Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

8. Von HimmelSpace Communion

This LP inspired me to start recording the first Anthroprophh album when it came out in 2010. Johnny O [Rocket Records honcho] brought it to my attention at the time. With its detail from Ash Ra Tempel’s Schwingungen on the sleeve I initially thought its inspiration was purely driven by a kind of cavey version of krautrock like Siloah or the Swedish band International Harvester. On further listens there seems to be elements of drone and clever usage of field recordings without sounding too Pro Tools. This band has produced three LPs with little ceremony and little is known about who they actually are.
