Vokal Ansembl Gordela - "Zinskaro". Somewhere, there is a thing, and it is the answer to everything you have ever asked. It is the fulfillment of everything you have ever wanted. It is beauty, shadow, courage. Perhaps you will find this thing. I hope you will. I will not tell you where it is. [out of print, from Herzog's Nosferatu]
Shugo Tokumaru - "Rum Hee". Two people exchange messages with birds. They leave them, nested, on welcome-mats. One day, a sparrow - this means Hello. The next day, a bluejay - this means Yes. They continue like this, cardinal & stork & toucan & swan, until one day the pair have almost run out of birds. What Shall We Do Now? one asks, in the form of a pheasant. The other replies with a letter, a printed page, typewritten, which details every aspect of their exchange, spells out, literally, every impulse and intention, every subtext. And this is the end of their correspondence. [buy]
Good lord the images you guys get. This one's like Umma Gumma! Great tunes too.
