EJWUUSL WESSAHYQQAN - s/t

1996 CD reissue of this German album, originally issued as a private press by the band in 1975. Named after a book by Clark Ashton Smith, the concept of pronouncing their name is an acquired taste. Much easier is listening to their music, and odd and primitive mixture of mid-70s underground styles. This CD is from master tapes, with 4 bonus tracks. Ejwuusl Wessahqqan were a Munich band acquainted with Amon Düül II whose style is vary similar to theirs. Firmly structured songs were the exception amongst broad improvisations combining spontaneous musical ideas. A special characteristic of their style is the absence of vocals and guitar which was replaced by the self-made seven string filouphone. The highlight of the CD is the outstanding, highly psychedelic bonus track The Crystal by the follow-up band Koala-Bär." - Garden of Delights.
