The Krautrock Space - Progressive Rock Music Forum

^Hey Damo!

I really enjoyed that clip, thanks buddy Party

Truth be told, I have been looking for this record a couple of times, but I never really got lucky. Perhaps it is time to investigate again - your review certainly suggests that I should Wink

Well I can safely say that Universe Zero sound nothing like Krautrock, but were rather one of the most successful chamber rock acts coming out of Europe in the late 70s. Highly recommended though...

And that's what makes Seger's participation so appealing because he normally plays a style that is nothing like Krautrock.

I just got this fabulous album called Gurumaniax, and what an album it is!!!

Featuring both Mani and Ax this one is damn near as close to an original Guru Guru release - had it not been for the involvement of bassist extraordinaire Guy Segers off Univers Zero!!! Rrrrrraaauuww!!

If anyone here thinks this sounds like a tasty combo, then here's a clip from the album:

Man this really plays with your head.. Smoke

I never heard anything from Universe Zero, but now I should check them out.

John: I find it a tad suspicious that we quite often seem to go hand in hand musically. Are you by any chance spying on me you crazy man? LOL

Seriously though, I fully agree with you on that release - it is just mindblowingly sweet to hear these guys play together, and on the face of it one wouldn't really know that they're somewhere between 80 and 300 years old...

Steve: I'm glad you liked it. I feel somewhat guilty - just hurling vid after vid after you, but it sure feels nice having you around here. So yeah, do feel free to stop me when you think it is getting out if hand LOL

BTW I really like music that's contrived as well - it just has got to have some soul.

Me ? Spying on you ? Well that's just silly, it's not like i have your address or anything like that.

Yeah the picture of the boys(Gurumaniax) in the liner notes paints something you might see at the Senoir Centre

. The music of course paints another picture. A picture of three ultra talented musicians who still kick ass !.

BTW I saw you talking about your affection of Canterbury in another thread, and I wondered if you have heard a German band called Nosferatu? They made one album back in 1970, which combines both Canterbury and Krautrock resulting in a very seductive groove. It's got a huge gorilla on the cover as well, but I can't show it to you right now, as I am writing this on my phone.

Nope, never heard of that one!

I really dig how the track develops into these beautiful atmospheric flute emanations lead on by a mumbling bass line and some gentle percussive work.

That's an interesting combination of elements. It reminded me a little bit at first of Captain Beyond, kind of a psychedelic/prog hybrid - but CB wouldn't have had such a lengthy mid-section like that. They hit upon a really neat sound in that mid-section, just freaky enough to raise my eyebrows ("far out!", they were heard to say), but not so freaky as to sound contrived and excessive (not that I mind that either...he he). Interesting stuff, thanks for that.

Of course, you're right.

^^ Good stuff, it really does sound like Guru Guru! Is that a recent release?

btw, once when I was reviewing Ax Genrich's "Wave Cut", I misspelled his name "Gingrich" by accident, much to the editor's amusement.
