https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2PlqYA3Z6g The third album is the one to get by this Swiss four-piece. "An Invisible..." is a highly original album that can be described as psychedelic heavy-progressive with some eastern influences and dominated by the rather unusual combination of Mellotron and bluesy harmonica! The album includes two complex 15-minute tracks that demonstrates and capsules the very original style and sound of the album very well. Lots of Mellotron, harmonica, flute, hard rocking guitar work and even some sitar. The performance of the material is very fresh and energetic. Like it or not, but this stuff is actually much more progressive in the true sense of the word than what your average Yes/Genesis- influenced progressive rock band ever will be. "Lady of Attraction" is probably the best of the shorter tracks and is a little bit more acoustic and laid-back than the rest of the album. The Mellotron and harmonica reaches heavenly heights at the end of this track. "An Invisible World Revealed" was Krokodil's masterpiece and should be in every 70's progressive rock collection.

Crocodiles age well. So it comes as no surprise that the band, named after the primeval reptile with the killer instinct, is, once again, back in the game. Over 50 years after forming the group in Zurich, and 45 years after their break-up, Düde Dürst, drummer, band leader, graphic designer and archivist of the first Swiss “supergroup”, decided to take another stab at it. In the midst of working on a rerelease of Krokodil’s psychedelic masterpiece «An Invisible World Revealed» (1971) he couldn’t help himself but get inspired. His latest vision? Recording an album that unites Krokodil’s pioneering creative spirit with the zeitgeist of the 2020s. Together with the two founding members Walty Anselmo (guitar, sitar, vocals) and Terry Stevens (bass, vocals) as well as two younger and gifted musician friends, Adi Weyermann (guitar, vocals) and Erich Strebel (keys) Düde embarked on his latest, bold undertaking.

As a result a frisky psychedelic album, partly revived old Krokodil classics, partly newly written compositions, has emerged: «An Invisible World Returns». An album that ties in seamlessly with where Krokodil left of in the 1970s, and much like back then, transcends any stylistic boundaries. Düde chats about the album with confidence: «This sound is our sound, this time is our time». It’s obvious he’s happy with his creation, as he explains: «We love it, and others seem to as well. This is where we feel at home, this is what we do.»

Missing from «An Invisible World Returns» are singer Hardy Hepp, who had already left the group prior to the recording of «An Invisible World Revealed» as well as harp player Mojo Weideli, who passed away in 2006. The reformed group had no intention of replacing him - nor would they have been able to. Instead they welcomed Adi Weyermann’s and Erich Strebel’s own, novel musical influence that tied in flawlessly with the band’s collective sound.
The new album forms part of a special edition on vinyl, which also entails «An Invisible World Revealed» with its classic Düde-Dürst-Underworld-Cover and a 20-page large scale colour leaflet bursting with pictures and liner-notes.

Ok then. Mission accomplished? Almost. Düde Dürst hasn’t seen enough quite yet. He’s ready to rumble and plans to hit the stages with the new Krokodil line up - for starters on the 18th September 2020, the night of the album launch, at the Alte Kaserne Zurich. See you there! (krokodil.li)
