Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released as one of the very first titles on the legendary Ohr label, the Munich-based collective's debut is a fierce, sprawling collision of jazz-rock improvisation and dark German psychedelia. Dominated by Christian Burchard's relentless drumming and Edgar Hofmann's aggressive saxophone work, it represents a crucial, early milestone in the development of Kosmische Musik.
