Apocalypse, from Kiel, started life as 'Die Anderen' (trans: The Others) in 1966. ( ) After becoming 'Apocalypse' in 1968, they recorded one album before splitting. One name connected to the band that most Germans will know is singer Jürgen Drews. He is now the self-appointed "King of Mallorca", a favourite holiday island of Germans, where he is a frequent entertainer. He was also in the 'Les Humphries Singers', a popular group started by an Englishman in Germany that had many singers, including John Lawton of later Uriah Heep and Lucifer's Friend fame ( ). Apparently the Apocalypse album is an early production job of Giorgio Moroder, which does not surprise after hearing the quality and atmosphere of it. ( ) 'Life Is Your Profession' has an epic, rousing intro and ends up in some great progressive psych. (aftersabbath.com)

An early Moroder production.  I am not kidding!
It was actually recorded and released in 1969, not 1970. ( ) I like this album a lot. Very psychedelic, but also krauty on the other hand. Maybe Kraut Psych? Great Sitars, and especially great when blending in with Juergen Drews' voice.

Now, Non-Germans will not know that dude, but every single German knows him. He is the self-declared "King of Mallorca". That island off Spain is the favourite vacation place for Germany's White Trash. (Compare to Cancun for Americans.) The main kind of entertainment there is to get drunk out of buckets filled with cheapest red wine.
Now, that is where our Juergen finds his audience nowadays. Unfortunately, his songs have to fit that audience, and he plays his role pretty well.
But those who know him say that he is absolutely not that idiot he is pretending to be, that he is in fact a well educated, very intelligent man, even sensitive. He was supposed to become a doctor, at least his parents expected him to.
Well, this is the group (first named "Die Anderen", then renamed into Apocalypse) that got him off that academic trail.
After this group he joined the Les Humphries Singers (late 1970), and when they stopped existing in the summer of 1976, he immediately had his first (and biggest) hit with the german version of Bellamy Brothers' "Let your love flow" (his version, of course, was "Ein Bett im Kornfeld").
Now, knowing all this and then seeing the 60-year-old performing in a sleazy way with 20-year-old dancers (girls) on stage, one might not believe that this same guy was really a member of this Kraut Psych group Apocalypse, and that he really sang on this record.
But yes, it was really him, and I believe (personally) that this was in a time when he made music for fun, not to pay the mortgage.
Dear Juergen, you went a long, long way. (albgardis/rateyourmusic.com)
