Robbie Basho - The Grail and The Lotus

[mikkorenko]

The genius at work

[wdchrismon]

Fucking chiropractors. 

[drumdadio]

this song gets so metal at 1:46. thumbs up if anyone is with me.

[nonthere]

It's really hard to pull off this major/monor stuff and make it sound good. It definitely takes more than one listen to get what this guy's doing.

[drumdadio]

@nonthere you should check out opeth. check out songs like harvest and hessian peel.

[danlo215]

stop bickering and listen to the music

[paititi]

Robbie Basho has a unique musical feel that is at once delicate and virile, incorporating various significant cultural elements in a totally unselfconscious manner. The cover of the album is yet another aspect of his depth, and its symbols should be intelligently looked into before any mistaken judgment is made.

[Fawksian21]

Beautiful music.

Great Basho tune.

[Arsenal123456123]

Basho's great but that is an absolutely fucked up cover, mate.

[russelsheartinacage]

this isn't a cover, it's studio recording of Basho. You have just insulted him! lol

[Arsenal123456123]

no no lol - i meant the physical cover of the album - the album artwork. I LOVE Basho.... in fact, I've begun to write a film and am using 'Bonn ist supreme' as the soundtrack.

[russelsheartinacage]

oh right! It's just a random cover, I couldn't find the one for this album. I'd love to make a proper video for some stuff like this, but it's just finding the time. !

[mrnoiz23]

That's an ancient sanscrit symbol used in it's traditional context, you like many others are being an asshole about it.

[mrnoiz23]

The hexagram is an ancient hindu symbol far predating that use by centuries. You really are an idiot, learn some history.

[KaiBailey]

You're not getting his point. Neither the swastika or the hexagram always represent Nazism and Judaism.. In fact for most of history they have represented other things. If you're going to write a movie with Basho as the soundtrack, be more open minded to these symbol's meanings in this context.

[freakyteakyterrorist]

@mrnoiz23 No need to hate plus thats not a hexagram.

[Adeptmind]

@freakyteakyterrorist Actually it IS a hexagram and has been used in hindu culture for a very long time. It happens to also be the jewish star though

[Adeptmind]

@mrnoiz23 Looks more like a swastika inside a jewish star no?

[mrnoiz23]

@Adeptmind Yes, this symbol exactly appears in occult books printed in the late 1800's.

[Adeptmind]

@mrnoiz23 Yeah, the hindu hexagram does. But if I remember correctly. Doesn't the hindu version of the "swastika" (symbol for circle of life) appear to be spinning in the opposite direction as Hitler's version? This appears to be Hitlers version, which is what I think people are noting?

[mrnoiz23]

My point exactly, Madame Blavatski used the swatstik and hexagram in the seal of the Theosophical Society in the 1800's. Just within the last couple of years a local church (built in 1914 BTW) paid to have all these symbols chiseled off, how stupid can you get.
