KRAUTROCK TOP#29 : COSMIC JOKERS, S/T (1973)


First album by the supergroup formed by members of ASH RA TEMPEL, WALLENSTEIN, and KLAUS SCHULZE, it's been produced by by famous producer Rolph Ulrich Keiser (what a name!) from several famous giga-sessions played when the band was in Switzerland, reputedly more or less the same as for WALTER WEGMULLER. Unlike the next albums released the same year (that are worth having for those who like the most freaky experimental / electronic side of Krautrock), it's a very cosmic affair, typically kraut in my opinion - I mean : if you ask "what's krautrock?", I would answer it's COSMIC JOKERS 1st. In its 2nd side, the music becomes deeper and more moving; but it's a really nice and trippy album as a whole.
If you've liked ASH RA TEMPEL 1st, no doubt this classic is for you, and it's here (at 192kbps)

Thank you very much. A piece of the great collection.

Let me know, if you search for something

Nothing more of Lindenberg, if you have some I'm (we are?) interested. According to some comments on this blog, the 2nd / 3 rd albums are interesting, so...
Thanks!

You should absolutely post Galactic Supermarket, if you have it. I can't find it anywhere!

Juste pour un trés grand remerciement, pour ces uploads, ces "notes techniques" sur chaque groupe, et ce travail de défrichage bien utile aux profanes comme moi ( plus pour longtemps après lecture - avide - de ces pages). Merci également pour tous ces sons complètement "space" dans lesquels je me baigne actuellement grace à ce blog.

Thanks for all the comments!
Ok, I'll post "Galactic Supermarket" later. The problem with this list is that I cannot put in it all the good albums each band made! Or it will be a "top 100", what it may become...
