Artist:	MYTHOS
Title:	Quasar
Label:	SIREENA RECORDS (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	SIREENA 2094CD

"Krautrock classic on CD for the very first time. Quasar was recorded in 1980, a completely harmonious blend of groove, analog synthie work and krautrock. Similar to the former combatants Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, Kaske had found his way. A successful way until today. Quasar appeared on the legendary Hamburg label Sky Records by Gunter Korber, that fit! On this first release on CD, a bonus track is included, containing excerpts from the soundtracks of Stephan Kaske and was edited into a collage. A listening pleasure!"

Title:	Strange Guys
Label:	SPALAX (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SPA 14570

Third album from 1978, more overtly hard rock than their classic self-titled album from '72 or Dreamlab from '75. "Mythos were one of the finest of Berlin bands, yet were unfairly overlooked by most of the media. Maybe this was because of the group's leader Stephan Kaske's most unusual strongly accented vocals, who like Jürgen Dollase of Wallenstein, often came across as a strange Kraut Peter Hammill! Aside from his odd vocals, Stephan was also a highly talented multi-instrumentalist, and a visionary....this era saw a move to a more direct, harder edged rockform, though still uniquely Mythos, with the heavy guitars acting as a foil to Stephan's myriads of synthesizers."

Title:	Mythos
Label:	WAH WAH RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	LP
Price:	$26.00
Catalog #:	LPS 051LP

"Another classic from the Ohr catalog! Formed by young multi-instrumentalist Stephan Kaske in 1969, Mythos were Berlin's finest space rockers, able to swim and dive between raging space-treks a la Hawkwind and blissed-out cosmic drifts in the style of their stable-mates Ash Ra Temple or Tangerine Dream. Their legendary debut album showed them in top-form, specially in the long suite 'Encyclopaedia Terrae' were they showcase their playing abilities and unique style via the extended instrumental passages. Somewhere else in the album, Kaske surprises us with his flute playing or his characteristic vocals (a bit in the style of VdGG's Peter Hammill). A classic album which deserves to be heard by a wider public! Strictly limited to 500 copies -- gatefold cover -- sealed copies w/info sticker."
