Jozef Van Wissem and Jim Jarmusch: Concerning the Entrance into Eternity – the spirit of a new music.

“With regard to the general subject of the life of souls, that is, of novitiate spirits, after death, I may state that much experience has shown that when a man comes into the other life he is not aware that he is in that life, but supposes that he is still in this world, and […]

A lovely little retro pleasure for you today. Self-produced, 1969’s “Friendsound” makes absolutely no attempt to go down the commercial road and to ours ears may deserve to be noted as one of the first real “jam” albums.
