Muck Groh (real name Werner Groh) used to be the guitarist in the German Jazz / Fusion outfit Aera (featured in ProgArchives), having previously formed the band 'Ihre Kinder . Having left Area, Groh embarked on a solo career, and in 1979 released a tremendous album - Muckef**k

01. Zappenduster
02. Traumtänzer
03. Elfenkönigin auf Staatsbesuch im Urwald (sehr elegant Herr Elefant)
04. Penisnight
05. Blinde Kuh
06. Mondstrahl
07. Psychochinese im Stanzwerk
08. Liebeslied
09. All-Raunen

This album has some very complex guitar playing, and is a relatively little known gem that I'd encourage all to listen to. Shades of Comus in parts, and overall a very assured album, that certainly deserves the wider recognition that inclusion in the Archives would give it. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover this...went into it with little expectation, then after one or two listens thought 'damn....this is good!'. Give yourself a treat!

the Progfolk team would need samples from the 1979 album to consider him as a separate entry, but I may have access to some and will post a link in the Folkie's thread ..BTW, the Neu Aera aint bad either; http://www.myspace.com/dieneueaera - MySpace.com - NEUE AERA - DE - Jazz / Rock - www.myspace.com/dieneueaera
