GOD 001DVD
German TV recordings from 1970, taken from the station's masters. Xhol Caravan were from Wiesbaden. "In the beginning of 1969 they emerged from Soul Caravan, their predecessors. Xhol Caravan's music was a peculiar mix of jazz and psychedelia. In 1970 they shortened their name to Xhol as to not be confused with Caravan from England. In recording their pieces for SWF (a public radio and TV station from Baden-Baden) in 1970, they were filmed playing four long songs. The colour TV had been introduced in Germany only three years before, in 1967. Thus, light effects were used in abundance, especially psychedelic effects. The atmosphere Xhol Caravan created with their music, psychedelic and fraught with drugs, there effects were just right." Colour, 4:3, all regions, PAL and NTSC (double-sided), approx 50 minutes. Comes in deluxe digipak and with 32-page booklet.

GOD 045CD
"Psychedelic music from Wisbaden, with some jazz elements. Recorded in 1969. After the Germanofon bootleg, here is the legal re-release with a 32 page color booklet and their two 7" tracks as a bonus." First legit CD reissue of the legendary first Xhol album, first issued on Hansa in 1969. This was their first of 3 albums,
Hau-Ruk
and
Motherfuckers GmbH & Co.
would follow on the OHR label in '71/'72, concluding one of the strangest chapters in the Krautrock scene of this period.
Electrip
has freak-out characteristics, some Canterbury-esque vibes and stoned-progressive moves throughout long instrumental passages. The first mysterious record by this band who would always leave a trail of confusion. From
Crack In The Cosmic Egg
: "
Electrip
was one hell of a remarkable album, especially for the 60s, an electric sax and organ fronted fusion with a great deal of invention and energy, hinting at later records by Nosferatu, Faust, et al. Remarkable throughout!"
