Dream Weapons present: UNHEIMLICH C60

https://yadi.sk/d/Z_k4SpkAY0gYmg

The common understanding of unheimlich is defined in Sigmund Freud's essay "Das Unheimliche" (published in 1919) where he explores the eeriness of dolls and strangeness in the ordinary. A few layers of meaning gets lost when translated into «uncanny», but its still about something both familiar and unfamiliar. Potentially it can be comforting and discomforting simultaneously. «Oh, that’s just the attic ghost again» or «you look exactly like me!». An «other» kind of haunting beauty is what I was going for. But don’t let my ramblings get in the way for you to decide for yourself -Moahaha

    1. Thank you Rayma! お百度こいさ is from a 1977 2LP collection titled のすべて. Not on discogs but I found the cover:

      -but you can also find the song on this 1962 3LP-collection - which is probably more interesting as a whole (as their earlier material is their best):
