{"product_id":"gulaab-ritt-durch-cd-209050398305","title":"Gulaab - Ritt Durch Den Hades [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eUltra-rare lost psychedelic Kraut-folk from 1979. First time on CD and LP. Taken from the original master tapes. \"Gulaab\" means \"rose\" in the Nepalese language. Gulaab is a German virtuoso on the acoustic guitar who served three years as an after-dinner musician in a luxury restaurant in Nepal, playing for an amazing number of well-known personalities of the 20th century during the early '70s. This was a strongly-influential experience that shaped his musical expression big-time, but also let him become an open-minded spirit. Ritt durch den Hades is the result of his experimentation with sounds, atmospheres and a multitude of styles in traditional music from Latin to Eastern Asian elements. It was first released in 1979, vanishing into obscurity soon after, waiting to be rediscovered by a more open-minded generation of music lovers now. Traditionalists be forewarned: This mystic grail of '70s \"Kraut folk\" stands far out from the average folk and singer\/songwriter stuff, combining guitar harmonies of the highest order with a cosmic drone that backs up the hypnotizing picking and trippy swirls of sounds. This album is in fact more like a musical journey than just a piece of music, taking you from secret sacrificial altars in the Andes to the ceremonial places of the ancient Himalayan population with a short stopover for a little \"joint venture\" in the musical space-centers of highly flown-out German originators like Ash Ra Tempel\/Manuel Gottsching, Popul Vuh\/Florian Fricke, Witthusser \u0026amp; Westrupp, Broselmaschine, Dom or Deuter. Now take a ride through Hades with Gulaab.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"79","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50787402547496,"sku":"209050398305","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2808141.jpg?v=1763992025","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/gulaab-ritt-durch-cd-209050398305","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
