Ohr (, plural: ''ʾoroṯ'') is a central Kabbalistic term in Jewish mysticism. The analogy to physical light describes divine emanations. Shefa "flow" ( ''šep̄aʿ'') and its derivative, hashpaʾa "influence" ( ''hašpāʿā''), are sometimes alternatively used in Kabbalah and medieval Jewish philosophy to mean divine influence, while the Kabbalists favour ''ʾor'' because its numerical value equals , a homonym for ''rāz'' "mystery". ''ʾOr'' is one of the two main Kabbalistic metaphors for understanding God, along with the other metaphor of the human soul-body relationship for the sefirot.

Krautrock Musical Groups
Krautrock (also called , German for ) is a broad genre of experimental rock that developed in Germany in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It originated among artists who blended elements of psychedelic rock, avant-garde composition, and electronic music, among other eclectic sources. Common elements included hypnotic rhythms, extended improvisation, musique concrète techniques, and early synthesizers, while the music generally moved away from the rhythm & blues roots and song structure found in traditional rock music. Prominent groups associated with the krautrock label included Neu!, Can, Faust, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Cluster, Ash Ra Tempel, Popol Vuh, Amon Düül II and Harmonia.

Electrip (Xhol Caravan Album)
''Electrip'' is the second of three studio albums by the German band Xhol Caravan, an influential member of the krautrock music movement. The album was recorded and released in 1969, and marks a significant departure from the band’s debut effort, 1967’s '' Get in High''. While that album spotlighted the American blues origins of then-singers Ronnie Swinson and James Rhodes, by 1969 Rhodes and Swinson were gone and so were pop and blues conventions. On ''Electrip'', these are abandoned in favor of extended forays into progressive rock, free jazz, fusion, improvisation, and experimentation. Originally released on Hansa Records Hansa Records (also known as Hansa, Hansa Musik Produktion or Hansa International) was a record label based in Berlin, Germany founded in 1962. History In the early 1960s, brothers Peter and Thomas Meisel, grandchildren of Will Meisel, who was th ..., the album was repackaged and rereleased in 2000 on the Garden of Delights label.
