Pilgrimage to Thunderbolt Pagoda is a beautiful new album from San Diego’s enigmatic High Mountain Tempel, in collaboration with the UK’s Earthling Society. Also present on the recording are Charles Curtis on strings, synthesis from the Asterism and voices from Isis Aquarian, Alpha-Crone and Logos of Father Yod and The Source Family. Wyrd electronics, blissed-out strings and incandescent spacerock carry the Tempel monks to kaleidoscopic new planes. Listen to the light.
Aquarius Records in San Francisco are calling it ‘another glorious expansive collection of meditative psychedelic abstract dronefolk ambience’, and they ought to know. The album is available now from Strange Attractor Shoppe, or if you are in the US, from the HMT site.
