Conference of the Birds - *Shels

[lorand133]

i thought it was a remake of the song by the dave holland quintet

[soilglady]

I have no words. Its a fucking masterpiece!

[VanDaMan171]

I was really hoping for a music video by Don Hertzfeldt when I click this link, although I was disappointed, the music is still pretty good

[smee1414]

damn, forgot about these... found an old cd a few months ago of mehdis old band "mahumodo" which i hadn't seen for what must be going on 10 years, in which time i forgot all about them. That in turn reminded me of Shels*, so glad i found this again.

those who haven't already, search Mahumodo

[emContradiction]

@MrFenzyBastard try Devil Sold His Soul and listen to the song Tides, or the band Moving Mountains and listen to the song Aphelion

[JoeyThe14th]

this is my first listen to shels and it is frankly astonishing. i like the mix of post-prefixed-music ambience, chords a la deftones in places and soaring guitar melodies. long live

[MrFenzyBastard]

@JoeyThe14th we are both french i guess? "" à la deftones""??

[JoeyThe14th]

@MrFenzyBastard naa i'm english, i couldn't find the accented A (:

[KogniZzant]

Mindgasmed at 6:10 when the brass erupted.

[robosoul]

[nitro515]

*shels is one of the greatest hidden gems in music right now.

[HamStarcraft]

[Sypher272]

[nickyfrparis]

The Conference of Birds is the most widely known and influential work of Farid Ud-Din Attar, a twelfth-century Persian poet and mystic of the school of Islamic mysticism known as Sufism. The poem starts with the Hoopoe addressing a gathering of birds, urging them to journey to visit his king, Simorgh.

[malik9211]

@nickyfrparis Very good. Thanks for the information. I gotta read that book

[nickyfrparis]

Simorgh, he claims, is the ultimate king and ruler of them all. The subsequent journey is an allegory of the soul's search for unity with the divine. In Sufism the relationship between the seeker and God is similar to that between a lover and the beloved. In this consuming and transcendent love, the distinctions between self and the divine fall away. The stories in The Conference of Birds have captivated generations of readers, inspiring them to take their own spiritual journeys.

[DaMehMan]
