Ya Ho Wa 13 - Penetration, An Aquarian Symphony (1974)

There's only one thing I can do right now, and that is to describe the history of this group. The guy you see on the picture is Jim Baker. He fought the Second World War, was a Vedantic monk, followed Yogi Bhajan, a Sikh leader and teacher of Kundalini yoga, so it goes. He was born in 1922, so in 1973 he was already an old guy, especially for having a hippie band. He had a highly succesful organic vegetarian restaurant on Sunset Strip, Laurel Canyon, LA. Celebrity regulars: Marlon Brando, John Lennon, Julie Christie. At the peak his restaurant made 10,000$ a day. Oh, and he called himself Father Yod at this time, or YaHoWha, and he was the leader of a commune called the Source Family. After eating raw carrots and drinking home-made tea, they used to record psychedical space-rock in the early morning. These records were pressed only 500 or 1000 pieces a record, and they were sold in a corner of the restaurant. This is their best album. So it goes. Oh, in 1975 Father Yod moved to Hawaii, and went hang-gliding off a 1300-foot cliff, without experience. He crash-landed on the beach and died the next day. The Source Family made a few albums after his death, mostly containing laments about the death of Father Yod. So it goes.
