I've been struggling to find some live Embryo on YouTube for a long time now with little or no avail. Surprise surprise look what I found today:
Live from a jazz festival in Calcutta 1979.

David, that was great! So glad you found that and posted it. Way to turn that Embry-no into an Embry-yes!

An under rated album and an Ozric influence I would think.

You might consider seeing if you can make a connection between this and the later stuff on AD2.
My "explanation" is simple ... in the early stuff you had the commune and everyone was a part of the fun and the party ... and by the time a handful of folks decided that they wanted the music to be more than just a drum circle ... you ended up with AD2. And of course, the first piece is a satire on the whole party ... that ended up with everyone stoned, drunk and having sex for sure! Or was it the excuse to be able to have sex? But the title suggests that you don't say no ... because if the God is ... then there will be sex! I think the whole thing is hilarious and still laugh at it, and the title cut of their first album ends in a rock'n'roll party, instead of just a communal drum circle!

Probably not exactly Krautrock, but I'd be interested to know any opinion on this jazzy one, I picked up the CD today second hand for a few dollars:
Morpheus - Rabenteuer (1976) http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=6472 Thoughts anyone? |

Nice stuff, Néo. The "Not exactly" Cds will always be my favorite.

Thank you, Pierre! Extra points for your sly `Matrix' reference!
There was a sticker on the front written by the shop that said `70's instrumental prog jazz', so I figured I'd take a chance on it! I did recognize the cover straight away, so I hoped it was good. Apparently this version has a 20 minute bonus track too. |

At one point it was my go-to YouTube album If you've ever heard the equally German fusion act Aera, then you're not that far off in regards to flow and sound. I do consider this one a tad more psychy, but maybe that's down to the recording itself. I read somewhere that the tapes were run at the wrong speed when it was recorded, and only in recent years with a complete remastering job has this 'bug' been made up for. In any case, I really dug what I heard on YouTube, and I gather that was from the original album.

Is that you Patrick Duffy? I really dig that avatar - as well as the terrifyingly bad humour on display

Pierre, Dave - I got to give the first few tracks from that Morpheus album a quick spin on the way home, it's wonderful!
I love the second track: Like a few of the reviews on here pointed out, very much in the style of Kraan. I love how the above track jumps back and forth between mysterious, playful and dangerous all in barely five minutes! The perfect soundtrack to a nice breezy warm night like tonight. |

Tom, could it be that....it just cruises along, all perfectly pleasantly, without making a really massive impression? It's a very cool album to unwind to, or have playing in the background, and maybe that's all it can ever be! Damn nice all the same though! |

One of the most prolific raters of obscure and mad music on RYM named Tovan ranks this one among the very few 5 star albums in his position. So many people, so many ears, so many opinions - and thank ford for that!

^I've been searching for that one for ages, Pierre!!
I really like the cover, and the two doll's feet make me think of Tangerine Dream's debut Electronic Meditation.

Yes, the cover is stunning, but the music is rather difficult^

This album was released in 2004 but it was actually made in 1974 and is not crossover but Krautrock
