Cosmic Dreams:
Here is another one of those albums with a very funny cover! The sleeve of the Hamburg band Ardo Dombec's only LP pictured a melting ice cream cone containing a cactus! Inside the fold-out cover the group were standing posing with ice cones, harmless ones this time! The group has often been dismissed as 'bad, boring and jazzy' (I know those words are synonymous for some people), but their album was actually quite good! Sax, guitar and flute dominated their sound. Some songs had interesting lyrics: "Clean Up Sunday" dealt with a nun who believes salvation can be secured by dropping some coins into the collection box each Sunday. "Downtown Paradise Lost" told about getting busted in Hamburg's red light district. They were also good musicians and enjoyed playing strange or complex rhythms, as Soft Machine did before them. Colosseum were also a likely inspiration to them. The group had two further tracks included on the Pilz' Heavy Christmas sampler.
