Genrich, Ax
Highdelberg 1975
This is an official release in cooperation with Ax Genrich. Ax Genrich joined Guru Guru in 1970 as the extraordinary
guitarist on their first five albums. One can't overstate Ax Genrich's talent, as one of the most phenomenal and unique
German guitarists (Freeman Brothers in 'The Crack In The Cosmic Egg'). The music on his first solo album 'Highdelberg'
comes from recording sessions with Conny Plank at the controls and the music was done by friends stopping by to jam.
With the likes of Mani Neumeier, Cluster, and 3/4ths (Hattler, Wolbrandt, Fride) of Kraan by his side, Genrich made his
first recordings since leaving Guru Guru in 1973. The standout track, 'Kosmische Phyrze' is a 8-minute dreamy
instrumental containing guitar-based rock and electronic sound effects supplied by Cluster resulting in a very original
sound. 'Saure Drops Und Suesser Wein' contains a goofy rock sound which can be compared to Guru Guru's self-titled 1973
LP. This "supersession project" was very much in parallel to Mani Neumeier's 'Mani Und Seine Freunde' album. The album
offers various musical styles in the Ax Genrich vein: rather psychedelic, slightly jazzy and bluesy played with a lot of
fun and energy. This officially released vinyl version comes with cover sized insert sheet containing liner notes by Ax
himself, photos from his archive and with a newly remastering by Rocking Riesling Productions. Don't miss this legendary
album!
