Dzyan refined their sound even further into improvisation and exotic sounds, mixed with weird experimentations and mysticism. ELECTRIC SILENCE offers other-worldly music of incredible beauty and strangeness, influenced by the music of Asia but taking it into far more original realms.

 

Multi-instrumentalists Marron and Karwatky experimented with sitar, saz, tambura, mellotron, synthesizers, bass-violin, and a mysterious invented instrument called "super-string", all merged in an extreme melting pot of styles, ideas and fertile imagination, interacting into a "psychedelic worldgroove"; while Giger, bursting with creative power and virtuosity, holds it together with his fantastic drumming. From the weird opium-den trancesoundtrack of "Khali" to the more funky "For Earthly Thinking", to the even wilder tracks like "The Road Not Taken", Dzyan crafted one of the finest and most unique works of the Krautrock era.

 

ELECTRIC SILENCE, an amazing work on its own, rhythmically adventurous and unique jazzprog, is indeed one of the landmarks in experimental rock, a masterpiece. A highlight in German rock history.
Dont miss this first vinyl-reissue transferred from original mastertape with 4 pages insert, band history, unseen photos et. al. Limited edition.

]]> Mandala https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/mandala-3/ Thu, 11 Jan 2024 23:00:00 +0000 https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/mandala-3/ Dzyan recorded 3 albums between 1972 and 1974. Each album they released was quiet different. After the release of the first album the line-up changed and Eddy Marron was the new guitarist. The SWF-session reminds a lot to their first album. Dzyan played a slightly jazzy form of progressive rock with flashes of Zappa's Hot Rats and even some VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR saxophone- fronted diversions. These radio studio recordings are even more rock oriented then the first album recordings. There are five titles. 4 new compositions and a longer (11:00 minutes) and different version of probably the best title from the first album "Dragon Song". Steels Electric/Daddy Groove is a 15 minutes suite, very inventive and with great guitar playing by Eddy Marron. ZAZ has a great ethnic feel produced by fine Zaz (Turkish stringed instrument) also played by Eddy Marron and oriented rock rhythm patterns. Finally "Resurrection" was part of a one hour suite, Dzyan sadly never recorded. This recordings are among the best ever recordings at the SWF session studio. Remastered from the original master tape. Fine booklet (vinyl version has an insert) with a cover painting by Helmut Wenske (never used before on a cover), band story, photos. A definitely must have!

]]> Dzyan https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/dzyan/ Thu, 11 Jan 2024 23:00:00 +0000 https://wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com/product/dzyan/ Originally released on small label "Aronda" in 1972 Dzyan's eponymous 1st Album was their most rock oriented one. Similar to their SWF-recordings 6 month later Dzyan played a slightly jazzy form of progressive rock with hints of Wolfgang Dauner, flashes of Zappa's Hot Rats and even some Van Der Graaf Generator styled saxophone-fronted diversions. As the Freeman Brothers write in their classic book "The Crack In The Cosmic Egg" an "intriguing album that is still fresh today". Strong expressive vocals (Jochen Leuschner), refined guitar playing (Harry Krämer) and remarkable sax tunes (Gerd Ehrmann) supported by an excellent rhythm section with extraordinaire bass player and bandleader Reinhard Karwatky and solid drummer Ludwig Braum are the characteristics of this great album, which is incomprehensible underrated in comparison with their latter albums "Time Machine" and "Electric Silence". CD comes with corresponding booklet. Don't miss this superb album!

Produced by Peter Hauke and recorded and mixed by great engineer Dieter Dierks the trio performed on Time Machine a new sound mutating away from vocal-prog-rock of the first album to explore further jazz and ethnic tonalities with far more space-out and exotic improvisations to an unusual hybrid of acid-rock with serious jazz chops approaching "Mahavishnuland". Time Machine offers virtuous and unorthodox musicianship with a high and very own esthetic quality. Existing in a no-man's land between jazz and rock, and as a pre-cursor to the post-rock crowd of the '90s, Time Machine was well ahead of its time. A highlight in German rock history. Compact Disc release from original mastertape, remastered and with 11 pages insert, band history, unseen photos.
