Germany, 1978. How these lads could record an album like this in 1978???
Absolutely early 70s sounding progressive & psychedelic folk-rock masterpiece of the first order!!! Entirely sung in English by an incredibly young female vocalist, Beate Krause, only 16 when recording!!!! Long tracks with excellent, killer acid guitar solos, and moog! If you like groups like Mellow Candle or Pentangle, no doubt you need to purchase this one fast. Often praised as "the best prog-folk record ever", we dont know if such a thing is true, but we can definitely say this is an absolute classic of the genre. Besides that, the original label pressed only 200 copies of the lp, imagine how hard to find this is.so here you have a new vinyl reissue of this wonderful record, with killer remastered sound, insert with photos and linernotes, in a limited edition of 700 copies.
It does not matter whether you see this kraut rock legend (for who's original releases you will sometimes have to pay around 500 Dollars) as a band version of EMTIDI around the "Saat" period, as a close relative to the english band MELLOW CANDLE which had similar folky songs and an equally enchanting female singer, or if you consider them a kraut rock version of JULIAN JAY SAVARIN - this re-release is more than justified by its own merits: a unique atmosphere, great songwriting and three previously unrealeased extra tracks, including a cover version of JANE's "River". A CD you will find you'll be putting on over and over again
