 Daniel Quinn message/review of The Holy - Culture Change
The interim gods were worshipped for hundreds of years, and were not thereafter called by the Bible phony or nonexistent, but instead acknowledged as extant.
The story in Daniel Quinn’s new book, The Holy, concerns two main themes that hit me over the head: (1) independent living, i.e., being yourself and following your best potential destiny, and (2) modern humans in the consumer culture are unaware of the power of nature and of the universe.
A man in modern day Chicago is hired to investigate what happened to the gods that the Israelites adopted and worshipped after they got to "the promised land." The Israelites had turned their back on the True (Sky) God that supposedly delivered them from Egypt.

 BOOK REVIEW. Daniel Quinn, Ishmael
Many of the indigenous tribes of the earth appear to have developed systems of beliefs which allow them to live within the bounds of natural law and create sustainable societies lasting thousands of years.
In doing so man will then be able to create a sustainable society and can begin to live again in harmony with the planet.
Again, a rather simplistic view of these tribes and their histories, but the main problem I have with this portion of the book is the lack of specific ways in which these indigenous beliefs can be adapted and used to create a sustainable society here and now.

Quinn's another minor genius; his work is none too original (Ishmael is really basically another "buddy book," only one of the buddies is a two-ton silverback gorilla), but the way he expressed his views (and what those views are) really opened my eyes to a lot of new ideas.
Throughout the whole book I was having Quinn flashbacks...especially with regards to Big Brother's Song and Dance...the plague you can catch through your ears...or what Quinn referred to as Mother Culture.

It comes off best when he sings in a slightly lower register, and adds vocal harmonies to the mix, like on Of Things to Come.
One the first, Quinn sings over his droning webs of sound, with a vocal style that falls somewhere between traditional folk and a male version of Nico.
Quinn utilizes the trumpet more on these tracks, bringing out his Jon Hassell influences, though he definitely brings a more wintry, European feel to his pieces, where Hassell would have tended more towards a warm, tropical world beat feel.
