Jonas Reinhardt / Jürgen Müller - The Encyclopedia of Civilizations Vol.1 Egypt

[Nebraska]

 

The LP is the first volume on "The Encyclopedia of Civilizations", a collection of split LP's just started at Abstrakce where selected artists offer their own insight into fascinating ancient cultures. In this volume music is inspired by ancient Egypt and comes with a 10-page booklet with images and texts explaining historic facts. The texts written by Juan Ruiz -an Spanish archeologist and researcher- in a half scientific/half poetic way rounds the music and transports you to the Ancient Egypt to get the whole listening experience. The careful design of the edition also helps: Egyptian colors (sand, electric blue, gold) and a sleeve printed in the old way, letter pressed with metal movable type as Gutemberg used to do it.

Is this the same Jürgen Müller that wrote 'Secrets of the Sea'?

I really enjoyed that album a few year back.
