Curt Cress Clan, CCC 1975 [limited time only]

Undoubtedly, a masterpiece of German fusion, with the highest energy, the most amazing ideas, enjoyable from beginning to end, on a par with the best German one-offs or almost one-offs such as Chameleon, Surgery, Virgin's Dream, Cyklus, Ex Ovo Pro, Zebulon, our very own Nimbus, etc., etc.  First of all notice that in addition to the drummer namer himself, the line-up for this one-off band from 1975 included Volker Kriegel and Ack van Rooyen, two very familiar artists.  In case you're curious as I was, the latter plays cornet on occasional tracks.  Most of the songwriting duty, which always interests me, is between Curt Cress and the bassist, American Dave King, who of course I've never heard of.  Some tracks by keyboardist Kristian Schultze.   Not surprisingly Kriegel stays out of the limelight here--his own albums of this period were absolutely chock-full of gems.

The Schultze-penned track called Fields sounds like one of the best library funk tracks of the 70s I've ever heard in my life:





I beg you, oh holy decade, to serve up to me more music like this, please please please...
