Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

Herzbeat Hotel is an ongoing project for investigation on religious music led by Damien Yates and Anton van Ringe. These two former theology and ethnology students have developed an unhealthy obsession with the notion of music as a spiritual, holy activity, and conduct researches on all sorts of psychic and spiritual connections involving such disparate elements as Indian classical music, Elvis Presley and silent movie star Gloria Swanson. Soopa's oldest project, Herzbeat here commit their "sub-spiritual music" to CD for the first time; "Eve Of Wide Island..." contains a single track which goes from drone-trance to horn-induced ecstasy in the range of 17 minutes.
