Tony se mudou a Nova York e se uniu a uma banda chamada Aha, the Attack of the Green Slime Beast com Don Preston de The Mothers Of Invention. Ao mesmo tempo, se dispos a trabalhar como músico sessionista durante toda a década, onde tocou baixo em muitos álbuns.

Nos anos 70, Levin entra na banda de Peter Gabriel graças contato que o produtor Bob Ezrin propôs. Levin e Ezrin trabalham juntos anteriormente nos discos de Alice Cooper, Welcome To My Nightmare e Berlin, de Lou Reed. A partir de então, Levin é o baixista de Gabriel, tanto para as gravações em estúdio como para os shows. Em seu primeiro trabalho de estúdio com Gabriel, além de tocar baixo, Tony tocou também tuba.

Foi nos primeiros anos junto com Gabriel que Levin foi seduzido pelo Chapman Stick, pelo qual é considerado um dos pioneiros desse instrumento. Depois de um tempo, é criada a música Big Time (de um disco Solo de Gabriel), Levin deu a ideia de criar os Funk Fingers, que simplesmente consiste em usar um tipo de Baqueta, onde colocado em seus dedos, golpeia as cordas do baixo. Levin sempre deu crédito a Peter Gabriel pela ideia. Andy Moore, seu técnico, melhorou esta técnica por completo para que funcionasse perfeitamente. Mais adiante, Levin também utilizará sua tecnica Funk Fingers na música Steam de Peter Gabriel e na versão ao vivo de The Talking Drum, do King Crimson.

Em 1978, Tony se mudou para Woodstock, Nova York, para integrar a uma banda chamada L'Image, que, além de incluir seu velho amigo Steve Gadd, também contava com Mike Mainieri e Warren Bernhardt. A banda se desmanchou um ano depois, e Levin permaneceu em Woodstock, onde ainda vive.Durante a gravação do primeiro álbum de Peter Gabriel, Levin conheceu o Robert Fripp e, em 1980, logo quando foi convidado por Fripp para participar de seu álbum Exposure, virou um membro da nova formação do King Crimson.

Através dos anos, Tony tocou com muitos artistas, sendo eles: Paul Simon, Gary Burton, James Taylor, Herbie Mann, Goro Noguchi, Judy Collins, Joe Yamanaka, Dire Straits, Carly Simon, Peter Frampton, Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, Tim Finn, Richie Sambora e John Lennon (no álbum Double Fantasy).

Em 1984, Levin lançou seu Road Photos, uma coleção de fotos em branco e preto que é tirada em suas tours com Crimson, Gabriel, Simon e outros. Pete Levin, seu irmão, é um tecladista novaiorquino, conhecido por seu trabalho junto com Gil Evans. Voltando aos anos 70, Tony e Pete colaboraram juntos com Steve Gadd em uma comédia chamada The Clams. Tony tem esse material gravado, e ainda mostrará um dia.

Levin foi membro do King Crimson até dissolver a formação "Doble Trio", que era integrada junto com Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Trey Gunn, Pat Mastelotto e Bill Bruford. Anos mais tarde, Fripp novamente reuniria o King Crimson mas sem contar com Levin e nem Bruford. Por outro lado, Levin também formou parte dos sub-grupos experimentais da banda, chamados de ProjeKct One (1997) e ProjeKct Four (1998).

Em 1998, Tony uniu forças com Mike Portnoy e John Petrucci, membros do Dream Theater, e com o tecladista Jordan Rudess (mais tarde Rudess entraria para o Dream Theater), juntos fizeram um projeto chamado Liquid Tension Experiment. O quarteto gravou dois discos, Liquid Tension Experiment e Liquid Tension Experiment 2, nos anos 98 e 99 respectivamente. Esta formação aconteceu únicamente para alguns shows em Nova York, Philadelphia e Los Angeles.


Em 2004, Trey Gunn deixou King Crimson e Robert Fripp considerou, e recrutou Levin. Agora Tony Levin é novamente membro da legendária banda King Crimson

Premiata Forneria Marconi "10 Anni live" (1996)

Estou pensando seriamente em fechar essa bagaça!!!!!

