   it's relatively unknown that there was some music in austria between mozart and falco

IXTHULUH was a krautrock-band from austria. Started as a jazzrock band
soon changed in an own direction, you can assign soonest to
psychedelic-rock.

work history:

Founded 1975 the band was named Ixthuluh since spring 1976. At the
beginning enhanced by bands like Can, Gato Barbieri or Gong they
started early looking for the own sound.

The band bought an old farmhouse in 1977 and changed from the band Ixthuluh to the Kollektiv Ixthuluh.

1979 Werner Ponesch splitted up with his meanwhile founded Ixthuluh
record shop, which came along well to a major independent label in
austria.

Totally five disks document the work history. The best album is the
1980 recorded "Tea At Two", which appears compact and shows best the
characteristic sound and the intensity.

The group disbanded at the end of 1981.

discography:

1976/77: Yes We Are A Jazzband

1978/79: No Money For A Radio

1980: Tea At Two

1981: What's The Name

1977-79: Outtakes

	And they're really good, too, in my opinion. Songs like "Rubber Rope To Repose After Storm", "It Cools So, Jessy" and "Dancing In The Rain" are really worth a listening. All albums can be downloaded at the site provided by golowin. I'm surprised no one else has even replied to this post. For those who like music that is strange, jazzy and a bit different, Ixthuluh could be a really pleasant new surprise. I'm mostly a symphonic prog listener, but I found myself hooked on them anyhow.
