I'm not sure about the cover but it looks like a guy in a dress with a sickle in his hands. Anyway it's the music that counts right ? This was released as a double album in 1970. The first album having more structured songs while the second one consisted of improvisations. Eroc from GROBSCHNITT remastered this recording. The second album is what blows me away and bumps this up to 5 stars.
"Soap Shop Rock" is almost 14 minutes long and is divided into four parts.There is a real 60's feel to the guitar sound on this track, even bringing Neil Young to mind.The vocals are dramatic at times. Some violin as male and female vocals join in.The male vocals get quite theatrical as violin comes back. The original melody returns to end the song. What a way to start the album ! "She Came Through the Chimney" is a laid back tune with percussion, guitar and violin.This is a 3 minute instrumental. "Archangels Thunderbird" has more 60's sounding guitar that supply some riffs. I really like the vocals in this one as well as the percussion and drums. Great tune ! "Cerberus" is a really cool song with tambourine, bongos and guitar leading the way.The sound gets heavier with some good bass. "The Return Of Ruebezahl" has an Eastern sound to it.This is the shortest song on the record." Eye-Shaking King" is a very psychedelic tune with crazy vocals. I love the guitar and bass in this one.The final song on the first album is called "Pale Gallery". It's a short,mind bending song that really prepares us for the improvs on the second album.

The first of the improvs is called "Yeti" and it's over 18 minutes long. There are outbursts of various sounds as some screaming guitar gains our attention, some good bass too. After 5 minutes it's like the sun comes out for a minute. They then jam for a long time, then some atmospheric guitar plays and the bass is upfront.This song blends into another improv called "Yeti Talks To Yogi". Now i'm thinking that this probably isn't Yogi Bear but with all the acid they did back then who really knows ? This is so trippy.The highlight of this one for me is the drumming that starts to build 2 minutes in. "Sandoz In the Rain" is the final improv and it's a more delicate song with flute, acoustic guitar, light drums and violin. The vocals repeat "The sun drops in her eye". I really like this one.There are two bonus songs on my version."Rattlesnakeplumcake" which has some incredible guitar melodies in it while "Between the Eyes" is a heavy tune with some crazy vocals.

If your into Krautrock this is a must ! Highly recommended. (Mellotron Storm/progarchives.com)