Não, não, não é mais uma de minhas crises pós dmca, apesar que dessa vez eles excluíram várias imagens minhas do picasa na web (rá,rá,rá) apesar de existirem milhares iguais acharam de excluir algumas minhas.

Também não desisti da música e nem de ir em busca da essência como dizia meu mestre Manito ou muito menos cansei do que faço prq o dia que cansar eu já bati com as dez e olha que tem gente torcendo pra isso, mas vão esperar sentadinhos pra num cansar muito,rs!!!!

É que venho me prometendo postar uma série de coisas que possuo e adquiri pelas vidas de um lobo andarilho afora, e garanto que não é pouco e mesmo com o upload limitado pelo speedy (eles notam que vc usa, eles reduzem e olha que é obrigatório entregar up proporcional ao down, mas eles insistem que não e como neste país as leis são pra livrar políticos safados com dinheiro em cueca, calcinha e no rabo então lei? ora a lei....) não tenho motivos sérios que me impeçam a não ser limarem o blog de vez como já fizeram com muitos.Qdo estou com um ou dois posts prontos pipoca em minha cara de pau (lobo tem cara de pau?) um post como este feito pelo Gustavo do Ondas da Net e aí não dá outra, lobo ladrão sempre ladrão e volto ao vício.

Juro, não é por maldade, mas não consigo resistir e o pior, ainda modifico a postagem inicial, alterando as posições das imagens (num entendo pricas desse troço de imagem de ladinho, reduzida e o escambau, faço do meu jeitão mesmo e pronto) colocando mais do que foram colocadas e ainda abro o post com meus comentários.

Isso sim eu chamo de cara de pau!!!!!

Mas não consigo resistir aos posts que encontro e aí além de baixar quero dividir com os amigos e frequentadores que por acaso não seguem o blog de onde surrupiei meu objeto de desejo e dá nisso; um lobo envergonhado, mas completamente satisfeito por ter em nossa alcatéia um trabalho tão bom.

Falta espaço e tempo pra eu trazer pra cá o que quero de blogs de amigos que admiro e respeito e só por isso os reproduzo e podem notar que não é de qqr lugar que vem não, escolho sim e não dou ponto pra qqr um aqui, prq um dia se e qdo cair, será por um bom motivo e PFM; o qual ajudei até no resgate de material pra o museu deles é pra mim uma das melhores de todos os tempos em todas as formações, por isso aproveitem, baixem e divirtam-se.

Parabéns Gustavo e obrigado, mesmo sem eu ter pedido, ré,ré,ré...Lançado em 1996, o álbum, "10 Anni live", resgata um período histórico do rock progressivo, promovido pela banda italiana mais cultuada do planeta, o Premiata Forneria Marconi, um ícone do rock dos anos setenta e que até hoje nos encanta.Divido em quatro CD’s, este Box-set de músicas extraídas das apresentações públicas que o PFM fez entre os anos de 1971 a 1981 na Europa e nos EUA A viagem começa logo no primeiro CD que cobre os anos de 1971 e 1972, com um cover da música, “21th century schizoid man” do King Crimson e em seguida, sem dar tempo para respirar, outra pérola, “God” do Jethro Tull que também teve "Bouree" cantada pelos italianos.No segundo CD, que cobre o período dos anos de 1973 e 1974, somos brindados com algumas gemas, como “Four holes in the ground”; “Mr. 9 till 5”; “Impressioni di Settembre” que são alguns dos destaques da turnê que efervesceu de vez com o movimento progressivo nas terras do "Tio Sam". Chegando ao terceiro CD, que representa os anos de 1975 e 1976, o álbum “Chocolate Kings” era o foco, proporcionando uma turnê por diversos países, mas estranhamente só aparecem duas músicas deste álbum que são respectivamente, “Paper charms” e “Chocolate kings”, mas tem “William Tell overture” e “Celebration” que são ótimas também. No quarto CD, os registros são datados dos anos 1978 a 1981 espelhando as turnês dos álbuns, “Jet Lag”, “Passpartú” e “Performance”, trazendo também algumas músicas do passado como “Dove...quando...”; “Out of the roundabout” e “Celebration”.Encerrando esta breve resenha, pois o PFM e suas maravilhosas músicas dispensam qualquer apresentação, fica este Box-set como uma excelente porta de entrada para novos aficionados que com certeza serão encantados pelas performances, acontecidas em shows antológicos que os gênios Italianos proporcionaram para seus fãs no passado, bem como uma oportunidade para os que a mais tempo conhecem o trabalho da banda para matar as saudades de uma época em que o que mais contava era o talento.

