Album Notes & Community Reviews

Taking lyrical inspiration directly from Dee Brown's influential book on the history of Native Americans, Conny Veit completely retooled his band's lineup for this final statement. Featuring Florian Fricke of Popol Vuh on piano, the record swapped aggressive cosmic jams for a profoundly beautiful, melancholic acoustic atmosphere.
