This German band was formed by the brothers Rolf and Klaus Fichter in 1973 and recorded only one album, “A Meditation Mass”, an atmospheric, psychedelic, meditative (as the title suggests) and mostly instrumental musical piece.
—
After several vain attempts in many bands, the brothers Rolf and Klaus Fichter finally found in 1973 their own musical identity. At this time the band original name BRONTOSAURUS changes to YATHA SIDHRA, a musical name which is really suitable for the new musical orientation taken by the two musicians. Particularly attentive to ethnic and meditative influences in popular music, they began to work on a long & epic piece called “A Meditation Mass” (under the influence of the famous Achim Reichel, the virtual member of the band who produces the album in 1974).
The first intention was to create a dreamy musical landscape where the Moog synth, the flute & traditional “percussive” instruments play an important part. Seen as a concept album, “A Meditation Mass” is almost exclusively instrumental. A long suite divided in two themes with two variations for each one. A beautiful and ecstatic musical journey. Their sound oscillates between “pastoral” folk music, spacey rock with the addition of discreet jazzy accents. After this impressive work, YATHA SIDHRA is dissolved. At the beginning of the eighties, the brothers Fichter formed a new band called DREAMWORLD. A more synth meditative pop orientated music but it’s worth checking.

I would have to place this within my top 5 all time fav albums . Since its CD release it can now be enjoyed as the singe suite it was intended to be.Quite brilliant anyone not familiar with this give it a spin at once.Its shimmering ethnic sound fabric constantly shiting and weaving its web is spellbinding.
