Karthago - Karthago (1971)

German band Karthago's first album is some tasty heavy rock, played in a style not common among German groups. Some tracks bring to mind Jimi Hendrix or maybe the progressive funk of Funkadelic, and other tracks are played in a Latin style, reminding you of early Santana! Excellent heavy guitar playing, a pumped-up vocalist and good songs make this under-rated album well worth a listen!

Amon Düül - Disaster / Lüüd Noma! (1971)

This consists of some of the tapes made during a mammoth recording session in the late 60's. Two earlier albums were released from the same session, "Psychedelic Underground" and "Collapsing - Singvogel Ruckwarts". Released only after Amon Düül II started to get some attention, the members of which weren't thrilled about this getting put out. What is it, though? Experimental? Avante Garde? It surely is chaotic. Maybe it's just a bunch of hippies farting around! You be the judge.

Kraan - Andy Nogger (1975)

Kraan's third album was produced by Conny Plank, and was the first to be released outside of Germany. This group was a collection of excellent musicians, and the style of music was their own, a successful fusion of free jazz, pop, funk, and of course prog. Primarily instrumental and highly energetic. The rhythm section is almost unbelievably good, I mean they really set down some great grooves. The saxophone playing is brilliant and the guitarist is superb. Great stuff all around, highly recommended!
