Grobschnitt Grobschnitt

West German rock band Grobschnitt will see a very limited 17CD super deluxe box set of all 14 of their albums released later this month that comes with almost seven hours of bonus material. The box set is titled 79:10 and covers the entire output of the band from 1972 to 1989. Everything has been newly remastered and in total there is over 22 hours of material for fans to enjoy. The reason for ’79:10′ is that each of the 17 CDs has 79 minutes and 10 secs of audio, so they are packed with content!…

1972 debut album by legendary German prog band. This is the 2017 black/white 180 gram vinyl 2 LP set that is remastered and includes 3 bonus tracks, booklet, insert and download card.

Expansive, stirring, and majestic, German band Grobbschnitt's music rivaled that of Genesis and Yes in the symphonic rock sweeping sweepstakes, combining absurdist jokiness, circus music, seriously orchestral passages, and rock-inspired grandiosity. This 1975 album - the band's third - is an adventuresome and only slightly dated outing that is a must-have for prog fans, and highlights include the joyful "Clown." The 2007 reissue includes both English-language and German versions of every song.

Interest in Grobschnitt led to a partial band reunion from May 2007 with Wildschwein, Milla Kapolke and Toni Moff Mollo. The band performs faithful versions of the classic material - in other words this sounds just like you remember Grobschnitt. This live show was recorded in Bonn and Menden Germany in May 2008. The material concentrates on the post-Eroc period but is highlighted by a scorching 43 minute version of Sonnentanz, which was in reality a musical sequel to Solar Music Live.

Alternately psychedelic, progressive, and hard rock-styled, the eclectic German band Grobschnitt became one of the most popular live acts in German history. The group recorded several lauded albums in the 1970s, moving between styles before switching to more mainstream pop and rock in the 1980s. Meanwhile, in part thanks to drummer Joachim Ehrig, the group added touches of absurdist humor to their records and live shows…

The Grobschnitt debut from 1972 are a milestone in modern music history. This double CD collects what the band recorded before the debut was released. These early authentical recordings leave in many ways a livelier and fresher impression compared to the perfectly polished studio versions of the LP from Metronome. They show "the" Kapelle Elias Grobschnitt precisely in the fashion as they were to be experienced in those days.

Considered by many to be the second last good Grobschnitt album before the departure of Eroc. In fact consciously Grobschnitt elected after "Merry Go Round" to stop recording their signature fairytale - like music and move more in the spirit of the '80's. Considering this was one of the later Grobschnitt albums it contains many of their most beloved melodies. "Merry-Go-Round" contains everything that you would expect with great drumming - bass - guitar interplay with fairytale-like keyboards and atmospheres. Songs are exceptionally well written and performed and if you are a completist then you can snag Repetroire's re-mastered version with 2 bonus tracks.

This classic debut album from one of the most eclectic German bands to emerge from the seventies is an essential for anyone interested in exploring the developments which were taking place in rock music in continental Europe in the early 1970's. Highly recommended!
