Dark Spring / Tolenstein Fest

 
…as always, when you´re looking back it is hard to detect that specific point when the “then” becomes “now” or today transforms to history.

Eight months were swallowed by that year already and measuring the angle, “Riot” seems so far away yet. Autumn crawls in again and I remember we had put finishing touches on the tracks when that happened the last time. So either time flies quicker these days or our perception went blank for a few pages!

“Where are we now?” someone was asking when this year arose and that´s what I now want to know too.

Since the last Dark Spring Fest Joe is part of that above mentioned preterit and still it is strange to outline a fact, which denies settling down permanently within your awareness. But that´s how things run! And sometimes they´re side-slipping, hitting names and faces.

But all the better it feels now to have Lutz aboard and Tolenstein and Nottingham have proved that chemistry seems to be adjustable (apart from a few laws and dogmas!)

I think that our winter shows won’t finish that year only, but also something else, something bigger. A fact or a circumstance, a state or a history.

As Plato said: Our minds are protrusions of the great, central, cosmic mind into the material world. Everything that has been experienced or thought in history is held in the memory of the cosmic mind – or perhaps, more accurately, lives in a sort of eternal now…

So let´s praise the dead and worship life…
