RhoDeo 1135 Illuminatus 6th

Hello, what a sportsday this was, a sudden itch caused a jolt to Bolt who forgot it was the time to hold. At least his trainings buddy was there to pick up the price. Man United squandered a dozen chances and still managed to win 8 - 2 against confused Arsenal boys. Looks like London's glory days in Premiership football are gone as The Spurs was trashed at home by that other Manchester team, City 1 - 5. Talk of trashing that's what Hamilton did with his F1 car once more after forgetting to look in his mirror, meanwhile Vettel cruised to another victory.

Today the final chapters of the 6th Trip Teperoth.

The three parts of the trilogy are subdivided into five "books" named after the five seasons of the Discordian calendar (Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy, The Aftermath). This book is not designed to be easy to digest. You are not meant to internalize its message thoughtlessly. It's funny, contradictory, and self-aware, and it's hard for people who take themselves seriously to get caught up in a book that, for the most part, doesn't. I could say this book deserves to be more than a cult classic, its cultural influence will continue to seep in with or without grander acclaim.

The plot meanders between the thoughts, hallucinations and inner voices (both real and imagined) of its many characters, as well as through time (past, present and future)— sometimes in mid-sentence. Much of the back story is explained via dialogue between characters, who recount unreliable, often mutually contradictory, versions of their supposed histories. There are even parts in the book in which the narrative reviews and jokingly deconstructs the work itself.

The Illuminatus ! Trilogy was performed by the incomparable Ken Campbell and Chris Fairbank, and broadcast live in London on ResonanceFM in June 2006. In 1976, Ken Campbell adapted Illuminatus! for the stage - a 10 hour epic which went on to open the Royal National Theatre in London under the patronage of Her Majesty Elizabeth II. Chris Fairbank played Simon Moon, among other characters. 30 years and 23 Fernando Poos since Ken and Chris first breathed life into Shea and Wilson's masterpiece and Illuminatus! seems even more startlingly relevant and chock full of laughter than ever before. Enjoy the Trips!

The trilogy's rambling story begins with an investigation by two New York City detectives (Saul Goodman and Barney Muldoon) into the bombing of Confrontation, a leftist magazine, and the disappearance of its editor, Joe Malik. Discovering the magazine's investigation into the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., the two follow a trail of memos that suggest the involvement of powerful secret societies. They slowly become drawn into a web of conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, the magazine's reporter, George Dorn — having been turned loose without support deep in right-wing Mad Dog, Texas — is arrested for drug possession. He is jailed and physically threatened, at one point hallucinating about his own execution. The prison is bombed and he is rescued by the Discordians, led by the enigmatic Hagbard Celine, captain of a golden submarine. Hagbard represents the Discordians in their eternal battle against the Illuminati, the conspiratorial organization that secretly controls the world. He finances his operations by smuggling illicit substances.

Sundaze 1135

Hello, do I have a wonderful collection of music up for grabs today, why i haven't posted it earlier I don't know, well i do i just didn't have the time to play it, that's why . However, I can say i really enjoyed getting back to it today. Whom am I talking about ? Kettel ! A self-described "elixir-brewing,and music-making sorcerer-to-be." , well-known for his playful, spontaneous melodies and organic folk sounds. His tools just a pc with soundcard, keyboard, MIDI-keyboard and controller, a turntable and a mic. What comes out is a combination of downtempo beats , hovering synthesizers and acoustic instruments turned into little melodies. Consider yourself lucky...smile

Kettel is Reimer Eising is a Frisian (born 1982), from an early age he was charmed by Bach, it inspired him to start learning to play the piano age 5, he's been learning ever since. It's little surprise then classical piano music has been a source of inspiration in his life. In 2001 he moved to Groningen to study Dutch at the University, little came of it as he already was gripped by the music virus. The confrontation with electronic music and the ease of working and creating with it, started him on the path of 'classical' IDM. His moniker Kettel is a Dutch phonetic version of cattle which in itself have in frisians it's prime milk producing species. Loves his little in-jokes that Reimer. .That same year he released his first album " Dreim", when he released his 2nd album "Cenny Crush" in 2002 it was quickly followed by "Smiling Little Cow" that same year, and by 2003 he was fulltime working on music.

Kettel's releases on the Planet Mu-label ( Mike Paradinas µ-Ziq, Kid Spatula , Aphex Twin) and the Kracfive label(US) has build him some international fame. He has also collaborated on several projects of various remixes and compilations. Kettel frequently performs in the Netherlands and abroad, the Japanese seem to have taken a particular liking to his work.

