Full review
An excellent German band who's debut album was remarkable and original. Since the early 1970's they have been one of tthe leading purveyors of so called Krautrock. But they were unique in the respect of blending Rock / Jazz and Ethnic styles. Especially Arabian.
Although based in Munich they did have a small underground following in the UK i believe when they toured here!
Consisting of mostly four fine musicians. There is lots of wonderfull Sax , Guitar , Bass ,Drums interplay to enjoy here.....as there is on all of there records. Bass and sax are particularly distnctive as is the guitar work..... the rhythm playing in particular is very outstanding. Vocals were german accented ,sung in English , but mostly they were an instrumental band.
Although this record is not there finest.....try the 'Live ' double for starters ( i think you can still get it! ) .... all albums are really great though. If you like this one i think you'll like them all. Nearly all of them being remastered for CD .
Another excellent group for you to discover if you have never heard of them! Highly Recommended.
