“As exemplified in the tombs sited around the Great Pyramid at Giza, a necropolis was a community in death, where the distribution and architecture of tombs partially modeled elite organization. Such architectural statements were probably more public and political than communal and mortuary. More locally within the same necropolis, groupings of tombs sometimes display family relations or occupational affiliations. Such ordering is also evident in modest provincial cemeteries. Groups of tombs could span several generations, with later burials clustering around that of a significant person, who might be the head of a family or a leading figure. The cult of a local hero, Heqaib, within the townsite at Elephantine became the nucleus for memorial shrines of powerful Middle Kingdom families. The most important site for such shrines was Abydos. Notables from around the country built votive memorial chapels there and pilgrims buried votive statues or animal mummies in the sacred ground. Comparable cults sometimes grew up around the cult places of gods of the dead, or where an elite figure was ‘deified’ and his ‘worshippers’ had themselves buried or made votive burials of animals or funerary figurines near him.

The ‘mausoleum culture’ in the necropolis which developed around provision for the royal and elite deceased must have been legitimized as much in relation to the living as to the dead. As in many cultures, elite men wished to construct their tombs during their lifetimes, when the tomb was a central vehicle of peer competition. An explicit illustration of this is in the sixth-dynasty statement of a man who chose to be buried in a tomb together with his father ‘in order to be with this Djau in the same place, not because I did not have the means(?) to build two tombs’ – making explicit the status normally accorded to a having one’s own large tomb. At times, much of society must have been drawn – directly or indirectly, enthusiastically or not – into great mortuary projects, especially the royal pyramids of the third and fourth dynasties. The institutions of the pyramids was economically central. Apart from the vast enterprise of construction, the pyramid and related solar temple endowments were nodes for allocation of resources, although the proportion of economic activity that passed through them is uncertain. When centralized political forms broke down in the First Intermediate Period, large-scale pyramid complexes ceased to be constructed for the following 200 years.

Tomb size and type varied as much with the fortunes of the times as with  individual wealth and choice. A limited ‘democratization of the afterlife’ has been postulated for the First Intermediate Period and early Middle Kingdom, when non-royal elites adopted some mortuary texts, regalia and beliefs that may until then have been the preserve of the king. The same period is characterized by a much wider distribution of prestigious grave goods than in the Old Kingdom, suggesting some leveling of wealth. During much of the second and first millennia there was interchange between royal and private traditions in tomb architecture and mortuary symbolism. Thus, New Kingdom kings abandoned the pyramidal tomb, which elites took over in reduced form. Pictorial and textual compositions inscribed in royal tombs were adopted later by the non-royal, while kings took over non-royal substitute figurines (shabtis). These borrowings suggest that there existed a commonality of beliefs and symbols as well as long-term variability in their use, despite sharp differentiation between major social categories.”

Day 4: Alentejo

I don’t think there is a better place to stay when visiting Alentejo than Evora. All of us took the opportunity to walk through this seemingly frozen-in-the-past walled town. Some of us even made it to the Chapel of Bones in the Cathedral. A sort of lugubrious way to start the day but please check out the photos. Our first visit was to Fitapreta, a winery started in 2004 by two young guys who met up and without any

money or winery, decided to make wine. Antonio Macanita was Portuguese and David Booth was English and they hit it off. They started with 2 wines which won awards and it has been one success after another. Unfortunately David died in a car accident in 2011 and Antonio picked up the pieces. With some EU grant money and loans, he bought a ramshackle manor house and restored it and built the winery. Today Fitapreti has 75 hectares and produces 300,000 bottles annually, 70% red wine. Our tasting: -barrel sample blend of local grapes -Fitapreta Branca (white) 2018, blend of Antão Vaz, Roupeiro, Arinto, Rabo de Ovelha, Alicante Bouschet and Tamaraz -Palpite Branco 2018, a blend of Arinto, Verdelho, Antão Vaz aged 1 year in used barrels, all of the whites had good fruity aromas and crisp acidity -NV Blend of Castelao, Trincadeira, Aragonez (aka Tempranillo) using solar technique from 2015, 2016, 2017, rust orange color -Fitapreta Red 2017, a blend of Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, 6 months in tanks, 6 months in barrels, vinous, juicy, easy drinking -Trincadeiro 2017, no oak, juicy, easy drinking -Baga 1/2 Sol 2015, 2 years in French oak barrels, forest floor aroma, mushrooms, name comes from fact that the vineyard spends half day in sun, other half in shade -Preta Tinto 2015, Aragonez (35%), Alicante Bouschet (53%) and Baga (7%), 2 years oak barrels, easy drinking, juicy wines, wines to be consumed, not aged

From Fitapreti, we continued to Estremoz where we visited João Portugal Ramos. This winery was started in 1997 by Ramos in the locality of Vila Santa. Most of the wines (80%) are red. We learned that Alentejo is the driest area of Portugal and is divided in 8 subregions. This winery is in Borba and the harvest is in August, the earliest in the country. It’s a big operation, producing a total of 6 million bottles throughout Portugal, with 4.5 million in Alentejo.

