Schule der Nacht is another element of the ftlpope conspiracy being fomented in Waterloo, London, England along with Seekers After Smooth Things, Monas and Sorrows of the Languedoc (see also their distant cousin Milagre dos Peixes) all on this site. The name should be School of Night but as names in English are often nabbed before one gets there, rendering them in a foreign language (here German) dodges the problem – for insights, see Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost and references to Elizabethan secret societies (Walter Raleigh, Christopher Marlowe etc).
More instrumental rock. The idea was to rediscover that ur-blues of some white 60’s and 70’s bands such as Led Zeppelin (first 2 albums), Allman Brothers Band, May Blitz (first album), Little Feat (first 4 albums) and ZZ Top in particular (first 3 albums) but then it all started drifting into The Meters, Funkadelic and more jazzy chord structures. Some of the material will be reproduced on Mixposure by another ftlpope band called Akademie des Tag (get it? Alternate to Schule der Nacht) who will do the same material on mainly acoustic or synthesized acoustic instruments.
Keep the faith and keep it secret – ftlpope.
