ET CETERA - Et Cetera

Heavy, crazy and amazing Wolfgang Dauner album, reissued for the first time ever. First ever released on CD, Et Ceteras eponymous album (1980 reissue on Brain titled Lady Blue), originally released in 1971 on Global is an extraordinary album of weirdly trippy fusion that rides somewhere between instrumental Amon Düül II, Embryo and Dauners own earlier classic Output. Full of ethnic (Arabic and Indian) spice with lots of the ethnic color added by legendary guitar and sitar (et. al.) player Sigi Schwab (Embryo), odd keyboard sounds by Wolfgang Dauner, dreamy bass patterns by Eberhard Weber and driving percussions by Fred Braceful and Roland Wittich, this is spacy, crazy, Krautrock and -- a bit jazzy. Alan and Steven Freeman (The Crack In The Cosmic Egg) present this album in their The Krautrock Top 100. Maybe the album was originally planned as a double-LP because there are three more titles from the same recording session, which really knock you out. Kabul is a killer, especially because of Schwabs exploding electric guitar and Webers driving bass. Tau Ceti is a wonderfully dreamy delight presenting Schwabs gorgeous acoustic guitar playing. Last but not least, the bonus track Behind The Stage connects Schwabs special electric guitar with the bands atmospheric but rhythmic fundamental playing. This album will be a masterpiece for all time. Its unique. Digitally remastered from the original master tapes. The sound is brilliant. CD comes with informative booklet." Includes 3 bonus tracks." -Long Hair
