What an amazing track from the incredible Harmonia trio (plus Mani Neumeier, here wilder than ever, beating the drums like a savage and keeping the rhythm like a metronome!). So GOOD, even 45 years later!
@@bobbyshields7196 I first listened Harmonia through this album in 1977, and the song was this one. I was 16 years old then, but I still remember my astonishment when listening this at 10 pm on the radio, in a special 2-hour program of experimental rock dedicated to Agitation Free (the fantastic "Khan El Khalili" from Malesch), Cluster ("Im Süden" and "Georgel" from Cluster II), Neu! ("Für Immer" from Neu! 2), Can ("Aumgn" fron Tago Mago) and Amon Düül II (the mesmeric "Marylin Monroe Memorial Church" from Tanz der Lemminge). That night changed my life forever. There was no internet at the time, it took me some years to find all those incredible records. And they still amaze me after 43 years!
@via lactea I've long wondered how it must have felt to hear this kind of music at that time. I was born in 1985 so I didn't discover it until about 23 years ago, and even then I tried to imagine what it must have felt like.
@@BriteRory It felt like discovering an entirely new universe made of many galaxies and stars. An everlasting, exciting, heart-beating, mind opening experience. It was a door opening towards a new horizon full of discoveries. And not just German music... "Milky Way" (the opening track on first Weather Report LP), "Propiedad prohibida" (Battiato - Pollution), "Interface" by Heldon, "Portable madness" by Sensations' Fix, and hundreds of other sound creations. The zenit (or most far away galaxy)? Maybe Zeit by TD

Harmonia still sounds like the future. Timeless brilliance.
wunderbar !!
Great
File this under "M" for Masterpiece.
An amazing track, unfortunately vandalised by an ad halfway through. Capitalism blows.
