Staff Carpenborg & The Electric Corona

Fantastic Party

new LP

"Listening to this record the very first time we thought that the history of Krautrock has to be rewritten. While this may have been some kind of over-enthusiastic, spontaneous reaction, it seems to be about time to share one of the last great Kraut secrets with the rest of the world. After more than a decade of countless re-releases in this field (and quite a couple of stinkers among them) you might be tempted to believe that there can hardly be any more undiscovered jewels out there which are worth your attention. But wait: some of the real stuff refused to catch your eye and ear because you wouldn't expect to look for it on conservative labels notorious for classical music only (e.g. 'Wired' on Deutsche Grammophon), in avantgarde-jazz surroundings (e.g. the first 'Et Cetera' Album) or like in this case hidden in an inconceivably disgusting cover on a cheapo label like Maritim, usually known for James Last impersonators and Humba-Tätärä Bierzeltmuzak. The Electric Corona's Fantastic Party was their strangest and most outrageous attempt to cash in with one of such party records in 1970. And while the average customer of that kind of crap has probably lost all his friends and the party was over soon as the needle hit the grooves, these weird sounds make perfect sense for more sophisticated party animals who could imagine to have a hell of a good time while Hapshash & The Coloured Coat are jamming with Can (or whatever your own associations may be. The heavy noodling of Staff Carpenborg defies description because nothing else really sounds like it.) This forgotten and overlooked artefact of Teutonic freakness would be regarded as a Krautrock classic nowadays had it been released on Ohr, Brain or Pilz."
