Getriebe - Syncron 1975 EP (Germany, Krautrock, Prog Rock, Hard Rock)

Aqui temos um EP de 17 minutos, tempo suficiente para um lado de um LP cheio. Getriebe foi liderado por Detlev Schmidtchen, futuro tecladista do Eloy começando no álbum Dawn e terminando com Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes (e depois saiu para formar o bastante sem brilho Ego on the Rocks). Ironicamente, Getriebe vai lembrar aos ouvintes  Inside ou Floating (e meu período favorito do Eloy) mais do que o sofisticado Dawn. Na verdade, Getriebe soa como muitas das principais bandas alemãs de 1971.  Detlev Schmidtchen formou este grupo em 1971 em Hanover, e em 1975 eles ganharam uma competição de bandas locais chamada "Pop 75". O prêmio foi em um estúdio de gravação local, onde eles gravaram "Syncron".  Aparentemente, eles também ganharam a chance de jantar (?!) com Eloy, que eram os headliners convidados nesta competição / festival. Eloy furtou Schmidtchen o que causou a quebra do grupo.

Here we have a 17-minute EP, enough time for one side of a full LP. Getriebe was led by Detlev Schmidtchen, Eloy's future keyboardist starting on the Dawn album and ending with Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes (and then left to form the rather dull Ego on the Rocks). Ironically, Getriebe will remind the listeners Inside or Floating (and my favorite period of Eloy) more than the sophisticated Dawn. In fact, Getriebe sounds like many of the major German bands of 1971.

Detlev Schmidtchen formed this group in 1971 in Hanover, and in 1975 they won a competition of local bands called "Pop 75". The award went to a local recording studio, where they recorded "Syncron." Apparently they also won the dinner chance (?!) With Eloy, who were the invited headliners in this competition / festival. Eloy stole Schmidtchen which caused the group to break.

Black Wednesday - Black Wednesday 1979 (Germany, Krautrock, Progressive Rock, Hard Rock)

An entirely unknown Teutonic group, which nowhere else on the Web is any more information. Their only self-titled album was first released in 1978 in a bootlegging way, but only the following year it was printed on vinyl, but also privately. As for the content of the release, the opinions are rather contradictory: from "chic guitar progression" and "masterpiece of the early prog" to "nothing remarkable" ... But judging by itself is a very individual matter!
