Spocks Beard  - The First Twenty Years

The view from the office this morning...

Downloading some previously unknown to me Krautrock from the early 70's...

It's  is basically two sides of drum jams - it features Keith Forsey, Giorgio Moroder's go to drum man prior to the use of drum machines (yes, his timing was that good - e.g. Sparks' "Number One in Heaven") and Udo Lindenberg - who was a jazz drummer before becoming Germany's biggest rock superstar...

The view from the office this evening...

Updating this, some late on listening and lights out on another weekend...

Highlight of the Day : New Krautrock...
