Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deeply obscure but fascinating artifact from the Brain Records catalog, this German ensemble's sole release straddles the line between heavy psychedelic rock and the more expansive tendencies of Krautrock. Featuring fuzzed-out guitars, swirling Hammond organs, and remarkably passionate vocal performances, the recording possesses a raw, emotive energy that separates it from the mechanical precision of many of their contemporaries. It remains a prized collector's item for aficionados of European heavy psych.
