Muck Groh was the guitarist for IHRE KINDER one of the early Krautrock bands, releasing their debut in 1969. He would go on to form AERA in the seventies, before recording this lone solo album in 1979. And the third band worth mentioning is GROTESK who released their debut in 1980 the year after "Mucke[%*!#]". And that band like this solo album features plenty of AERA members. Muck has always been involved with bands singing in German and that continues here with his solo record. Eva Gruber sings on a couple of tracks and to be honest I'm not fan. And the male vocals on the opener also disappoint, in fact three of the first four songs do little for me.

I love that Alto Pappert is playing sax on here. He was on KRAAN's first four studio albums and is a legend. He brings a jazzy vibe for sure, plus there's another sax player on here, Klaus Kreuzeder from AERA and GOTESK. I'm glad this is mostly instrumental but it doesn't all work. That eighth track with the very long title is the one song I like from start to finish. And I appreciate the violin on that one. Some guest bongos too. I'm surprised to see Groh playing harmonium on "Liebeslied" and organ on "Psychochinese Im Stanzwerk".

Most seem to like this record more than I do. As far as Groh related albums go, I'll stick with AERA's "Hand Und Fuss" and GROTESK's "2" record. I can't go higher than 3 stars here.
