“One of the most original, layered, and innovative krautrock bands, Embryo fuses traditional ethnic music with their own jazzy space-rock style. Over the course of their decades-long existence, the group has traveled the world, played with hundreds of different musicians, and released dozens of records. Almost every album features different lineups and styles.”
“Peter Michael HAMEL founded BETWEEN, an international band specialised in improvisational / « ethnic » rock music. The name Between comes from the fact that Hamel’s music is originaly “in-between”, always making a combination between “popular music” and “serious music”… “And the waters openened” recorded in 1973 carries on improvisations and acoustic exploration, played in a rather “spacey” rock atmosphere, sometimes closed to krautrock, weird flavour.”
Heavy psychedelic jams by members of Journey, Santana and Sly & the Family Stone.
“Originally born as a German-British band, the music of MESSAGE oscillates between a substantial heavy rock and a nice folk rock articulated around a range of keyboards arrangements. Their first album was recorded under the direction of the famous musical engineer Dieter Dierks. The result sounds remarkably as British progressive rock of the moment. Very melodic, with a ravishing and an accomplished lyrical sense of composition. Their following album is as great as the previous one, delivering impressive, extended, mainly instrumental heavy/ space rock tracks which can be compared (in some parts) to NEKTAR’s first effort.”
Space jams by English space rock band Hawkwind recorded live at Liverpool Stadium 22.12.72 and at Brixton Sundown, London 30.12.72.
Lobby Loyde, “godfather of heavy rock in Australia”, with guests Thorpe and Leo de Castro jamming at the Sunbury Pop Festival.
“An obscure instrumental Krautrock band from the 70s. Ecclectic, psychedelic epic rock with lot of Hammond organs, heavy drums and jamming guitars. Their album Orion Awakes (1973) belongs to Pyramid Records archives. Amazing, catchy improvised free spacey rockin’ trip that can reminds the best efforts delivered by early Pink Floyd, Gila, Dies Irae, Jane.”
