LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Probably one of the weirdest discoveries in the field of collectable german albums in recent years, Staff Carpenborg's sole output was first brought to the spotlight by the compilers of the celebrated "Kraut! Demons! Kraut!" cd-series in the mid-90's. Since then rumours and interest about the album have risen exponentially since this is weird record (and we mean WEIRD) is one of the earliest known examples of kraut-rock. How such a demented collection of tunes found their way on the budget Maritim label is up to everyone's guess, specially if one takes into account the label typical output of schlager, mariachi songs, children tales and similar all-ages budget shmaltz. This may be also the reason why "Fantastic Party" went under the radar for so many diggers and record collectors as little they expect such crazyness would hide in the grooves on this otherwise crappy-looking album.
No one knows who was behind this weird studio project except a certain Paul Bucher credited on the record as the composer of all tracks. Anyway what this anonymous bunch of musicians left behind was a puzzling set of psychedelic jams choked with an overdose of effects which can be easily labelled as proto-kraut. Like the bastard son of Can (or better, The Inner Space) scoring a weird sexadelic euro flick, this is the missing link connecting a whole string of renegade, leftfield german music, from The Vampires of Dartmoore to Amon Duul, that is, from psych-explotation experiments to bona fide kraut-rock.

So open your ears to the sounds of the strangest and most fantastic party you're ever to attend with our reissue of this obscure artifact brought back to life for your aural delight. Available in a limited issue of 500 copies bearing the usual Wah Wah trademark of quality. Cover art reproduces original artwork from the 1970's Maritim lp. Remastered sound by Dennis Blackham @ Skye Mastering. "
