Release Notes:
This is a very long standing psych-folk rock band from
Germany dating back to 1986. This is their very first live
release and features a wide range of styles from a lot of
the records but the majority of the songs come from the
'Wild Spellsö Cd from 1986 rereleased in 2001. The Cd opens
with 'We Grow' from the 1993 'Orange` Lp. A powerful opener,
reminds me a bit of Spiritualized. The faster paced songs
like 'Resurgent Mind' fit very much into the UK psych pop
sound. Good stuff. A few older songs from 1987 'Funny
Nightmares'and 'Lazing At Desert Inn'are also included.
'Temple Balls' is a great 11 minute spaced out song showing
the band experimenting a bit and going out into space. The
Cd ends with a few rare and unreleased tracks like
'Papergod', which is loosely based on a Bo Diddley riff.
'Tripping Mind' is a more 60's inspired rocker. The Cd ends
with 'Half Blues Half Artefact from the 1990 'Colliding' Lp.
Overall, an excellent collection of the bands material and a
good place to start if you have not heard of any of their
previous music.
Recorded live at the Z-Bau, Nuernberg, 20th July 2002.
