Where do you get all those pics from? Anyway, so I decided to do a little montage of some old school albums that have been in heavy rotation at the Guldbamsen den:               Edited by Guldbamsen - December 03 2014 at 05:22 |

Yeah...I've wondered about that too. I think the credits may have something to do with the effects that were conjured up in the studio. Oxymoron fx has this jello-like section, where it sounds like some sort of filter is dropped on the drums, in particular. As far as any real keys? Go fish.

What's the idea of Conny Plank playing keyboards on Kan Guru ?? I don't hear a note of keyboard. They might have fallen off my copy......even some reviewers comment on Conny's kerboards there
 Man, Hawknose Harlequin is whacked-out (in a good way, mind) - more trippy Farfisa from Karl-Heinz Hausmann !! Edited by Tom Ozric - December 03 2014 at 04:31 |

Yeah I'm fairly chuffed that they decided to leave out the keyboard in Guru Guru. Talk about mental overload
What with Ax' guitar and those flick flacking drums??? It'd be foolish and dangerous to push one's mind that far.

That bloody keyboard produces magical sounds - I want one.....
Irmin Schmidt too, Ralf Hutter, Edgar, Klaus and the dude in Fantasy and also Stopka from Dom. All Farfisa. Anyway, I think Karrer is a damn fine musician - guitar, violin and sax. He plays them all quite well too. They may be a bit harsh-sounding, but they are very accomplished musicians. If it ain't a bit rough, it ain't Krautrock. Guru Guru didn't have much keyboards, but they had Mani. |

You and me and that Farfisa, Tom
God I love that thing....and I'd wish it was put to more use in modern productions too. Someone call up Froese or Steve Wilson! |

VLT is full of great stuff. No complaints there.
Even Made In Germany (I have the single US record) has some killer stuff on it. Would love to hear the full version someday. Falk uses a Farfisa too

Carnival in Babylon is the album of theirs that I got the latest. It's still fresh to my ears. Then again, we don't share the same history like I do with Wolf City, Yeti and Lemminge.
Another one of my faves is the often overlooked Vive La Trance, which I think of as a sister album to Wolf City. I often spin them one after the other - sorta like a makeshift double-album |

^ excellent words there. Leopold is (was
 ) a great drummer. Meid on the bass too - great, unassuming - very clever and tricky. Always on something, too. Love 'em too much. I must be re-discovering the Duul....Carnival In Babylon now.... |

Oh yes...the coolaide had definitely been spiked with other things than mere sugar
Two of the ADll guys that don't get a lot of mentions are Lothar Meid and Peter Leopold, and I happen to think both of them really added something wildly unique and creative to their respective instruments. I've said it a couple of hundred times before but here goes again: a guy like Peter Leopold is practically IMPOSSIBLE to recreate behind the drum kit. Give me Peart, Harrison or Palmer - sure they all do tricky stuff, but with Leopold it feels so...errm wrong and counter-intuitive but somehow brilliant. Meid is criminally under appreciated as a bassman too. |

^ Cool David - will check the clip out - currently on Green Bubble Raincoat Man. Yeah - Renate the Witchy Woman
. Love the highly creative Meid/Fichelscher rhythm section here, Rogner's spacey keyboards, Karrer und Weinzierl - man this mob is just FANTASTIC. Jail-House Frog.....!! There must've been supersonic acid in their water supply...... |

Give it a spin then Love love love Wolf City. I have a remastered cd with a couple of delicious previously unreleased bonus tracks on. Absolutely fantastic. If you haven't heard it then I wholeheartedly recommend this little beauty:Kindermörderlied (Childkillingsong?!?!????  )Renate is really great on those early albums too, I perfectly agree with you. There's a witch thing about her that would've gone well with something like The Blairwitch Project Edited by Guldbamsen - December 03 2014 at 03:27 |

Ohh you've got yet another shipment coming? You lucky man
  A bit curious to see what you end up with - both Pierre and I have sprinkled a fair bit of recs here and there (to say the least  ). I totally get what you're saying regarding Traumspiel, which is something I tried relegating in my review of it as well. Btw another thing that I mentioned is how much it feels like Clivage's Mixtus Orbis - a record notorious for not sounding like anything else....have you heard it?

Well, I was spinning Youtube clips of it in the meantime, during those weeks when it was AWOL!  I've now ripped the CD for the car, so I'm starting to give it the proper spins it needs. It is absolutely fascinating, really daring stuff that sounds like nothing else. I love how the female vocals are siren-like and dreamy one second, intense the next! The music has some blissful moments, then nightmarish and schizophrenic the next like I'm waiting in purgatory where both my sins and good deeds are being weighed up. Dirty groovy f**k-off bass sound too.I'm sure I'll cobble together a rambling review at some point in the near future! I've got a few other of your and Pierre's suggestions about to arrive in an order in the next week, I'll post them in here when they land...unless they fall victim to another `incident'
