"My Solid Ground was a German progressive rock band that was founded in Rüsselsheim in 1968. Several lineup changes in its early years led to a change in the band's musical direction. In the summer of 1970, the band entered the studio for the first time and recorded the nearly 25-minute opus 'Flash.' The five musicians submitted this track to a band competition organized by Südwestfunk as part of the popular program Pop Shop. They came in second, attracting the interest of the record industry and landing a contract with the progressive Bacillus label of the Frankfurt-based Bellaphon record company. In spring 1971, they recorded the LP My Solid Ground in Dieter Dierks' studios in Cologne, which was released in October of that year. My Solid Ground toured, played at festivals, and made television appearances. In the summer of 1971, they were invited to record another studio album with their own songs at Südwestfunk in Baden-Baden. This album is available as bonus tracks on the re-release. In 1972, the band's lineup changed again, resulting in a complete reorientation of the personnel. Plans for a second My Solid Ground LP were made but never realized. The band broke up for good in 1974 after releasing only one album."
