| first release of this 1973 tape of music by ya ho wa 13 (aka spirit of ‘76) ...
... was super-jazzed about this one until i actually heard it ; not quite the addled commune-psych treasure-chest i was hoping, but in fact a rather hokey up-with-people-lineage gospel-pop affair, with tons of horns & a “keep on keep on movin’” kind of vibe ...
still, father yod completists will need to file it next to the captain trip set(s) ... |

songs from the source
dc365 lp/cd
songs from the source is a lost-and-found 1973 recording of the source family. these twelve songs were recorded live in the hollywood hills as a rehearsal for a concert date that spirit of 76 aka yahowah 13, the savage sons of yahowa, yodship, and firewaterair, now known as children of the sixth root race had at the whisky. a 1/4 tape copy of the recording was found in chicago in 2006, though no-one is really sure how it got there. djin aquarian, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for spirit of 76, recalls being sent on a mission to chicago later in 1973, where he believes he left the tape with an old friend. djin wrote most of the songs in the year before he joined with the source, as part of his solo mystical quest to help enlighten the world before it might annihilate itself, adding, im glad both the album and the world are still here. though this rehearsal wasnt meant to be released at the time, there are probably no other recordings as complete of the band doing these songs. the spirit of 76 had a different sound than the one yahowah 13 made with yahowa. songs from the source has more rnb-grooved energy, with splashes of synth and organ, a female vocal chorus and streamlined fusion rhythms backing the uniquely yahowan lyrical populism of songs like godmen and lost dead but hoping. the ebullient, ever-climbing power of the climactic we are the dinosaurs, has few analogues in the other source recordings and is furthermore an outstanding piece of music from the entire era.
songs from the source is a miraculous missing piece of the sources positive musical movement. the members of yahowah 13 (djin, sunflower on bass, octavius on drums) were joined by family members ahom, aquariana, cinderella, rhythm, vibration, and zoroaster on lead guitar, to create the ecstatic sound of spirit of 76. in summing up, djin told us, i know father is behind this redeeming of the spirit of 76 album and up to his old tricks again...yahowha.
points of interest songs from the source is a never-before-released recording from the source family. children of the sixth root race are also known as yahowah 13. songs from the source includes an extensive recollection of the recording and the spirit of the times around the recording by djin aquarian. father yod and the source are frequently covered by todays’ media an enlightened environment for the release of a lost recording from the heyday of the source ! |
