The Feather Of Wisdom Phoenix No Cat LP £16.99 New limited edition LP from Father Yod’s legendary psychedelic messengers, their first album in 33 years, on a new subsidiary of The No-Neck Blues Band’s Sound at One label dedicated to releasing music “specifically oriented towards the elevation of consciousness”. The recordings comes from a Ya Ho Wha reunion gig that took place in San Francisco in November 2007 and it feels every bit as ‘out’ and ominously cultic as the unit’s ‘classic’ recordings. The whole set has a heavy ritual air with improvised blats of guitar and drums bracketing some clanking percussive string drones and an atmosphere that feels as dopey and devotional as Penetration or Yod Ship. Hand silk-screened edition of 500 copies with a full colour fold-out poster insert designed by Arik Moonhawk Roper. |

Liberation – Father’s Book The Source No Cat book £10.99 New publication from The Source, the spiritual movement associated with Father Yod and Ya Ho Wha 13, written by Yod in 1970 in 10 days and containing the core of his teachings. This new edition comes with an update about the current Source family: “Father’s Wisdom is timeless and will definitely help you to find your own ‘Path’!” |

Songs From The Source Drag City DC-365 CD £10.99 Previously unreleased and newly recovered jams from the whole Source/Ya Ho Wha 13 cultus, recorded during a practice session for a gig at the Whiskey A Go Go in late 1973. The group is actually the Spirit Of ’76, the more song/rock-focussed unit instituted by Father Yod, as opposed to the more open ended jam-channelling work of Ya Ho Wha 13. But alla the hallmarks are present = heavy cultic vibe, devotional atmosphere, occult symbolism, fuzz, organ, massed vocals… still miles ahead of any similar evangelical psych recs (outside of DR Hooker and Fraction, natch), this is another necessary piece of the puzzle. |
