LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Bremen 1972 documents Eiliff performing at the Lila Eule club on 19 April 1972. Professionally recorded by Radio Bremen, the concert features the group’s classic line-up of Rainer Brüninghaus, Houschäng Nejadépour, Herbert Kalveram, Bill Brown and Detlev Landmann.

The performance opens with “Journey to the ‘Ego’,” an energetic meeting of electric piano, saxophone and distorted guitar. The thirty-three-minute “Suite” then gives the musicians room to move through powerful jazz-rock themes, quieter psychedelic passages and extended improvisation. This archival Garden of Delights edition presents more than forty minutes of instrumental German progressive fusion and includes an extensive 32-page booklet.

1. Journey to the “Ego” – 8:07
