Format:
3CD
Price:
$46.00

CT 164/6CD
Triple live CD from Guru Guru. The first two discs feature live performances in German, 1998. The 2nd disc includes a supergroup formation that features the addition of Damo Suzuji, Michael Karoli, Ax Genrich, Ingo Bischof, etc. The third disc in this set is a "special gift" of a live performance from Frankfurt 1971 by the Neumeier/Trepte/Genrich trio. The tracks are: "Der LSF Marsch", "Girl Call" & "Space Ship". It's pretty heavy duty stuff and a nice tip of the hat to congratulate you on wading all the way through discs 1 & 2.

"A brief version of the Guru Guru story is told in the rare OHR label LP sampler
Ohrenschmaus
:
'Formed in the summer 1968, when, as acoustic musicians Mani Neumeier and Uli Trepte (up to then Free Jazz) said, 'everyone bought a strong amplifier.'
The album text goes on to note that:
'There are many groups who practice with acoustic or electronic instruments a spontaneously changing music, which is characterized as improvisation. Actual improvisation, however -- like for example with the Guru Guru -- is not straight ahead. They orient themselves at agreed upon structures.'
Given freedom by the freest label of the day, free jazz drummer Mani Neumeier and bassist Uli Trepte and guitarist extraordinaire Ax Genrich let the acid and the musical innovation flow. Guru Guru were genius, and
UFO
(released in 1970) was their first testament. Like any truly groundbreaking and important album,
UFO
makes one ask oneself bizarre questions such as, 'could the members of Joy Division have heard this album?' or induces one to make emphatic statements like 'so this is where Throbbing Gristle got the idea.' This is an album which is über-psychedelic, proto-industrial, free in every sense. Or as one writer said,
'A high water mark for acid psychedelia that possibly cannot be beat.'
Our Lion Productions edition comes with a 20-page booklet which contains band info, a history of Rolf Ulrich Kaiser and OHR Records, and an OHR label discography."

SPA 14296
The first 2 Guru Guru releases, both from 1971. Musically, these 2 represent (along with their 3rd,
Kanguru
) the reigning moments of this acid-destroyed-jamming Krautrock outfit, and are essential artifacts of pure thunder.
