The debut album by this legendary German band, which is similar to "Yeti" and "Phallus Dei" by Amon DUUL II.

Certainly a classic of the genre and one of the first albums to be released on the Ohr label in 1970.

On 180 gram vinyl, coming with a printed inner sleeve.

One of the most significant bands to rise out of the Krautrock scene of the 1970s, the Munich-based musical collective Embryo has been led through the decades by multi-instrumentalist and visionary Christian Burchard, during which time he has used the Embryo moniker to collaborate with literally hundreds of musicians.

Although the groups sound has since become synonymous with World Music, for their brilliant 1970 debut, "Opal", the band was still fully immersed in the jazzy acid psych sound that still continues to earn them many devoted fans.

Additional information:
This reissue is from a different master tape and mix than that of the original LP.
Most notable differences include: No hard left and right panning of the instruments. B1 is a totally different mix, and omits the last 12 seconds of the original. B3 adds strong reverb on the violin and vocals, which are not present on the original LP. B4 misses the first 4 seconds.
