'Recorded "live" to analog 2-track at SWF-Studio U1, Baden-Baden (Germany), October 27, 1972'
'Produced by SWF, nowadays SWR, 1972'
For once those CD reissue people found a decent cover painting to keep the continuity with the original album covers (in this case, Long Hair). This is just a stunning artifact of the early 70s German fusion scene, and as one reviewer mentioned on the discogs site, it's even better than their ST debut album from 1972, already extremely good itself. The opening track called Resurrection just takes me straight up to heaven, in fact it would just about make me Lazarus himself with its raw and uncompromising dissonant chords, so similar to the zeuhl spirit of for example Xalph or the extreme prog dissonance / modern music sound of for example Swiss Island's Pictures:
Even more shocking is when it transforms into a with vocals track with an absolutely uncompromising melody. Hard to believe it was left off that first album!
The main composer and founder Reinhardt Karwatky here was just so on top of his game, it's astounding.

ReplyDeleteAny chance on a re-up? Link is deader than winter grass in Siberia....
ReplyDeleteyes, that was because it's a cd release, so don't want to shaft the artist, but here's another limited time reup:
