GURU GURU	Mani und seine Freunde	CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 3602CD
$19.00 IN STOCK "For almost 58 years, Mani Neumeier, the enfant terrible of German rock music, and his band Guru Guru have been among the most consistent and innovative groups in German rock history. Far removed from the mainstream, Guru Guru have always gone their own way with their synthesis of experimental rock, avant-garde approaches, jazz variations, and world music influences. This was also the case with the album Mani und seine Freunde (Mani and His Friends). The year was 1974, and Mani Neumeier had actually disbanded his Gurus at the end of the year. But shortly thereafter, the energetic drummer and singer found himself in the studio with a few friends to record a quasi-'solo album,' which ultimately ended up being released under the Guru Guru label. Mani called, and the 'who's who' of the German Krautrock scene answered his call: Dieter Moebius and Achim Rodelius from Harmonia, Ingo Bischof and Tommy Goldschmidt from Karthago, Helmut Hattler, Jan Fride, and Peter Wolbrandt from Kraan, former Guru Guru guitarist Ax Genrich, guitarist Sepp Jandrisits, bassist Jogi Karpenkiel, who would be part of the next Guru Guru lineup, and -- somewhat outside the norm -- US blues singer and pianist Champion Jack Dupree. In keeping with the large number of musicians involved, Mani and His Friends is stylistically very diverse. It ranges from light-hearted, funky jazz rock à la Kraan -- most of the pieces were written with the participation of Hattler and Wohlbrandt -- to well-tempered ethno jazz rock and Mani's pun rock 'Chicken Rock,' as celebrated on 'Tango Fango' just under a year and a half later. The centerpiece of the album is the percussive long track 'From Another World.' After that, '1, 2, 3, 4, Marsch'n'Rock' lifts the mood enormously. The track transitions into a radio broadcast of Champion Jack Dupree's 'Drink Wine,' thus forming the conclusion of a very successful album."

GURU GURU	Kanguru	CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 3352CD
$18.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Känguru is the third album by Guru Guru, released in 1972 on the Brain label. It was produced by Conny Plank and features the 'classic' Guru Guru line-up of Ax Genrich (guitar), Uli Trepte (bass) and Mani Neumeier (drums, vocals). Känguru is basically made up of the same ingredients as its two predecessors Ufo and Hinten, which were released on Rolf Kaiser's Ohr label in 1970 and 1971. Känguru is pure Krautrock, the album contains 'only' four tracks, all between 10 and 15 minutes long. But the band moves away from the disorganized chaos of the previous two albums and gives the songs more structure, reducing the amount of heaviness. At the same time, the humorous component increases, see for example Mani Neumeier's spoken word in the introduction of 'Immer lustig.' In short, Känguru is a Krautrock gem."

GURU GURU	The 1971 Bremen Concert	CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 3382CD
$18.00 NOT IN STOCK "In 1971, Guru Guru had already released two LPs on Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser's Ohr label, distributed by Metronome in Hamburg, namely UFO (1970) and Hinten (1971). On September 21, 1971, Guru Guru played in the then line-up of Mani Neumeier (drums, vocals), Uli Trepte (bass) and Ax Genrich (guitar) in the auditorium of the Bremen High School at Leibnizplatz. The sound engineers of Radio Bremen were present and took the opportunity to record the concert. Guru Guru's program that evening consisted of three long pieces with extensive improvisations: the almost 24-minute opener 'LSD Marsch' was taken from the 1970 debut album, followed by 'Bo Diddley' and 'Space Ship' from the then current second album. 'Hinten' had just been released shortly before the Bremen concert and had already caused quite a stir in the press. 'With this recording, sound engineer Conny Plank has created a masterpiece,' wrote the German music magazine Sounds: 'The Gurus have musically changed a lot for the better, their music is no longer so nervous and scattered, the long, free excursions of the three instrumentalists now lie over calm, drawn-out bass lines and a powerfully marching drum set.' The idiosyncratic blend of rock, jazz and funk with African polyrhythms and psychedelic sound cascades is finally available in its full length and revised form in record stores."

GURU GURU	Live At Rockpalast 1976 & 2004	2CD/DVD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 90572CD
$19.00 NOT IN STOCK "1976, with six albums and eight years after being founded the German Krautrock legend Guru Guru was the first German band to be invited to play at Rockpalast. Guru Guru with their outstanding drummer Mani Neumeier have always been considered the perfect hippie band. Every festival of alternative music from Burg Herzberg to Finkenbach was their playground. Hence, this Rockpalast with two Rockpalast shows from 1976 and 2004 is also a document of Germany's music history. Guru Guru presents a wild mixture of rock, jazz and horseplay combined with rhythms of bossa nova or tango. Our special recommendation! Since 1968 up to this day Guru Guru is still live 'on the road' throughout the world."