lunch at JPortugal Ramos

Our lunch menu was appetizers of assorted local cheeses and hams, chestnut soup, partridge with creamed spinach and boiled potatoes and desserts of mango semi-freddo, fruit salad and 6 local cheeses. To accompany the lunch, we had the following wines: -Marques de Borba 2019, a blend of Arinto which adds tropical flavors, Antão Vaz, Viognier, a crisp, fruity, delicious wine -Vila Santa White 2017, a blend of Arinto, Alvarinho, Sauvignon Blanc,a very smooth easy drinking wine -Marques de Borba 2017 Old Vines, a blend of Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, Castelão, Syrah, crushed in marble lagares (we learned that Estremoz is famous for its marble) -Duorum LBV Port 2014, bottled in 2019, a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Touriga Cão, Sousão

Our last visit was to a much smaller winery, Susana Esteban., so small it’s almost impossible to find and no signs, even on the winery. Susana is originally from Spain, came to Portugal and founded the winery in 2011. She produces 40,000 bottles annually, all from purchased grapes. 60% of the production is red wine. Her first wine was named “Procura” which means “searching for” the right wine. She also produces an amphora wine, some dating from 1861, which are fermented with whole clusters and aged for 8 months in the amphora, just like they used to do in Portugal.

Our tasting: -Aventura 2017, a field blend of 15 varieties, fresh, crisp, tutti-frutti -Procura vinhas velhas 2016, from 40 different varieties in 80 year old vineyards in the region of Serra de São Mamede -Rosé 2018, a blend of Black Muscatel, Aragonez, and other grapes, good structure -Aventura 2016, a blend of Aragonez (40%), Touriga Nacional (40%) and 20% ‘others’, deep red ruby, no oak, cassis aromas, dark berries, soft tannins, lingering aftertaste -Procura 2014, a blend of Alicante Bouschet (55%) and 45% ‘other grapes’, deep red, very tannic, 16 months in barrel, this wine needs time. Today’s visits had some interesting contrasts in size which is always very interesting to experience.

“Our mission [was] to create group and make our family a protected place for teenagers, a protected place for girls, and a spot of peace for males,” says Jon.

“I feel we had 13 individuals in a three-bedroom home at one stage.”

Graham invited Jon into the Wayside as an assistant pastor to see whether or not he may sink or swim.

Regardless of being mistaken for a drug supplier on his first day within the job, Jon swam.

