Sonic Sculpture on Cosmic Egg

Obscure experimental free Krautrock jazz and electronics outfit, only ever previously issued as a demo, now available as a special limited edition on Cosmic Egg for those that love such weird stuff! In Sonic Sculpture I hear what could have been one of those groundbreaking albums on the CMP label a decade or so earlier, partly Krautrock, partly avant-jazz, and partly a genre no one has given a name for. In it elements of David Torn's "Tripping Over God" sit alongside touches of Günter Schickert, the crazier improv flights of 1975/76 era live Can, etc.. There are also fragments of abstract Dada like poetry, some of it in English, some in German, adding a Fluxus connection (Conrad Schnitzler, Albrecht./d references can be heard too). Add to that much that is their own and unique, and you have a heady trip that deserves to be more widely heard.

p.s. This is a different Wolfgang Seidel to the Ton Steine Scherben member and Conrad Schnitzler cohort (aka Wolf Sequenza).
