Sand - Golem (1974, Germany) Krautrock


The story for this album is that the band wrote a whole bunch of folk songs and then decided to re-do them into long synth laden epics and what a fine result came out at the end. The CD re-release adds an amazing amount to the album with the entire second CD full to the brim with new material and in my opinion their best material. The sparse synth soundscapes of Vulture I/II are my particular favourite tracks.

1. Helicopter (13:42)
