Fusion jams by German krautrock band Thirsty Moon recorded live, 29.05.1975, at “Lila Eule”, Bremen, Germany.
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.”
Nechayevschina – Yeniçeri (2009)
Mystic psychedelic trips through Eastern influenced improvisational music.
Magical Unicellular Music – Inconceivable (2009)
“Magical Unicellular Music Of Solntsetsvety appeared as a result of a successful experiment, during which Solntsetsvety (transcontinental artistic group) decided to try and transfer the qualities of the mechanical beat to the entire band. Turned out that music, thus devoid of structure and theme attains special expressiveness. Because of the ever-changing perception of the musicians and the audience this outwardly monotonous music has an inward development. The band is formed by bass-guitar, guitar, drums, radiotuner, sometimes keyboard synthesizer is added. The foundation of the V.O.M. sound is the resonance that appears in the course of interaction of intensified sound of guitars and special method of playing drums.”
Lighted – Queendom (2011)
“A strange poisonous gas has been leaking steadily into the basement, and it seems to have created a new toxic variety of mold that makes the hippies get violent. Hailing from Minneapolis MN, Lighted lay down aggressive synth squelch and circular diatonic guitar-scuzz over dead solid trap-kit booms and trance inducing zoner fuzz. Grimy biker-rock moves (ala Hawkwind sans fantasy gouda) combine with slamming rhythms and epic kraut-drones to create killer tracks of contemporary white knuckle psychedelia. When the smoke clears, the fingerboard is splintered and the power strip is shooting sparks. Their releases capture live improvisations. Heavily psychedelic and totally groovy.”
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.”
The Cosmic Dead – Psychonaut (2011)
“The Cosmic Dead is a new, amazing, experimental and cosmic psych/space/kraut/drone rock collective from Glasgow, Scotland. These guys have been playing together actively since early 2010 and their first actual album was released on tape in May. This really mind-blowing tape has four tracks and is 80 minutes long, so be prepared for long, trippy jams.”
Squadra Omega – Tenebroso (2008)
“Squadra Omega is an Italian psychedelic free-form jam band that knows how to bend your ears. It is The Grateful Dead, Sun Ra and Coltrane all rolled together in one night of all joy and dread abandoned. This is some of the best free improvisation you will find in avant jazz and rock. There’s a lot of 70s jam rock influence but they interact and mix their influences together totally 21st century.”
Kraftwerk – K4 (Bremen Radio 1971) (2006)
A live rarity from the early days of Kraftwerk with Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger so basically we get mix of Kraftwerk and Neu! Whole album consisting of long distorted heavy krautrock jams with doom mood ala Black Sabbath.