Andreas Vollenweider "Caverna Mágica" (1983) by Carlos

Gosto muito de receber sugestões e sempre as sigo (até parece,rs) e aí procuro, busco discos raros e consegui por muitas vezes realizar sonhos de frequentadores amigos e seguidores desta bagunça que chamamos de alcatéia.

Numa destas recebi vários links do Andreas que tem um história de amor e ódio terrível por causa do dístico "new age"; o que ao meu ver no caso dele não se encaixa prq ele é um puta de um músico e navega numa seara muito sutil e difícil de se navegar.

Resolvi postar o primeiro que tenho e segundo dele, é uma viagem realmente pra quem precisa dar uma espairecida; experimente pra ver se não é caso ainda não tenha o devido conhecimento e depois me diga.

"Caverna Magica is the second studio album by New Age artist Andreas Vollenweider, released in 1983. It is almost entirely instrumental. It was the direct followup to Vollenweider's breakthrough album, "Behind the Gardens."

The album opens with the sound of a man and woman walking and talking (though the words can't be discerned) and then stumbling into an echoing cave and reacting with awe. The sound of dripping water in the cave turns into the rhythm of the music that fades in at this point.

While the album originally stood on its own, in 1990 it and the preceding and subsequent albums (Behind the Gardens and White Winds) were re-released as a two-CD set entitled "Trilogy," suggesting they collectively constituted a single musical entity.

The full titles of the first two albums lend credence to the suggestion that the three albums are thematically connected. The full title of the first album is "Behind the Gardens—Behind the Wall—Under the Tree..."The ellipsis at the end suggests a continuation.

The full title of the next album is "Caverna Magica (...Under the Tree—In the Cave...)"

The first ellipsis, followed by the repetition of "Under the Tree" from the first album title, clearly indicates a continuation.
The second ellipsis suggests another continuation, which would turn out to be "White Winds (Seeker's Journey)."
The last track on the White Winds album is entiled "Trilogy (At The White Magic Gardens) & The White Winds".

The title of the first album "is like giving someone directions: "You will find us behind The Garden, behind The Wall, under The Tree...", Vollenweider is quoted as saying on his official web site, http://www.vollenweider.com

The title of the second album apparently indicates a continuation of those directions: Under the tree you'll find a magic cavern. This magic cavern could be a metaphor for the recording site.

This is borne out by the rest of the Vollenweider quote: "Recording this album we worked completely cut off from the world, in the cellars of the Sinus Studios in Bern (capital of Vollenweider's native Switzerland), which are more than 300 years old. In the shelter of this creative "womb", it was easy to lose track of time and space."Sinus, where all three albums were recorded, "was a small, underground studio," stated an article in the April 2003 edition of Mojo magazine, quoted at http://www.higgs1.demon.co.uk/barritt/mojo.html "It was entered by wooden shutters in the pavement above, which gave the impression of entering a crypt."

The names of some tracks on the album ("Mandragora," "Belladonna," and "Geastrum Coronatum") refer to exotic plants that have medicinal, poisonous and hallucinogenic properties - the sort of plants one might expect to find in a cave, particularly a magic cave.

They are also the sort of plants one might associate with Sinus Studios, which by Vollenweider's time there already was associated with the Swiss psychedelia scene and Swiss rock. In 1972 it had been the recording site of the album "Seven Up," a collaboraton between space rock band Ash Ra Tempel and drug-culture figure Timothy Leary.

Any relationship between Caverna Magica track titles and Sinus Studios' history could be entirely coincidental. Vollenweider's official site quotes him as saying the album "was truly like an expedition into the deep realm of this music.

The comparison with cave explorers perfectly describes our experience: beyond every corner, in every new corridor, we found unknown spaces. For us, it was as if nobody before us had ever set foot in this territory - an indescribable feeling
