The one and only album from this band from Germany.
The band was a duo with a lineup of gongs, drums, percussion, guitar, synths, organs, keyboards and vocals.
This band was a short lived band who released this album and a live album the following year. None of the albums sold well.
The music here is a mix of ELP like symphonic prog and krautrock.
There is indeed a lot of krautrock here with all the eccentric electronic sounds. Tangerine Dreams like electronic prog pops up on a track on this three quarters of an hour long album.
The material is a bit uneven in quality. From the rather good Nice/ELP inspired pieces here to the a bit sub-standard avant-garde electronic stuff.
The music is also a bit all over the placed and unhinged. The band crammed in a lot of various expressions on this album.
The sound is decent and ditto for the instruments and the vocals. This is a pretty interesting crossover album between symphonic prog and krautrock though.
In it's own right, this is a decent album and well worth checking out.
