chandra Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Pelagic Records release ltd. THE OCEAN - THE GRAND INQUiSITOR 10" EP - feat. previously unreleased track THE GRAND INQUISITOR is a 10" vinyl E.P. featuring the 3 "Grand Inquisitor" - tracks from current album "Anthropocentric", as well as the 4th, previously unreleased chapter entitled "The Grand Inquisitor IV - Exclusion From Redemption". This 7-minutes track is thematically completing the "Grand Inquisitor" - series, which makes reference to the chapter of the same title in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel The Brothers Karamasov. The Legend of the Grand Inquisitor finds Christ in medieval Seville during the Spanish Inquisition, healing the sick and raising the dead. He is captured and sentenced to be burned at the stake. The Grand Inquisitor, who questions Christ, views his presence as an encroachment in his own work: by rejectingthe Devil's 3 temptations, the grand inquisitor argues, Christ is consciously and willingly depriving humanity of happiness - for the sake of freedom, which entails suffering. The grand inquisitor, representing the church, claims to have “corrected Thy work, and founded it upon miracle, mystery, and authority”; corresponding to the three temptations of the Devil – under the false guise of Christ himself. Humanity is not meant to ever be free, the grand inquisitor argues. By denying man freedom, him and his church are providing for his happiness. The lyrics of "The Grand Inquisitor IV - Exclusion From Redemption" make reference to the grand inquisitor's ideas and to his fierce speech about Christ's naive notion of humanity and his uncompassionate ideal of freedom. Two different artists visualized the grand inquisitor for us: Dawid Piprek from Berlin and Chris Smith from Pittsburgh.The result showcases the individual artists' very different take on the subject: Piprek's stark pencil-drawing captures the smug, authoritative gesture of the grand inquisitor, holding his hands over the cathedral of Seville. Smith's coloured approach, in contrast, depicts the inquisitor as a hermit, who, much like jesus, went out to the wilderness himself, before wising up: "I too have been in the wilderness, I too lived on roots and locusts, I too prized the freedom with which Thou hast blessed us… But I awakened and would not serve madness."

Eclipsical Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Would anyone be interested if I imported some records for Pelagic? I can't get this 10" but I can get pretty much anything else and it will be much cheaper. Probably less than $85 for the Heliocentric/Anthropocentric 4xLP box and $18 for the single LPs (Fogdiver, Age of The Fifth Sun, Exit Eden...).

Yeah, I can't get the 10" because it's almost sold out already. If you want the Heliocentric/Anthropocentric 4xLP box (should be about $85) or the Precambrian 3xLP (should be about $32) I need to know. Those LPs are really heavy so they add a TON onto the postage cost. I should have enough of the other LPs to go around (God Is An Astronaut - Age of The Fifth Sun, The Ocean - Fogdiver and Earthship - Exit Eden.)