His breakthrough came in 2004 with his 4th album "Volleyed Iron" something you can convince yourself of here. It was followed by another stunning album "Through Friendly Waters" his organic IDM carrying melodies really find their way into the listeners brain. In 2006 he released My Dogon a very happy album full of uplifting sounds that nods the likes of Aphex twin and Boards Of Canada. Then by 2007 he's back to somewhat quiter waters with some more classical input.

In 2008 Kettel released Myam James part 1 followed by part 2 the next year, since it's been rather quiet for his doing, he toured, created background video and in a few months his first Gamescore will be available.

If you like detuned melodies and their strong appeal to the memory zones of our brains, you're likely to fully enjoy the his music and Kettel's ability to instill his own feelings and emotions in his tracks. Since 2005 he releases albums on Sending Orbs, a label run by his brother Wouter Eising..

Volleyed Iron by Kettel is a kind of ambient symphony, in which disparate elements are combined into a composite impressionistic landscape of dreams, space and emotions. The album teems with a variety of harmonic shades and hues, it's built structurally and sonically on circular and linear forms, often both at once. This work moves through reverb shrouded piano melodies and dulcet synthesized themes, on to dark electronic terrain and the strange sonic surroundings of mutated samples and out of context acoustic sources. At times it is as if the listener where beneath stars, while elsewhere floating through a strange dream world. The key to enjoying this work is to sink into its whirling atmosphere. This is ambient music asking to be heard, revealing more with each listen. Music that flows on a dream river deeper and deeper into a mystic state and slowly come back.

My Dogon follows previous years quite unashamedly gorgeous ‘Through Friendly Waters’ but takes the Kettel sound to a new territory – acid. On first listen the abundance of the 303 is jarring, but give it a few minutes and it lulls you in, creating a skewed variation of comic-pop as seen through the frosted glass of modern electronica. Eising even throws in a few mind altering ambient tracks, the kind last heard on his flawless ‘Volleyed Iron’ album. A sprawling and varied disc, ‘My Dogon’ is another wonderful Kettel emission, coming to you with much recommendation.

Whisper Me Wishes, a collection of tracks written over the last few years, is a real testament to his stylistic longevity. Over the course of fourteen tracks Eising shows us why having an extensive training in classical composition can really help you make interesting music as he moves effortlessly through downtempo electronica, jungly acid and oddly, epic classical pieces. This music is electronica, sure, but there's something so skewed about it that you're just drawn in - for a start Eising's grasp of melody and harmony has to be heard to be believed, but the way he layers his addictive synthesizer hooks over what should probably be out-of-time rhythms is quite shocking. Add this to the fact that the Dutchman has the guile to use possibly the cheesiest sounds available to him (synth piano, general midi) yet still manages to have me coming back again and again and you have something truly original. There aren't many artists left in the genre making such fantastically intense and good natured music; this is light hearted, fun and always great to listen to - what more can you ask for from a record? Electronic music ain't dead just yet...

RhoDeo 1134 Grooves

Hello, still some more grooves to contend with here, todays band was basically a producers act, Norman Whitfield who found he needed another act despite he solely produced and co-wrote eight of their albums between 1969 and 1973. Obviously he felt creatively constrained not to mention the Temptations falling apart at that time, so by 71 he set up a new band doing much of the same work he recorded earlier but expressed very differently, no mean feat considering this act had success as well, The Undisputed Truth they were called, hmm clearly the man was born ahead of his time, he'd been a sought after remixer in the decades that followed.

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

It's not exactly fair to peg the Undisputed Truth as a one-hit wonder, because they did have a few hits for Motown in the first half of the 1970s (albeit only one big one), as well as made half a dozen albums for the label. Still, it's not that far from the truth. Nothing else they did matched the strength of "Smiling Faces Sometimes," which made number three in 1971. Crafted by Norman Whitfield, Motown's most adventurous producer of the time, it employed the funk-psychedelic guitars and ominous, socially aware lyrics that were also characteristic of his work with the Temptations during the period.

Undisputed Truth came into being after Bobby Taylor brought Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce to Motown as part of the Delicates. When the Delicates broke up, the pair kept busy doing background vocals for the Four Tops, Diana Ross, and Edwin Starr. Whitfield teamed them up with Joe Harris of the Preps, Harris served as main lead singer with The Delicates, on additional leads and background vocals, laying the groundwork for the male-female vocal interplay that would typify their Motown sessions.

The group's music and unusual costuming (large Afros and white makeup) typified the then-popular trend of "psychedelic soul" which producer Norman Whitfield had inaugurated. A number of their singles became minor hits, and many of them were also songs for Whitfield's main act, The Temptations.

