Title: Beziehungen
Label: SPALAX (FRANCE)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: SPA 14811
Annexus Quam were one of the real screwy avant-what-the-fuck bands lost in the haze of the early days of the OHR label. They released two albums from '71/72, this being the second (following Osmose). In a curious fashion they mixed elements of floating space rock (guitars, zither, flute, etc.) with avant-jazz sax input. More odd than purely great, but an interesting sidebar to the OHR label.

Title: Beziehungen
Label: WAH WAH RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format: LP
Price: $26.00
Catalog #: LPS 055LP
"After the release of their debut album Osmose and much playing in jazz festivals, Annexus Quam fronted some personnel changes and settled down to a quintet. The band was now Hans Kämper (trombone, Spanish guitar, flute), Harald Klemm (zither, tabla, bendira, guitar), Peter Werner (guitar, percussion), Ove Volquartz (tenor/soprano saxes, flute) plus newcomer Martin Habenicht (basses). This reduced formation went to record Beziehungen, a much more jazzy effort which headed straight into free jazz territory but retaining the typical inventive touch of the band. Much more space was given to free improvisation, with tracks like the two-part 'Leyenburg' coming out as free-form music whereas the 16-minute long track 'Dreh Ducht Nicht Um' bridged the gap between their two albums by combining the progressive fusion sonorities of Osmose with some brilliant free jamming. A classic album that is recommended to the lovers of the experimental leg of Krautrock and progressive musics as well as fans of all things free. Strictly limited to 500 copies -- single cover -- sealed copies w/ info sticker. Includes the bonus 1970 track 'Kollodium!'"
