FOR ALL THE CLOWNS

Sometimes it takes you to see a band in a concert and read in a local press before you get to know them, especially when the band is unknown in the international space. I managed to miss Sahara this way. While not a gem, it rightfully deserves attention for the two high quality albums - Sunris and For all the clowns. The music on that album is well crafted and played rather than virtuoso and you can see British such as Jethro Tull, American as well as local German influences such as Krautrock. Melodies are strong, the vocals OK and my most favourite instrument are keyboards. The band is still alive and does perform from time to time, recommended to acquire their music and/or attend a concert in Germany!
