Probably one of the weirdest discoveries in the field of collectable
german albums in recent years, Staff Carpenborg's sole output
was first brought to the spotlight by the compilers of the celebrated
"Kraut! Demons! Kraut!" cd-series in the mid-90's.
Since then rumours and interest about the album have risen
exponentially since this is weird record (and we mean WEIRD)
is one of the earliest known examples of kraut-rock.
How such a demented collection of tunes found their way on
the budget Maritim label is up to everyone's guess, specially
if one takes into account the label typical output of schlager,
mariachi songs, children tales and similar all-ages budget
shmaltz.
This may be also the reason why "Fantastic Party" went under
the radar for so many diggers and record collectors as little
they expect such crazyness would hide in the grooves on this
otherwise crappy-looking album. No one knows who was behind
this weird studio project except a certain Paul Bucher credited
on the record as the composer of all tracks.
Anyway what this anonymous bunch of musicians left behind
was a puzzling set of psychedelic jams choked with an
overdose of effects which can be easily labelled as proto-kraut.
Like the bastard son of Can (or better, The Inner Space) scoring
a weird sexadelic euro flick, this is the missing link connecting
a whole string of renegade, leftfield german music, from The
Vampires of Dartmoore to Amon Duul, that is, from psych-explotation
experiments to bona fide kraut-rock. So open your ears to the
sounds of the strangest and most fantastic party you're ever to
attend with our reissue of this obscure artifact brought back to
life for your aural delight.
