- Germany ~ Green Brain (1069)
- Original ...1975 RARE original, first & best SOLO effort by the
- acid-progressive drummer & sound effects wizard EROC ...
- Pioneering original member of the mighty GROBSCHNITT ("Rough Cut")
- who are forever considered in the top level of Krautrock glories, amassing a slew of albums over the course of decades ...
- It was with the famed KRAUTROCK band Grobschnitt where EROC found his greatest glory years where he served as drummer and band leader during the band's existence throughout 1971 until he departed in 1983.
Grobschnitt enjoyed considerably success as one of Krautrock's most enduring bands that was well known for the indefatigable stamina of performing three hour plus live shows night after night.
Just like many band members across the board, EROC was moonlighting and creating his own stash of musical ideas that were never really meant for public consumption. Many of his space-rock projects began before he ever started Grobschnitt and without the confines of a record label, EROC nurtured his strangest fantasies into bizarre musical beasts that only ended up on record due to a friend of his insisting that he record them as a solo album. The result was this heavily electronic slice of Krautrock released in 1975 on the Brain label. While originally a self-titled debut, the album has more affectionally been referred to as EROC 1
While serving as Grobschnitt's drummer, EROC also mastered many other instruments such as the keyboard and the guitar and plays everything on this album not to mention his mastery of the soundboards and production. The result is a stellar sounding experimental album that takes your soul into the cosmos and although on the cusp of the waning years of the most outrageously creative years of progressive rock, EROC's collection of tracks that were constructed throughout the time period and display the true zeitgeist of one of Germany's most creatively fertile eras in the experimental music scene. The album contains seven tracks
"Kleine Eva" begins the album and also serves as its lengthiest which at over 12 minutes nearly doubles the playing time of anything else. This showcases a clear departure from Grobschniit's bombastic hard rock approach and exists as a progressive space-rock track with dreamy melodies on synthesizer while casting comet-tail sweeps that accent the offbeats. Cosmic flowing space trips, flows into "Des Zauberer's Traum" much moodier with terrifying drones and frightening sustained buzzing as well as a plethora of acid-effects taking a cue from the most surreal aspects of Klaus Schulze's early years ... Then "Die Music com Ölberg" sounds like an electronic dedication to a royal knighting of some sort. The most kosmische of the trackstaking the award for trippiest on the album go to "Norderland" and "Horrorgoll." The former simulating a frost-bitten landscape in all its bleakness, while "Horrorgoll" is worthy as the best FREAK-OUT lysergic trip the Krautrock scene produced with a never ending series of echoed vocals and acid-effects ... don't miss this gem
"Sternchen" ends the original album with a strummed rhythm guitar that oscillates in and out of tune along with sensible atmospheric embellishments which gives it a strange unearthly feel.
