THE BOOK OF INTXITXU "The Book Of Intxitxu" BOOK OF AM 2lp Folk Psych Sealed

2016/Spain/Wah Wah Records.....This is a Mint SEALED pressing of this limited 2lp set SEALED. Good luck and thanks for looking!

Juan Arkotxa, Leslie MacKenzie and Carmeta Mansilla were the creators of The Book Of Am. The Book Of Intxitxu was another of their works, they began working on its songs and illustrations just after they finished the four parts of The Book Of Am in the late 1970s. It contained, again, a collection of illustrations plus three hours of music. The book was first published in 1982 by Desclee de la Brouwer (Bilbao) in a bilingual Basque–Spanish edition. In 1983 IZ issued a cassette containing a selection of the songs sung in Basque by Juan. A part of it was later performed with mime artists at the short–lived Stonehenge Festival in 1983.

Conceptually it is again influenced by ancient myths and cults, you can find references to Sumerian hero Gilgamesh, the Meditarranean Moon Goddess cult, the hallucinogenic mushroom taker and healing woman from Oaxaca Maria Sabina, the works of Robert Graves, etc. Musically, it follows the ethereal folk path set by their previous works, with an acid atmosphere and a progressive appeal that offers some heavier psychedelic passages due to a higher use of electric guitar pyrotechnics.

Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth guested as musicians, so here’s one of his last recordings, as are also the last by Carmeta Mansilla, since sadly she also past away recently. Will Z, oG, Majnun and Sammy helped Juan and Leslie rescue the old material and shape it into this gorgeous 2LP set with a 24 page booklet containing all the illustrations made for the Book.

Please note it is a limited edition of only 500 copies, do not miss it and complete your Book Of Am saga collection!
