opal

Originally released by Ohr in 1970, Embryo’s legendary debut was inventive piece of progressive jazz-rock spiced-up with free moves and soaked in a late 60’s psychedelic atmosphere. The original blueprint which gave birth to the jazzier-end of krautrock (Xhol, Kollektiv, Thirsty Moon, Kraan...). An absolutely must have for any krautrock buff.. and of the best Ohr albums !!!

W/ John Kelly (Ten Years After),  Edgar Hofmann, Christian Burchard, Ralph Fischer plus guests Bettsy Alleh (voice), Roberto Detree (motocello),  Holger Trülsch (bongo).
