SPERRMÜLL

For some reason this obscure tripped out Krautrock classic one off from Sperrmull ( meaning garbage dump in German ) on the Green Brain label commands ridiculous prices over the internet. More of a novelty item, for the most part the record sounds like a commune of groovin` hippies who missed the slow boat to the `70s with psyched out tracks like Me And My Girlfriend and Right Now. Well produced by Dieter Dierks, there are, however, actually a couple of tracks like No Freak Out, which features some really cool extended Hammond and guitar sections, that are interest to those into early Krautrock freakouts a la Amon DuulII, Xhol Caravan and Jane though. Also of interest is the use of acoustic guitars and mandolins as rhythm instruments. Reminds me of a few other German bands that never managed to get off the ground such as Dies Irae that would have had more potential had they appeared earlier on in the German kosmische musik scene. Really only for hard core Krautrock connoiseurs or fanatical vinyl collectors who like dishing out the bucks for that long lost rock`n roll artifact.
