Muck Groh biography
Werner GROH was born in 1946 and started his musical life by first learning the trombone before he became more known as a guitarist, first band he was featured in being the the krautrock band IHRE KINDER. Later on he founded AERA which mixed jazz and progressive rock and which he left in the 70's to pursue more solo projects, like his album Muckef**k and another jazz rock group GROTESK. Besides a rich music career, GROH spent much of his time as a freelance painter until 2006 where he initiated a revival of AERA called NEUE AERA with which he tours regularly. GROH's musical endeavors can therefore be checked in bands mentioned above while his only solo album in 1979 is a fine record with folk overtones that might also please fans of Frank ZAPPA's jazz rock oriented albums.

Review by Mellotron Storm

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.

Thanks to evolver for the artist addition.
