Dull Knife were a German band who attempted to combine Deep Purple-influenced hard rock with some soul in the vein of Joe Cocker. To be honest, I think their first and only album "Electric Indian" is mostly forgettable. There's nothing wrong with the technical abilities of the group. They played heavy and powerful, with lots of good guitar, organ and drumming. The problem is mainly the mediocre material that fails to impress me very much. The opener "Plastic People" (absolutely nothing to do with Birth Control's excellent song and album of the same name) has lots of heavy riffs, sudden breaks and lengthy solos, but it never evolves into anything that really grabs me. The same can be said about "Tumberlin' Down" and "Walk Along the Muddy Road". The riffs and melodies are simply too average and unoriginal. But far worse are the more soul-inflected songs, such as "Go Down to the River", "Lonely is the Mankind (Without Love)" and "Song of a Slave". All of these ones are boring beyond belief. The closer "Day of Wrath" is the only song on the LP that really tries to fuse the two different styles, but the tedious songwriting again spoils something that could have been a bit original and unusual after all. There is also some distorted effect on the vocals that becomes a bit annoying after a while, especially as it goes on for most of the album.
Getting scare German hardrock blaster with the same vibes as Hairy Chapter . Completely great sounding. Reissue on CD by the heavy German psychedelic rock band Electric Indian originally released in 1971. Engineered by Dieter Dierks it is an essential item of the German underground hard rock scene with heavy riffs and treated vocals on tracks like "Plastic People" and "Song of a Slave".

Dies Irae were a heavy progressive group who recorded their sole album 'First' for Pilz before the label fell into the hands of Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser. Dominated by blues, 'First' is a heavy progressive effort owing much to the heavy blues sound and occult nature of Black Sabbath's debut album. Song titles such as 'Lucifer', 'Harmagedon Dragonlove', and 'Witches Meeting' display the groups interest in the dark side. The standout track for krautrock fans is sure to be the seven-minute freak out 'Trip'. A spacey track, 'Trip' begins with an outstanding electronic collage which gives way to a peaceful free flowing jam containing acid-drenched celestial vocals.
Fans of the heavy progressive sound will find 'Lucifer' and 'Witches Meeting' to be the best cuts. 'Lucifer' contains an ultra aggressive guitar and harmonica riff slightly reminiscent of 'The Wizard' from 'Black Sabbath'. 'Witches Meeting', an extended track encompassing numerous musical sections, contains a rocking guitar solo and a furious ending. As a whole, the album is sure to please most fans with its heavy nature.

Electric Sandwich were formed in late 1969 by a group of German students from Bonn. The band initially consisted of four musicians, all of whom had already played with other bands: bass player Klaus Lormann had been playing with "Chaotic Trust"; lead guitarist Jorg Ohlert used to be with "Slaves of Fire"; drummer Wolf Fabian, the founder of the band, had been touring with a band called "Muli and the Misfits", and singer Jochen "Archie" Carthaus sang with the "Flashbacks".Their own material has been recorded into the legendary Dieter Dirks Studio in Stommeln (1973 Brain catalogue). The music contains typical spaced out, freak n roll improvisations with many jazzy rock ingredients, folkish accents and Mellotron excursions.What's so fascinating about "Electric Sandwich" is the fact that each of the seven songs is different from the rest even though the band developed a homogeneous sound concept. Asked about the diversity of styles his band toyed around with, songwriter Ohlert replied: "Electric Sandwich are not limited to one single style of music. We change styles, even in the middle of a song, because we want our music to be alive." To achieve this goal the band not only rehearsed every week but also reserved one evening of the week to discuss their respective creative visions. The lyrics deal with stories that complete a full circle from birth to death. In "Nervous Creek", for example, Electric Sandwich tell the story of a river eventually flowing into the sea. "Material Darkness" deals with the life of a city dweller. In the release information, Wolf Fabian comments: "We deliberately like to create an intellectual attitude. We try to design our lyrics in a way that allows a listener with poor knowledge of English to understand them.

Legendary progrock- masterpiece, sometimes aggressive, sometimes melancholic. Superb guitars, distorted voices and great organ works recall PINK FLOYD or GROUP 1850. This longplay CD also contains many bonus tracks, among them a former 25-minutes-version of "flash".
. First legit reissue of this 1971 Krautrock album, recorded in Köln and issued on Bacillus at the time. Includes 6 bonus rehearsal tracks from 1970 plus an unreleased 25 minute version of "Flash". A couple of tracks like the massive 13-minute opening "Dirty Yellow Mist" and "The Executioner" reveal the secrets of early 70s psych/rock as well as anything to be named, w/ monotonous, spacy riffing grinding into the third mind zone. "My Solid Ground's first and only record presented the full atmosphere of psychedelia -- sometimes aggressive, sometimes melancholy. Superb guitars, hypnotical voices and classical keyboards recall Pink Floyd or Group 1850 at it's best.",
