NINE DAYS WONDER-ONLY THE DANCERS-'74 KRAUT PSYCH-NEW LP

NINE DAYS WONDER

ONLY THE DANCERS

NEW LP

REISSUE

LONGHAIR

Debut by this Walter Seyffer led band.

Excellent kraut psych comparable to bands like Epsilon, Nektar and Message.

This is the first officially reissue of the 3rd album of legendary German Krautrockband Nine Days Wonder.

Originally released in 1974 Nine Days Wonder with their 3rd album took the opportunity to do a recording session at Londons Chipping Norton Studios in September 1974.

With guest musicians Dave Jackson on flute and saxes (of Van der Graaf Generator-fame) and keyboarder Steve Robinson (2066 and Then and early-AERA) the album show the band on its musical peak.

The album is richly texted and features a mellow progressive rock with slightly glam-rock touches and reminds to David Bowis "Ziggy Stardust".

Without the jazz elements of the 1st album "Only The Dancers" is another step forward in to the upcoming glam-rock sound but with that special German Krautrock feel. Album comes with exact reproduction of original artwork, continuing band story and many rare photos (insert).
