DIE GROBSCHNITT STORY 1

Collectors of this fine German progressive band will need to invest to have this 2 CD package which is not a "All My Best Of" so don't panic. This 2 CD package is really a documentary on GROBSCHNITT and is a collaboration of unreleased GROBSCHNITT songs and version many of which are live. Highlight for me is the completely different verion of "Solar Music" (37 mins long!!) which is quite awesome and does not compromise their live masterpiece. Also an incredible version of "Space Rider" Live in which Eroc and Lupo's brilliance are displayed. "Die Grobschnitt Story" is well packaged with a nifty little book full of pictures for you to share with your friends and family. Songs are well recorded and although the tracks are all over the map it plays well from start to finish. If you understand German you will get more out of the interview sessions (a few short ones scattered throughout) but for the most part this is GROBSCHNITT in the raw. After listening to these live cuts one can not be anything but amazed at GROBSCHNITT's pure energy and incredible musicansdhip on stage. Highly recommended to all GROBSCHNITT fans and not a bad place to start for those who are not familiar with them.
