A mystical, majestic and magical Krautrock classic by Sergius Golowin. It was initially released in 1974 on the legendary Kosmiche Kuriere label, and has since been hailed by the noted Krautrock scholar, Julian Cope, as "A long Kosmiche-epic of high magic proportions" in his essential Krautrocksampler. An advocate and friend of lsd pioneer Timothy Leary, and subsequently author and politician, Sergius contributes mystical poetry to a backdrop of unfathomably wonderous music played by dazzling array of the finest players from the inner circles of Krautrock, including Witthüser & Westrupp, Klaus Schulze and ringleader Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, all deploying mellotron, tabla, acoustic guitar, vibraphone and more to translate their mindblown lsd visions into a form of music more suited to their language and mindset than the pop spirit of The Beatles. If you can handle strong psychedelic music, this is beyond essential.
