Ax Genrich is a German guitarist who went all experimental after getting involved in the primordial Krautrock scene, briefly with Agitation Free after which he then joined the legendary Guru Guru and stayed with them 1970-1974.
This is basically reissue of his first album (1975 - "Highdelberg") mixed with two unreleased Guru Guru tracks: live "Electric Junk" from 1971 and "Oxymoron" recorded for Beat Club TV show and two tracks from his new solo albums: "Blow Up" from 1994 album "Psychedelic Guitar" and "Come Back" from his 1995 album "Wave Cut". Bonus tracks are cool and "Highdelberg" is a good albums with Mani the usual Guru Guru friends helping out (Kraan, Harmonia etc). It has a very rustic relaxed feel to it, with some psychedelic-folk like tunes mixed with acid out-there, and ambient tracks.