It's fair to say that the Undisputed Truth were little more than a mouthpiece for Whitfield. He wrote most of their material (sometimes in association with Barrett Strong), and used their sessions as a laboratory to devise funk rhythms and psychedelic guitar effects. He was doing the same thing with the Temptations, and the Undisputed Truth's records couldn't help but suffer in comparison. As vocalists they weren't in the same league as the Temps, and Whitfield was most likely reserving his real killer songs for the more famous group.

The group never approached the success of "Smiling Faces Sometimes" again, although they racked up a series of modest R&B; hits through the mid-'70s. The best of these were "You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth" and the original version of "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," which Whitfield would quickly redo with the Temptations for a much more definitive (and massively successful) version.

In 1975 after 6 albums at Motown The Undisputed Truth, along with Rose Royce and Willie Hutch, they followed Whitfield during his exodus from Motown to set up Whitfield Records in 1975. At this time, Calvin and Joyce left the group, and Harris was joined by new members Virginia "V" McDonald, Tyrone "Big Ty" Douglas, Tyrone "Lil Ty" Barkley, and Calvin "Dhaak" Stephenson. The group's costuming and style changed as well, becoming even more unusual and Funkadelic-influenced. It resulted in 2 more albums Method To The Madness and Smokin before the act folded in 79.

Noman Whitfield meanwhile scored a Grammy for the Carwash Soundtrack but found success in the 80's hard to come by. No need to feel sorry for the man because in 2005 he faced charges of tax evasion on more than $2 million worth of income, failing to report royalty income he earned from 1995 to 1999. He pleaded guilty but got away with house arrest as he was seriously ill because of Diabetes a disease he succumbed to 16th of september 2008.

The Undisputed Truth is the debut album of the Motown group of the same name, released in 1971. It was produced entirely by Norman Whitfield. The album includes the group's biggest hit single (and only US Top 40 hit), Smiling Faces Sometimes, which peaked at #3. It has a dead serious beat and some strong comments about people who show their teeth all the time. Many of the songs on this album were also recorded by the group's Motown labelmates, The Temptations (also produced by Norman Whitfield). Whitfield had the creative juices flowing on "Ball of Confusion," which bounces along for more than ten minutes and is true bliss; the arrangement is totally different from the Temptations blockbuster. The sound of the album mixes the traditional Motown sound with psychedelic-infludenced soul music.

Face to Face With the Truth is the second album by The Undisputed Truth, released in 1972. Like their debut album, it was produced entirely by Norman Whitfield and most of the songs were also recorded by The Temptations, be it with different arrangements. Two singles were released from the album, both minor hits on the Billboard charts: "You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth", and "What It Is?". Face to Face With the Truth peaked at #114 on the charts, lower than their self-titled debut, yet overall it's artistically more satisfying. Side One is all remakes, but arranged totally different from their predecessors. "You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth" had all the biting commentary of "Smiling Faces Sometimes," and then some. Originally done at a faster tempo by the Temptations, Norman Whitfield slowed the pace for the Truth. Joe Harris sang with perfect diction, making the stark lyrics even more riveting, while Brenda Joyce and Billie Calvin chirped like songbirds. Likewise for "Ungena Za Ulimengu (Unite the World)," another Temptation cut that Whitfield slowed and transformed into a psychedelic mind bender. You won't recognize the arrangement of "Friendship Train," a hit for Gladys Knight & the Pips; and Marvin Gaye's classic "What's Going On" may come off a bit too esoteric for most. Norman Whitfield never produced a song the same way twice, and that's the undisputed truth.

Fans of the Undisputed Truth's first two albums could be shocked when they purchased Cosmic Truth. The act here consisted of Calvin Stevens, Tyrone Douglas, and Virginia McDonald. Stevens and Douglas had been members of the Magictones, the threesome joins Joe Harris for some spacy, rock-influenced, funky sounds. "UFO's" skips along with an infectious beat, a futuristic sound, and incredulous vocals from Joe Harris. Neil Young's "Down By the River" gets a soul injection, as if it needed one. Their version of "(I Know) I'm Losing You" is sung by one of the newer male members, and producer Norman Whitfield allows him to cut loose -- unusual for Whitfield, who usually demanded that his singers stick close to the melody. "Earthquake Shake" and "Got to Get My Hands on Some Lovin'" show some funky metal flavoring . The influence of Funkadelic/Parliament is becoming clear here. A route followed by the albums that came afterwards before they folded in 1979.
