Crack In The Cosmic Egg:
The story of Kollektiv is quite complex. Originally a school band playing pop songs in the mid-1960's as a trio called The Generals with the twin brothers Jogi and Waldemar Karpenkiel, and Jürgen Havix. During the late-1960's the three went their separate ways playing in di

From ProgressiveRock :
a. In the past few days, I've been going through my live recordings of King Crimson in their 1972-74 period (my favorite and arguably their prime). The trouble is, there are just so many good renditions of so little material that I'm having trouble differentiating between recordings. I mean, "Fracture" as a composition is so ferocious that I don't really need 20 versions of it to find one that kicks my ass - they all do. That said, while most King Crimson fans seem to believe that The Great Deceiver and The Nightwatch together are all the live '72-'74 Crimson anyone needs (and admittedly, that's already 6 discs of material), I'd have to add USA to that list.
The first thing that struck me upon first listen was the sound quality. It's pretty much top-notch, certainly on par with the two releases just mentioned. The other thing I noticed immediately was that, well, these performances are pretty great. One expects nothing less than absolutely shredding performances from these guys, of course, but USA delivers in spades. "Larks' Tongues Part 2" and "21st Century Schizoid Man" are especially intense, and the improv "Asbury Park" pretty much left me speechless with delight. Furthermore, "Exiles" here, particularly Wetton's performance on bass, has become my favorite rendition of that song, surpassing the version from disc 3 of The Great Deceiver.
Cosmic Dreams:
As far as I am aware there were no other German bands like Kin Ping Meh who chose their name in the Chinese language! In 1970, this quintet assembled in Mannheim. They played live extensively during their early years, performing a rough hard rock modelled on British bands like Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Spooky Tooth. Soon Kin Ping Meh were discovered by Polydor's talent scouts. Joachim Schafer left the hand just before the recording of their first album. He was promptly replaced by Willie Wagner, who joined the band in the Windrose Studio. Indeed Wagner wrote the stand-out track of this album, the opening 11 minute track "Fairy-Tales", a haunting heavy rock song with long, "progressive" guitar and organ solo parts. Even if you do not find this style attractive, you'll sense the great enthusiasm of the band. There were also some mellow, folky songs on the album, like "Too Many People", recorded live and boasting an irresistible chorus. Kin Ping Meh was produced by the experienced rock veterans Achim Reichel and Frank Dostal. The engineer was none other than Konrad Plank. The album is highly recommended for fans of groups like Epitaph, Zarathustra, Frame, etc. It's now quite rare (selling for more than 300 DEM) as the first and only vinyl edition was only pressed at around 5,000 copies.
