Nick - what sort of musical direction does Orplid have? Rammstein,
Weissglut, some of the more German Gothic-y sort of direction?=20

Greetings all!

This new web-site is indeed a delight to behold.  The sleek, =

look works very well.  I think that an online data-bank containing some =
of=20
EJ's more obscure texts is a good idea.  But, how about some more =
recent=20
articles as well?  Did Herrn J=FCnger pen any interesting editorials =
whilst he

headed "Antaios", for example?  Since the site also addresses Ernst
Niekisch,=20
an online gallery of selections by A. Paul Weber might be a nice way of =

complementing the whole. =20

As an aside, I was pleased to see some poetry and artwork by Uwe Nolte =
at=20
this location.  I would highly recommend Uwe's musical project "Orplid" =
to=20
any who care to listen.  They are one of the best of a new breed of =
German=20
bands who are forging a link between tradition and modernity.  The end
result=20
is a dark, deep cornucopia of sounds, which remains both emotive and
engaging.

In Amicitia,

Nick. =20
