I'm Brazilian, I've always loved music and since I was little I buy and I listen to rock.
During the 70's I met a magazine called Pop, which I christened German Pop, since it was of Germanic origin, I did not understand what was written in the great majority, but it was there that I met the groups that I publish here on the blog today. Rock made in Germany is one of my favorites, but my taste is very eclectic.

Sou brasileira, sempre amei música e desde muito pequena compro e ouço rock. Durante os anos 70 conheci uma revista chamada Pop, que batizei de Pop Alemã, uma vez que era de origem germânica, eu não entendia o que estava escrito na sua grande maioria, mas foi ali que conheci os grupos que hoje publico aqui no blog. O rock feito da Alemanha é um dos meus favoritos, mas meu gosto é muito eclético.

Alguém tem este disquinho!

Recebi um email ano passado da Alemanha elogiando o blog e me perguntando se eu sabia algo sobre este disco, descobri apenas informações no RYM e passei adiante. Ontem recebi outro email da mesma pessoa me perguntando se teria como conseguir o single, se alguém tiver por gentileza entre em contato. Obrigada

Hi Marcia,

We're announcing the cassette/CD release of Casual Strangers cosmic instrumental album, Pink Panther. I was looking at your blog and i think you'll appreciate it.

Title-track PINK PANTHER along with our spin-art album cover.  https://soundcloud.com/casualstrangers/pink-panther

KUTX STUDIO 1A PINK PANTHER SESSION:  


Artist: Casual Strangers
Album: Pink Panther
Format: Cassette/Digital 
Label: Split Pursuit
Release: 2/26/16
Genre: Experimental / Ambient / Shoegaze 

Casual music for the wandering mind...
After successfully self-releasing their debut record in 2014, Casual Strangers headed into a new direction, composing live instrumental sound panoramas and minimal ambient experiments for the wandering mind. The new album, Pink Panther, showcases the use of synthesized textures to create back-to-nature moods where vintage electronics are counterbalanced by lap steel and acoustic guitar. The album moves from full-on psychedelic instrumental rock to relaxed experimental ambient minimalism.  Pink Panther will be released on a run of pink cassettes. The music video for the lead track, Holocene Dream, was produced by SlackElectric ArtHouse and videoing.

The Nazgûl (Germany-Krautrock-Dark Ambient) 1975.The Nazgûl

An other ultra rare and long time lost 70's kosmische-kraut-psychedelica project published on the obscure Pyramid label for 50 copies, recently reissued on PsiFi. Weird trippy organ experimentations / improvisations with the add of acoustic, concrete noises, guitar manipulations. In the vein of Sand, Pyramid, Temple and Early Tangerine Dream but with colder ambiences and with a conceptual approach. Extremely experimental release.

Seedog (Germany-Kraut) 1974.We Hope To See You



An obscure Berlin supergroup featuring ex-Agitation Free and Lied Des Teufels members, though playing a rather uncharacteristic music for a German band, notably influenced by American West Coast bands like the Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service, with multiple guitars and a slight jazzy bent. A really nice album that's in a world of its own.

Out Of The City / Seerock / Scizoid Games / Black Snails / Expresso Brasil

Jurgen Karg (Germany-Kraut) 1977.Elektronische Mythen

A surprising diversion from the former Wolfgang Dauner bassist, that's not jazz in any sense of the word! What Jürgen came up with on ELEKTRONISCHE MYTHEN had more in common with early Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream's ZEIT, or more atmospheric electronic Karlheinz Stockhausen, typically Teutonic Kosmische electronic. Performed on four EMS synthesizers and other (unnamed) devices, the range of tonalities is quite remarkable. It's a fascinating record, atmospheric yet very dark and mysterious, both marginally melodic and purely amelodic, and well worth checking out.

Jessica (Germany-Kraut) 1973.Bearbeitung Von Reger Op. 89-27

Sensacional álbum!
An obscure classical rock band, largely centred around Henner Herdick's noodly Jürgen Fritz like piano work (with occasional harpsichord styled and synthesizer embellishments), feeling somewhat like a slightly jazzy instrumental Triumvirat, with nods to The Nice or Ekseption, with a wealth of diverse classical references all knitted together into an ambitious and complex four part suite.
Note: Although this is generally listed as an eponymous album, this often also gets listed under the subtitle "Bearbeitung Von Reger Op.89/27" in the Cosmic Price Guide.
Allegreto Grazioso / Andantino / Vivace / Allegro Con Spirito

Peter Büchler (guitar), Lothar Piechottka (bass), Klaus T. Talges (drums), Henner Herdick (keyboards, synthesizer)

Changes (Germany-Fusion) 1979.Home Again


An obscure Berlin jazz-rock band (formed 1979) that we first encountered long ago via their tracks on BERLIN FUSION. They are of historical note for featuring Joachim Litty and Niko Schäuble (both later of Die Elefanten). Only very recently did we learn of an LP by them. The extracts heard from HOME AGAIN amount to a light fusion with a bossa/samba feel. 1981 line-up: Matthias Loose (bass), Joachim Litty (reeds), Joachim Seidel (guitar), Klaus Walter (drums), Dietmar Peetz (keyboards).

Chameleon (Germany-Jazz/Fusion) 1979.Chameleon

A jazz-rock group from the Mannheim region, Chameleon played a richly textured and melodic fusion strongly featuring (ex-Night Sun) Knut Rössler as soloist on a variety of winds. Often akin to later Release Music Orchestra, and with some notable Return To Forever type stylisms, Chameleon chose an apt name considering the wide range of influences and moods their sole album contained. After their demise Knut Rössler went on to various other projects.

Sand (Germany-Kraut) 1975.Sylph Ballet

Sand is cosmic/psychedelic 'Krautrock' style and influenced David Tibet of Current 93. Still living in the mythical landscapes SAND not only created Golem who was a being of the earth. Something else pulsated with a different energy of oscillation. The invisible beings of the air performed their dances. The Golem was large, mighty and of compact matter. He needed an external spirit to be navigated. Sylph creatures moved with the clouds and the wind - from gentle breezes to violent storms, always sensitive to the chimes of the motions. The sylphs are the children of the moonlight as well as the elves with broken wings. The sylph ballet is riding upon ethereal horses and its airy spirit comes true in dawn levitation.

Jurgen Fritz (Germany-Kraut) 1989.Es Ist Nicht Leicht Ein Gott Zu Sein (Soundtrack)

Though sometimes quoted nonchalantly as the German Keith Emerson or Rick Wakeman, the former Triumvirat leader Jürgen Fritz may indeed have been a phenomenal keyboardist in his early days, yet he has been nowhere near as prolific as his British counterparts.
He has done some production work (nothing notable), and featured as a guest with Satin Whale, Tanned Leather, Helmut Koellen, Gänsehaut (two albums), Trude Herr (a German pop singer), Hollywood, and even with Eric Burdon, but not much as a soloist.
Apart from some film and TV soundtrack work (which seems to be unreleased), we only know of the one actual solo album, which is also a film soundtrack, a computer music opera, totally overblown conceptually, intriguing for the very pompous title "Hard To Be A God" it reminds of some early Rick Wakeman instrumental works, but with a more modern instrumentation. After this, he worked in the duo Millenium.

Ouverture / The Eyes Of Anka / Rumata's Arrival (opening titles) / Surens's Escape / Kyra's Theme / Anticipation / The Valley Of The Swords / Rumata & Pampa (The Ride) / Love Theme / The Shadow Of Death (Reba's Theme) / The Battle / The City Of Arkaner / Rumata & Pampa (reprise) / Finale & Epilogue / Hard To Be A God
