This is the sort of thing that Garden of Delights do so delightfully well; this is a previously unreleased album by a basically unknown outfit from 1975 who were a local, underground / experimental German outfit. But not only do you get the album, which was never released anyway, you get 20' of bonus live tracks. Yow.

"There is only one single laquer that exists of this (studio

"Owing to different musical tastes of the band, ther is a large range of diverse styles that the band has to cope with. By making productive use of these different styles rather than fending them off, a synthesis is created which is interesting and...

So here is the picture disc edition, without bonus tracks, but with an LP-sized insert of eight pages. The cover artwork designed by H.R. Giger was taken over unchanged. The picture disc is limited to 1000 numbered copies.
Reissue from the master tapes of the only album by this heavy Swiss late 1960's heavy underground cult band, which was originally released in 1969.
A very heavy, world-class psychedelic album. This is one of the rarest albums in the world and includes the H.R. Giger original...

"Skyline from the Bielefeld area emerged out of the well-known band Virus; they had, however, hardly anything in common with their predecessor’s music. What they now played was jazz-rock with slight funky influences and English lyrics; altogether much smoother than the music by Virus. Their only LP, “Louise for one night”, was recorded in fall of 1975 and released as a private pressing in an edition of 500 copies in 1976.
Skyline took part in the Vlotho “Umsonst und draußen” (“Free and open air”)...

Sündenfall II from the Kevelaer area at the Lower Rhine played a mixture of folk and jazz, influenced by Jethro Tull. While their predecessors, Sündenfall, exclusively dedicated themselves to jazz, the group included folk after a change in line-up...

"There are loads of jazz-rock LPs from around 1980. So one could ask oneself why any more of them should be released on CD at all. "Übermorgen" ("The day after tomorrow") by Surgery, however, certainly belongs to the better ones of this genre: sparkling piano runs, contemplative sax parts, a masterly played electric guitar, many good ideas, and a clear and good recording make the album an auditory pleasure. To those detered from German lyrics: Don't worry, the Marl group did without any vocals. At that...

"Tetragon, successor of Trikolon, were founded in Osnabrück (Lower Saxony) in the spring of 1971. They released their first and only LP, “Nature”, in that very year. It came out as CD on Musea in 1995. At the end of 1971, Tetragon recorded in a Hamburg studio five long tracks in their well-proven style for their second LP, the release of which, however, failed. Fortunately, the master tape has survived until the present day, so that now, 38 years past schedule, the work is released on CD. Three of the

Thors Hammer came from Copenhagen, the Danish capital. Their music was a jazzy progressive rock with English lyrics. Their one and only LP was released in 1971 and holds the sad record of being the most bootlegged LP in Denmark. Until now it can be found as CD editions on three illegal labels (Walhalla, Crystal Emporium Productions, and Won-Sin), and as an illegal LP reprint. All these editions were made up very poorly. This is the first legal lp reprint."

“Tin Pan Alley were founded in Baden-Württemberg in 1978. They played progressive rock in the style of the early 1970s. The band’s mastermind was their singer and bassist, Ernst Sinn.
In 1981, they went to the Ege-Sound-Studio in Bad Schussenried, which was also used for recordings by acts like Anyone’s Daughter, Kraan, McOil, and Eric Burdon. That’s where Tin Pan Alley recorded four tracks (45’) as a demo tape they subsequently sent to about 15 to 20 labels. The attempts, however, were not...

This obscure group made an excellent album in the garage-underground-progressive" genre way back in 1971. Vinegar could be ranked along with Mammut as one of the most important examples of such bands. For your amusement, here's a closer look at their f...

Xhol were one of the earliest Krautrockers, releasing their 1st (this) in 1969, which is issued on CD for the 1st time here. A must own for fans of Krautrock, these guys were unknown & undiscovered until the recent Krautrock revival & are still underap...
