*Ripper's note: I wanted to provide more scans of this
beautifully-packaged Krautrock classic but scans were almost
impossible.
First ever CD reissue of one of the most extreme Krautrock-era
albums ever made. Originally released by Philips Germany in
1970, the triple LP edition came in an elaborate 'mirror'
sleeve and has been near-impossible to find for 35-plus years;
there have been a handful of suggested reissues over the
years, but finally Captain Trip has brought it to fruition, in
collaboration with founding member Suzanne Doucet. Incredible
fold out packaging emulates the original, with front embossing
and silver-foil printing on the quadruple fold-out jacket.
Zweistein were a trio of Jacques Dorian, Suzanne Doucet and
Diane Doucet. This perfectly done reissue (including 2 bonus
tracks from their single at the end of disc 3) is heavily
anticipated.
"Musically, Trip, Flip Out, Meditation is largely a sound
collage containing massive amounts of studio effects wizardry.
Listeners are bombarded with an hour and forty-six minutes
(106 minutes) worth of effects-laden voices, natural sounds,
electronic effects, organ, guitar, drums and other
instruments. The side-long compositions are virtually strewn
together avant-garde improvisations in which anything goes. It
is this fact which acts as a catch 22 and splits the Krautrock
fan base into two factions. First there are those who hail the
album as a masterpiece due to its avant-garde nature, wild
approach, and inherent reference to a drug trip. Then there
are those who pass the album off as a complete timewaster due
to its evident amateur musicianship, lack of direction and
avant-garde nature." -- Doug Brotherton
