Annexus Quam from Kamp-Lintfort near Düsseldorf came along with the right music at the right moment. The seven-piece band formed in 1967 as Ambition Of Music; they were what was then called a "beat group". In 1970, working with a local trombone choir led to a dramatic change of direction. Trombone, clarinet, saxophone, scat-like vocals, various percussion, even a bicycle pump or a guitar played below the bridge found their way into the band. The ensemble mixed two musical genres: rock and free jazz, elements of psychedelic rock with heavy organ sounds were combined with freely dabbed brass notes. There are hardly any formal structures in the band's music; the musicians control the ensemble sound intuitively by concentrated listening to each other. Despite all freedom, the pieces remain comprehensible. The album was produced by Julius Schittenhelm in 1970 and comes now remastered.
