Kickbit Information – Bitkicks (1998)

“Pure krautrock gravy from the loins of some of its finest architects, the hairy jazz rock blowout herein being choice enough to even overlook the gristly and distorted warts-and-all recording quality of these never-intended-for-release rehearsal room recordings. Led by Ex-Guru Guru and future Spacebox bassist Uli Trepte, this briefly assembled outfit (which also featured Frumpy’s Carsten Bohn and Thirsty Moon’s Willi Pape) churn out three slabs of classic kraut fusion here in the rawboned and hectic style that Trepte would soon carry forward with Spacebox.”

Birth Control – Live (1974)

“Birth Control’s straightforward progressive rock sound is perfectly demonstrated on Birth Control Live, recorded in June 1974… The best example of their early-’70s sound can be found on the 15 minutes of “Back from Hell” and on the even longer “Gamma Ray” combining an entertaining mix of improvised guitar and keyboard interplay that wonderfully stretches itself out.”

Space Debris – Elephant Moon (2008)

“Space Debris are a German band whose music will transport you back 30 years to the pioneering days of Krautrock and Progressive influenced Psychedelia. Lots of lengthy stretch out guitar jams and an old time organ sound that will make you swoon. Influences range from Amon Düül and Can on the one hand to a psychedelicious take on the Santana, Allman Brothers, and early Deep Purple stylings. If you like early 70’s styled jamming hard prog-psych you’ll love this.”

Pyrior – Oceanus Procellarum (2010)

“Pyrior started during the year 2008 as a musician’s community dedicated to jam-sessions. This jam-sessions result in a trio of a classic rock formation, Torsten Bass, Max Appeal – Guitar and Olin – Drums. The music of Pyrior is a round mix of stoner rock and heavy psychedellic rock in a cosmic haze. It burns like a Pulsar and floats in an atmospheric space.”
