Guru Guru Live 1978 Prog Rock

Guru Guru - Live (1978) Prog Rock

Guru Guru were one of the wildest and most imaginative bands to emerge from the 1970's Krautrock
scene. MARTHA by a combination of LSD and Loud raunchy experimental music, many IT Incorporated
styles, from jazz to pop. The band remains active to this day and has a huge following in Japan
where they have often toured. Mr. Guru Guru himself, Mani Nuemier - one of the best drummers
ever - is considered a German
rock icon.

Live 1978 is an extremely well engineered live recording. The material on the album reflects many
aspects of the band, the free jazz experiments and the funkier direction the band took, as well as
Psychedelic LSD fueled revisiting the past. It's the Sheer variety of the selected tracks that
make this album so appealing. Mani Neumier's crazy humour is in evidence as well. Look out for a
wild version of "Der Elektrolurch ', a classic Guru Guru track!
This is an excellent live album of the band, which showcases the wild and imaginative fusion
capabilities of Mani and his colleagues ever rotating band. Many of the guitar alone and Percussion
improvisations with a touch of psychedelia.
Highly recommended.
