kosmic corridors

   The band's name was actually COZMIC CORRIDORS. They had tracks on 

several of the "Unknown Deutschland" Krautrock compilations on Virgin, 

all taken from their self-titled album, which was issued on Psi-Fi in 1996.

This appears to consist of unreleased archive tapes from the mid-

seventies, and musically offers minimalist, stripped-down electronic 

Krautrock with some systemic and psychedelic elements. The album 

allegedly received a vinyl issue at the time of recording, in a run of 50 

copies, on the Pyramid label.

The label supposedly issued a number of other Krautrock obscurities, all 

in tiny runs, including GOLEM and TEMPLE (whose Pauline Fund was also a 

member of COZMIC CORRIDORS). The provenance of the Pyramid label 

seems suspect, however, since none of its releases has ever resurfaced on 

a collectors' list.

One school of thought said all the "Pyramid" recordings, reissued on 

Virgin and Psi-Fi, were an elaborate joke, put together in the mid-nineties 

to cash in on the then-Krautrock boom. However, since they were 

recorded by Toby Robinson (an active sound engineer in Germany in the 

seventies) and featured real Krautrock musicians like Zeus B Held and 

Hans-Jürgen Pütz, they probably were recorded in the seventies.

However, I suspect they were actually unissued at the time, with the 

Pyramid label being an invention to stir up interest in the "reissues".