Side one is more of a shimmering techno melodic number, and side 2 has some seriously heavy bass grooves. a great addition to your dance collection! Cluster & Eno: s/t LP $26.992018 repress of Bureau B's 2009 reissue. LP version. Originally recorded and released in 1977 on Sky Records, the first collaborative album by Brian Eno and Cluster was the first ambient record produced in Germany, and is considered the seminal, defining work of the genre. Brian Eno was certainly instrumental in creating and popularizing the concept of "ambient music" -- but it was not his invention alone. The German musicians Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (Cluster) were brothers in spirit. As so often in music, the idea of ambient was in the air -- both Eno and Cluster experimenting with the form in the 1970s, rendering any debate as to who influenced who redundant. What is certain, is that Brian Eno attended a Cluster concert in Hamburg in 1975, strategically positioning himself in the front row. Sure enough, he was invited on stage to jam with the band and, after the show, the participants arranged to meet up again. They did so two years later at the Old Weserhof in Forst, the domicile of the German duo. Eno and Cluster spent three weeks in Conny Plank's studio, resulting in two albums: Cluster & Eno and After The Heat (1978). In the liner notes, Asmus Tietchens (who also plays on the record along with Can's Holger Czukay) writes: "Clearly, all three musicians inspired each other during their three weeks together without any clash of personalities. Nevertheless, some tracks sound more like Cluster, some more like Eno. So it made perfect sense to collect the tracks with a Cluster flavor on Cluster & Eno." The importance of this record can never be overstated, nor can its elegance of diverse forms be matched. From Indian sitar and tamboura, to synth warbles and airy tributes to Western groove, it is a rare glimpse at what happens when masters meet. Kalma, Ariel: Osmose LP $26.99Born and raised in Paris, Ariel Kalma studied electronics, computer science, music and art in Paris, he performed with several bands, then toured the world and visited Europe, Japan, India, Eastern Canada, and parts of the USA. Apart from rhythm & blues, pop and jazz, he acquired assorted experiences in Middle Age French, electro-acoustic, and modal music. All the travels broadened Ariel's musical horizons tremendously; listening to and playing with different styles, people, and instruments, intricate scales, techniques, timing and rhythms. After learning circular breathing from a snake charmer in India, Ariel practiced it on soprano sax (for many sleepless nights) in the basement of a cathedral in New York, when he was not playing upstairs on the large harmonium. Returning to France in late '76, Ariel could include those endless notes into his own long-delay-effect system with which he toured, playing solo concerts. Ariel contributed to the birth of (then) new music genres: minimalist, space, ambient, new age, and electronic. In 1977, Paris, Ariel Kalma was preparing an album of new music. Through an INA connection, Ariel was recommended to Richard Tinti, who had just come back from Borneo (Papua New Guinea) with hours of rainforest ambiences in high quality recordings (on a Nagra recorder). To their amazement, birds and keyboards, flutes and crickets, saxophones and frogs, war drums and (very vintage) drum machines had much in common in terms of pitch, rhythms, effects (i.e. crickets and fast flanged synthesizer). Ariel decided to blend his new compositions with the rainforest atmosphere, and thus Osmose was created. KALMA, ARIELFrench Archives 1977-80 4LP BOX  $89.99Another indispensable compendium of the great French experimental artist's musical opera. With this four-LP box set of fully unreleased archival materials, Ariel Kalma ideally retraces the map of his own path and spiritual journey during the '70s. Some of music contained in Sarasvati Planet Ariel, Planet Air, Ascend Descend, and Astral Cathedral are born as sound environments for group therapy sessions that carrying healing, trance, and relaxation. The occult and arcane music of Kalma awakens consciousness, expands chakras, sculpts memory indelibly, appears to encompass all the emotional aspects of the universe, and brings its listeners back to the archetypal moments of creation. What is most impressive is the variety of atmospheric stimuli, the rich source of inspiration and compositional mastery. The solemn, triumphal and liturgical, meditative and ascending tone of celestial chapel organs and harmonium, the darkness of Farfisa and Yamaha PS-30 lunar and spectral sequences, the exotic oriental breath of circular dances transfigured and dissolving by the specular shapes of the Wasp Synth... everything converges to the purity abyssal of eternity sound. The melodic and harmonic phrases of sax always reveal a deep song, while the solar blow of flute gives elegiac moments of Debussyian flavor as bucolic recalls of fauns from Eden's lost. Listeners will be struck by equinoxial and solstitial lights, in perfect balance between flares and shadows, nature and galactic procession. Kalma's sensitive ear is expressionist, almost a possible scenario for astral architectural utopias of visionaries such as Hablik, Taut, Steiner, or Poelzig; it absorbs and re-reads in a personal way some insights of the cosmic psychedelia of the early '70s such as K. Schulze, Heldon, Tangerine Dream, Popol Vuh. The music is fully unreleased, with only a few tracks being different versions of previously released tracks. LAVICE & COMPANYTwo Sisters From Bag: S/T CD $15.99Two Sisters From Bag: S/T LP $29.99Known in the record-collecting world as an incredibly rare album with just a handful of known copies, Jazzman Records present for the first time the full-length album reissue of the Two Sisters From Bagdad album as performed by LaVice & Co.. Originally intended to be sold alongside performances of LaVice Hendrick's ambitious but ill-fated musical theater production, the album's scarcity was swiftly ensured as Two Sisters From Bagdad ran for just two weeks at Detroit's Bethel A.M.E. church amid poor attendances due to scant promotion. With only a handful of copies sold in that brief window, many of the remaining copies were subsequently destroyed in a basement flood, meaning that until now few people have ever heard the album in its entirety. A varied set of jazz and gospel infused funky soul, Two Sisters From Bagdad was composed and orchestrated by two precocious young talents, E.J. Garrison and Rhodia McAdoo. It's an album full of surprises, and is notorious for the heavy funk workout Though's Were The Days. Not only have Jazzman Records unearthed and faithfully reissued this true obscurity as the 26th part of their ongoing "Holy Grail" series, but through interviews with Garrison and McAdoo themselves, they have uncovered the beguiling back story to the music, the play and the life and times of its original creator, the late LaVice Hendricks. As always the detail is revealed for the first time in Jazzman Records' extensive new sleeve notes. BROKEN ENGLISH CLUB/CLAUS FUSSCitrinitas Edition 12"  $15.99London based electronic music label Khemia Records announces its seventh split release vinyl EP. The third edition of the Magnum Opus Series features "Thee Art Ov Metals", a raw, menacing, post-punk inflected cut, drenched in reverb over an insistent ebm groove from Broken English Club alongside the pristine cardio bleeps and rave hypnosis of Claus Fuss's "Static Ace". Together they form the Citrinitas Edition. Clear limited edition vinyl. Prurient: Rainbow Mirror 4CD $23.99"On Rainbow Mirror, the latest work from renowned noise-music artist Prurient, fifteen new time-stretching tracks explore the more glacial and meditative side of Dominick Fernow's noise and power electronics with a total running time of almost three-and-a-half hours. Not necessarily the direct follow-up to the Frozen Niagara Falls album, this second conspiracy between the label and the band stands as another singular landmark among the vast repertoire Fernow has amassed. While familiar moments from that recent album can be found within, this ambient noise marathon also conjures the atmosphere of Fernow's old-school noise histrionics, while bringing in introspective new observations. This intense, unforgiving, trance-inducing aura is presented through waves of time-stretching electronics, layered counterpoint feedback, loops, and extended droning pulsating synth passages."
