Wow here is a great find... The REAL AX BAND only released one album in their short lifetime but man what an album. "Move your ass" mixes and matches jazz, fusion, soul and progrock (Krautrock) in ways that few ever attempted. Most notably 2 members of REAL AX BAND were from one of my personal favourite Krautrock bands EMBRYO : Dieter Miekautsch and Maria Archer. The album is one wild concoction of genres with tons of great grooves and instrumentation to get into... I would say a cross of EMBRYO with ECHOLYN and toss in some groovy SLY and The FAMILY STONE and you have it. Considering the age I am blown away by the fantastically lovingly recorded sound quality on this album CD.

This band began as a duo of drums and bass impressing all who saw them play live. They would add a guitarist before the fortunate turn of events when Maria Archer and Dieter Miekautsch, freshly returned from a trip to Africa were looking for a band to play in. Some "cred" here with these two as Maria sang briefly in both EMBRYO and MISSUS BEASTLY. While Dieter was previously the keyboardist for both bands, and that during their classic periods. So as a five piece they go into the studio and record this album in Switzerland at Sunrise studios over seven days in late June of 1977.

All things considered I was so looking forward to hearing this once I got my hands on it. I knew it was obscure being issued only once on cd in 2001, but I had hoped it would be Jazz/Kraut in that MISSUS BEASTLY style. Nope! More like EMBRYO's World music style with a Jazz base. But the key is Maria's vocals. Great singer but I don't want to hear a soul singer from Africa on what I was hoping was a Krautrock record. It just doesn't sound right to my ears, and I couldn't get past it, hence the 3 star rating.

Some great pictures in the liner notes and info, but as far as the music goes there was really only one track I could connect with and that was "Mark Spitz". A name I remember well from the Olympics back in the day. It's the bass and flute that I really dig on that one. We get ten tracks worth 40 minutes by the way.
