Another one of these forgotten small gems hidden in the heart of Krautrock. This unit made a lone album then vanished into the wilderness of life and it is a real shame because this is a real good piece of music.

The first side is occupied by an almost 20 min suite called Daydream Believer. While some of the lyrics may be awkward , the music is simply not exploring many directions but keeping a very psychadelic feel throughout and keeps your brains alert by constant and unexpected changes.

Side 2 starts in a very sarcastic mood including their so called hit single No 127 and finishes with the aptly titled Madness but clearly the highlight is the middle track Spots On You where some of the chanting reminds one of the most radical Polit-rock (another one of the German specialty in rock music - Kluster and Amon Duul 1 not 2 ) of those years but making this a very typical German release . Much worth a spin on your deck and your brain attention.

Here is a real nugget from the golden underground German Krautrock era. Fans of AMON DUUL II will likely very much dig this recording with its big sound and heavy progressive tendencies. Musically this album is areal stonker with great bass and guitar lines, keyboard wizardry and a strange overall presence. Album ''Centerpiece'' is the epic 20 mins "Day Of A Daydreambeliever" which mixes VAN DER GRAAF darkness and borrows the musical wierdness from cousins AMON DUUL II. Lead vocalist Wolfgang Kause (Gurker The Goat) has a great voice and very much fits the music. This album also offers a great big and wide sound with fantastic production qualities and excellent speaker seperation. Overall a fantastic album and I would highly recommend to anyone who is into the Krautrock thing!

It's too bad that Cornucopia only did this one album. It's a very accomplished (and yet very chaotic) album. The first track, 'Day of a Daydream Believer', is a sprawling, side-long acid trip. Very much a psychedelic track with jazz elements thrown in here and there. As others have pointed out, ... (read more)

OK here we have a diamond from the golden era of kraut rock. Four songs in total as it was a common thing back on these days. The album begins with the superb day of a daydream believer, a 20minute epic with twisted melodies and chaotic turns. Very interesting indeed. The rest of the album has 3 son ... (read more)

An almost essential purchase, if you love your prog rock to be totally unexpected with mad twists and turns, this is the album for you. Everything that folk love about 70s Prog Rock is here. Some bits are quite dancable (in the hippy late 60s early 70s way though) Everything (possibly eve ... (read more)
