Krishna Das - Kirtan Wallah - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ash Ra Tempel was the cult band of guitarist and experimental musician Manuel Goettsching. They are considered one of the pioneering bands of the German Cosmic Rock, avantgarde, electronic music scenes. Their self titled debut is considered one of the founding documents of InchKrautrock.Inch Featuring two 20 minute long, guitar heavy jams. This one is still influencing bands like Acid Mothers Temple etc

The symphonic poems Smetana wrote during his stay in Sweden were composed during a pivotal time in his life. Financial prospects at first seemed better in Gothenberg than in his native country, while the dual influences of Berlioz and Liszt were informing the direction of his music. Richard III is not a programmatic drama, but focuses instead on the haunting scene before the Battle of Bosworth in Shakespeare's play. Wallenstein's Camp is symphonically structured, while Hakon Jarl dramatizes the life of the tyrannical Viking warrior with memorable flair. The Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra was established in 1949 by the esteemed conductors Vaclav Talich and L'udovit Rajter. Since then, the orchestra has performed under the batons of some of the world's greatest conductors. The Slovak Philharmonic has made numerous recordings and has toured extensively throughout the world.

Originally released in 1973, this self-titled album marks the fourth output of the legendary German Prog/Psych/Experimental German Krautrock band, around drummer and mastermind Mani Neumeier. With keyboarder Conrad Plank missing, Guru Guru was recorded in a classic power trio line-up, with Bruno Schaab replacing Uli Trepte on bass. This album is a true Krautrock piece, inspired by popular rock'n'roll bands of the 60's & early 70's, standing out from the common ground, due to the band's quirky progressions and humorous lyrics, featuring the over 13 minutes long 'Medley,' a shoutout to Eddie Cochran. The song 'Der Elektrolurch' marks the birth of the imaginary electric amphibian creature that would become the band's trademark, and it is featured on this album for the very first time. The song, acted out on stage during live performances by Mani Neumeier wearing a costume he designed, is an eagerly awaited highlight of every Guru Guru live show to these days.
