Hoelderlin "Deathwatchbeetle" from Hoelderlin
File Under: Epic Trip
I went to visit a new friend this weekend, a friend who is also a vinyl vendor with an amazing collection. I spent a few hours listening to his records (loads of krautrock) and drinking beer and talking music and politics. I asked if he had any Hoelderlin and I saw a gleem come into his eyes and a big grin spread across his face and I knew I'd asked the right question. When I mentioned New Faces (The Shouter was on that one) he informed me that that one was one of their lesser records and one of their last because it was such a poor performance after their great beginnings. Three lps later I knew just what he was talking about. This is the closing track on their second lp. If you're familiar with Lamb Lies Down era Genesis, that would be the closest comparison I can offer to this masterpiece. Conny Planck is adding some voice and synthesizer help on this one. Vocals and keyboard wizardry by Joachim Grumbkow. Deathwatchbeetle

I would think you would begin by assembling the best players you can find and rehearse till your fingers bleed. Tracks like this remind me of films that totally shake you up with all the plot twists and amazing performances. I love the first five albums these guys made and parts of New Faces. My favorite is Clowns and Clouds, their 3rd. I'll post something from that one soon.

Masterpiece indeed.Weird band with heavy use of violin.And you said the magic key word for all these guys.Genesis.
In my opinion their debut "Traum" and some moments from the Live one are the best recordings. |

An old (relatively speaking) fave of mine when I was deep in the prog zone. Dudes were loving animals on this album. |
