Requested Herbolzheimer albums (1979 ST and 1981 Bandfire), lossless temp link

Extensive discography here. Most of these albums have at most 1 or 2 tracks worth listening to, and are stuffed with cover versions of sometimes ridiculous tunes, sometimes decent ones.  The album called Bandfire is roughly half covers for ex., with some tracks written by Herbolzheimer. Sadly it was difficult for me to extract a sample worth hearing from that one, never a good experience.  On the other hand, the H. composition Feet Back Brother which appeared on other albums prior, from the 1979 ST live, is nice:

Some familiar names appear in these bands, eg Bo Stief and the miraculous guitarist Eef Albers.

Anyways, very smooth fusion by this large band. It's a hard slog, perhaps pointless, if you want to go through the whole discography to find some exceptional pieces, somewhat fruitless, or perhaps a bit: fruitbit-- as opposed to fruitful.

Deus Ex Machina, Cinque, temporary link only

 

This band is like the recent times' version of the classic Italian band Aera which it really feels like a perfect continuation of. There are very harsh dissonances, even harsher singing, all in latin of course, and really bizarre chords and melodies.  Sometimes it's successful but sometimes not.  It's hard to really enjoy the vocals.

Oddly enough the title doesn't represent the number of the albums, this is likely the 7th release. If you heard their previous ones, it's pretty much indistinguishable in my opinion.

Unusually for a prog band, they have their own wikipedia and allmusic pages.

Tie Break in 1991 with Gin Gi Lob

 Just as crazy as the original one with nutty songs and odd riffs. What a shock they continued in this oddball manner into the first year of Grunge when Nirvana and Pearl Jam completely changed popular music. Thank god for uncompromising artists.

The surprisingly jazzy Ostatni Joint:

Tie Break follows up with the 1990 Cassette Duch

 

The music albeit experimental has gotten a bit more laidback and ambient in places. Crazy vocalizing still appears here and there. Some tracks feature / are spoiled by some insane (take away the s?) ethnic styled chanting. Nonetheless I reassure you this is worth hearing.

Title track:

Tie Break, 1989

 

The band achieves a remarkably complex progressive fusion sound on top of harder rock with all the electric instruments active and in the forefront. This is the first one from 1989. I appreciate that it's very much rock based, but combined with the oddest sounds, melodies, riffs, somewhat like what the early 80s Germanic progressive rockers were doing along the lines of say Kjol. Really a nice find, and again, out of the blue. And out of the ballpark too.
