"Blood And Snow": Creepy Obscure Vinyl Recording About The Wild Hunt (1960s - 1970s?)
Backstory:
It was around Christmas 2003 or 2004 when I first heard it. When I was 16 I used to travel up-town to this residential area in a lower-middle class inner-city neighborhood, where there was this house called "The Garage." I had 4 separate groups of friends who all went there. An art Teacher from a local University put lots of artists up in exchange for them cooking meals, paying small rent or making art. The place was always stocked with Art supplies. Some of my bullshit I made there is probably somewhere. They were fun random smelly hippy people who made beautiful art all over town and produced strange music as well. I remember being the only person there who wasn't under the influence of something, which made this experience even more awkward, since everyone else just sat there stoned and said nothing while we listened.
Description:
It must've been from the 60s or 70s, that was the quality of it. Cracks Pops and such. There's different kinds of music samples that come and go to paint a picture, and there's lots of voices and sound effects cleverly cut in. Spoken word, maybe poetry?
There was a narrator, he's British, he sounds old, grim, grizzled, strange. There's wind and wilderness noises, it's bizarre. The narrator explains that he's "The Wild Hunter" a weird Northern European fall to winter traditional figure. He describes ancient hunter gatherers out in the snow hunting and keeps repeating the phrase "Blood And Snow" creepily.
You get to hear modern sounds of Christmas, and listen to the Narrator talk about them with disgust. He talks about how everyone has lost touch. He mentions Santa Clause and he says something to the effect of "You've tried to soften me, and fatten me, but I'm still here." he goes on to describe the Neo-Lithic roots of some of the Santa Clause-like Traditions of Traditional Yule.
I heard it again:
I briefly heard this played at a Pagan festival in my mid to late 20s in some one's facebook feed (which means it exists on the internet digitized somewhere), but their feed refreshed and they never found it again.
I'd like to have a copy of this. I know it exists. I don't know where to look. I'm working on it.
