Nosferatu

Named following the vampire from the first expressionist film, Nosferatu had been among the first teams from Germany to explore beyond the traditional defeat music and blues in to the a lot more progressive realms of Krautrock in the past due 1960s. The group can be probably one of the most obscure Krautrock rings, with only 1 record with their name. The 1968 college students riots in Paris had been the spark for a number of groups of music artists, in both France and Germany, which event marks the starting place of the initial Krautrock rings, included in this Can, Xhol Caravan, as well as others, including Nosferatu. One early member was guitarist Michael Winzkowski, who later on went on towards the better-known prog-rock music group Epsilon in 1970. The group’s music still owed some debts to more regular British rock and roll and earlier defeat rings, but also noticed the group adventuring from longer compositions plus some fusion components, and their music was imbued with this dark Teutonic angst that frequently distinguishes Krautrock from additional rock music of this period. In 1970 Nosferatu documented their only self-titled recording, that was released from the French label Vogue in both France and Germany. At the moment the music group contains vocalist Michael Thierfelder, sax and flute participant Christian Felke, bassist Michael Kessler, organist Reinhard Grohe, guitarist Michael Meixner, and drummer Byally Braumann. Since Vogue wasn’t a label normally connected with Krautrock, record product sales languished as well as the group disbanded another 12 months when Felke became a member of Winzkowski in Epsilon. The uncommon LP offers since become one of the most pricey items around the collector’s circuit, with mint copies fetching the same as $500 or even more. In 1993 the recording premiered on Compact disc by Ohrwaschl.
