Dave Cousins was born in England in 1945. He holds a degree in statistics and pure mathematics from Leicester University. Cousins is best known as the founder and leader of The Strawbs, a prog folk band. His career has seen him follow several different paths, including spells in Radio (he was controller of local radio station Radio Tees and managing director of Devonair).
Despite his many years in the music business, he has only ever released one solo album, 1972's "Two weeks last summer". While the line up of this album is somewhat different to that of the Strawbs, including as it does Jon Hiseman and Roger Glover, it is to all intents and purposes a bona fide Strawbs album.

Cosmic Dreams:
The multi-instrumentalist Georg Deuter (born 1 February 1945) should really be acclaimed as the first new age musician in the world. His blending of beautiful meditative Eastern-influenced music and nature sounds was way before his time. In the sixties he worked as a graphic designer and newspaper columnist in Munich. However, from childhood onwards he taught himself to play flute, guitar and harmonica. In 1970 he embarked on an extended journey to Persia, awakening his passion for Eastern ethnic music, philosophy and religions. When he returned to Munich, he began to perform at clubs as a one man band, and was signed up with Kuckuck.
D (1971) was totally different to his later style, making massive use of distorted electric guitars, searing organ, raga rock rhythms, psychedelic sound collages and backwards tapes. A real psychedelic treat! As with all future albums, Deuter also acted as producer and engineer. Aum (1972) was something totally different. His first attempt at merging sitars, tablas and flutes to the sounds of birds, wind and water (reflecting Deuter's deep relationship with nature), resulted in an addictive, aesthetic music.
Like Florian Fricke in Popol Vuh, Deuter experienced a religious revival and converted his name into Chaitanya Hari Deuter. In Poona, India, he found his guru in Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Celebration (1976) did indeed celebrate Center's spiritual revival and focused on beauty and harmony. The peaceful music was full of joy and warmth. Indeed, he had now found his own distinctive and personal style, and, from this point on, his albums grew increasingly celestial, meditative and beautiful. During the following years, Deuter lived and recorded his music in Poona.

All the Delirium releases are rather common due to the great success many of them had, with the only notable exception of the third album, Delirium III (Viaggio negli arcipelaghi del tempo).
Odd to say that Jesahel was also covered (with translated lyrics) by many international artists including Shirley Bassey and the english group Congregation.

Dreams Fantasies & Nightmares:
Saxophonist and vocalist Colin Cook was born in Bangladesh. He first came to attention in Australia as a member of the Melbourne-based instrumental combo The Sapphires, which he was a saxophonist in between 1958-61. Their music really predates this book. After a few months in another pre-1963 Melbourne band, The Thunderbirds, in 1961, he went solo later that year.
He released a string of 45s, did a lot of session work in the early days and frequently appeared on T.V. often supporting acts from abroad.
In the late sixties he went to the U.K. He performed in the London productions of 'Hair' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar' between 1974-77. He also wrote jingles, recorded for Philips and Phonogram, formed two bands The Rainer Brothers (1979) and The Jealous Guys (1981) and appeared in several T.V. shows.

ProgArchives:
Pascal Comelade is a french pionnier in experimental electronic soundscapes, revealing himsel as a very eclectic musician, absorbing various popular musical genres to create something unique. His discography features colourful impressionist, micro-tonal electronic efforts for a large variety of instruments and sound effects. He belongs to Richard Pinhas (Heldon) musical family tree (he played with Richard Pinhas on "Musiques pour films volume 2" , Oblique Sessions II" 1999) . He also collaborated with Faust, Robert Wyatt (September song, 2000) and formed the band Bel Canto Orchestra...The publication of "Back to Schizo" (old materials from 1975-1983) is a good introduction to post modern minimal electronics.

the Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Michael Rother (born 2/9/1950, in Hamburg) was raised in Munich, Wilmslow (England) and Karachi (Pakistan), before returning to Germany, settling down in Düsseldorf during his teens. From 1965-1971 he was with the band Spirit Of Sound, and then spent a short time with Kraftwerk before establishing with fellow Kraftwerk member Klaus Dinger, the dynamic duo Neu! in 1972. Michael also worked in the band Harmonia, with Cluster musicians. As a guitarist and sonic explorer in these earlier days he proved to be an innovator with exceptional talent and unique vision. As a soloist, Michael's output has never quite lived up to what most people expected. A talented guitarist and explorative musician, yet even his debut FLAMMENDE HERZEN sounded like a diluted Neu! Though notable for Jaki Liebezeit's precision drumming, and exceptional quality production, it was the start of a trend that ended up with later albums becoming very mellow. Amusingly, one could say some ended up sounding like Hank Marvin interpreting Neu! The recent CD reissues all include remixes and new tracks as bonus material and attempt to promote Michael Rother as the father of techno! This is surprising, really, when his new album ESPERANZA turned out to be a much more sensitively crafted and mellow, mostly synth based album. More recently, Michael Rother played live in concert with Roedelius. |
