Crack in the Cosmic Egg:
These originated as a psychedelic hard-rock band from Essen in the early-1970's fronted by multi-instrumentalist Rolf Trenkler. Undocumented at the time the CD release THE X-TAPES presents an amateurish band that had promise, but never made it.
Much later, with only one member in common: Winifried Rьger, their inclusion on a festival LP documents them as a riffing jazz-rock band, with saxophone and guitar lead, in the realms of Nucleus and Soft Machine. Lively, effervescent and full of solos. How some bands change! We are still to find out what Virgin's Dream debut album SOPHISTY is like, although it is reputedly excellent jazz-rock. After this, Martin Engelien went to Noctett.
