Light of Ephrai.

The “Ashen Light” of Venus—a ghostly emission of light from the night side of our nearest planetary neighbor—is among the last unsolved mysteries of astronomical history. In the four centuries since the phenomenon was first reported, highly reputable visual observers of Venus have recorded seeing the Ashen Light, while others have spent a lifetime searching for it without once being convinced that they ever saw it.

"Light of Worlds" is the 5th studio album, and 7th album of new material by the American R&B group Kool & the Gang. Released in 1974, it was later remastered by Polygram and was a second success for the band, reaching #16 in the R&B Charts and #63 in the Pop Charts. It was a landmark in the funk/jazz fusion genre of the 1970s. "Light of Worlds" is regarded as Kool & the Gang's most spiritual and sophisticated work, produced in the wake of the success of their previous album, Wild and Peaceful. While it was their seventh album of original material, the band considered Light of the Worlds their ninth LP (counting two compilations), and therefore consciously chose nine songs for the album to represent the nine planets in the solar system. The album contains rock-inspired funk set to jazz-informed playing with afrobeat influences and a tinge of analogue synthesizing.

»Es begeistert mich immer wieder, wie Sofia Gubaidulina in ihren Werken Intellekt, Spiritualität und Sinnlichkeit miteinander vereint.

After more than two decades of touring and recording, The Appleseed Cast have slowly transformed themselves from emo new-comers to indie-rock elder-statesmen. The Fleeting Light of Impermanence, the band’s first release since 2013’s Illumination Ritual, finds the Kansas-based band once again putting a fresh spin on their trademark heart-on-your-sleeve anthems.
