Sphinx Tush is a live band in true sense of the word. This is probably the only track that was saved til’ this day. It’s recording of their improvising on some German festival. What we have here is destructive symphony of fast, head-banging heavy rock jam only 5 minute long – but that’s how rock ‘n’ roll music should be… short, raw and fast.
Dom – Dom / Devil’s Grandma (1972)
Improvised set from obscure German group with lots of wah-wah and fuzz.
Thirsty Moon – I’ll Be Back – Live ’75 (2006)
Fusion jams by German krautrock band Thirsty Moon recorded live, 29.05.1975, at “Lila Eule”, Bremen, Germany.
Kickbit Information – Bitkicks (1998)
“Pure krautrock gravy from the loins of some of its finest architects, the hairy jazz rock blowout herein being choice enough to even overlook the gristly and distorted warts-and-all recording quality of these never-intended-for-release rehearsal room recordings. Led by Ex-Guru Guru and future Spacebox bassist Uli Trepte, this briefly assembled outfit (which also featured Frumpy’s Carsten Bohn and Thirsty Moon’s Willi Pape) churn out three slabs of classic kraut fusion here in the rawboned and hectic style that Trepte would soon carry forward with Spacebox.”
Birth Control – Live (1974)
“Birth Control’s straightforward progressive rock sound is perfectly demonstrated on Birth Control Live, recorded in June 1974… The best example of their early-’70s sound can be found on the 15 minutes of “Back from Hell” and on the even longer “Gamma Ray” combining an entertaining mix of improvised guitar and keyboard interplay that wonderfully stretches itself out.”
Tetragon – Stretch (2009)
Unbelievably good spontaneous duel jams between Hammond organ and wah-wah guitar.
Space Debris – Elephant Moon (2008)
“Space Debris are a German band whose music will transport you back 30 years to the pioneering days of Krautrock and Progressive influenced Psychedelia. Lots of lengthy stretch out guitar jams and an old time organ sound that will make you swoon. Influences range from Amon Düül and Can on the one hand to a psychedelicious take on the Santana, Allman Brothers, and early Deep Purple stylings. If you like early 70’s styled jamming hard prog-psych you’ll love this.”
Kraftwerk – K4 (Bremen Radio 1971) (2006)
A live rarity from the early days of Kraftwerk with Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger so basically we get mix of Kraftwerk and Neu! Whole album consisting of long distorted heavy krautrock jams with doom mood ala Black Sabbath.
Friedhof – Friedhof (1971)
Ultra rare 1971 German underground heavy psych guitar jam in the JPT Scare Band vein. Wild basement wah fuzz guitar blasters.
Cannabis India – SWF Session 1973 (2009)
“Pure instrumental organ rock that many ELP fans quietly wished their favorite band would indulge more in. No deep lyrics, gonzo improvisations or lovelorn ballads here, just three hungry players with a taste for this new sound in popular music.”
