''Discover Odin'' is an album and booklet written by Julian Cope and released in a limited edition in 2001. It was produced in collaboration with the British Museum. It comprises a mixture of musical and spoken tracks. In the first track, "The 18 Charms of Odin", Cope provides musical accompaniment to the text of the epic Norse poem Hávamál, in Kevin Crossley-Holland's version, as published in ''The Norse Myths''. The second track "Discover Odin" is Cope's spoken account of the alleged misinterpretation of the Norse myths by Roman historians and Christians, with comments on the religious traditions of Nordic cultures and their neolithic forebears. Cope suggests that Odin originated as a weather god and as the shaman Óðr. Later tracks mix musical and spoken material on the subject of the Odin stone of Orkney, the neolithic hill of Silbury and the World Ash Tree, Yggdrasil. The final track is a recording of a poem read by its author Vachel Lindsay (1879-1931). ==Tracklisting== # The 18 Charms of Odin # Discover Odin # Ode to Wan (Parts 1&2) # Yggdrasil & the Stone of Odin # Road to Yggdrasilbury # I want to go Wandering 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Discover Odin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
