STERN-COMBO MEISSEN

This was the MEISSEN's first album and was actually a live recording capturing IMHO them at their height of their career. This is classic German space prog with some grand interludes and otherworldly atmospheres. I love this album with their featured 2 analog keyboardists (Lothar Kramar and Thomas Kurzhals) who play a great array of 70's vintage keys. These guys play with a high degree of intuition and almost sound at times as if they are talking to each other. The other instrumentalists are equally solid (guitar, bass and percussion/drums) and an exceptional lead singer who sings in native German with great conviction. I would definitely put these guys in the "GROBSCHNITT" / "Ego On The Rocks" camp of progressive rock. A top notch album that I would highly recommend to all lovers of German Space progressive rock.
