Sand – GOLEM (1974)

Here is a bit form info about ”’Sand – GOLEM”’ album from THE CRACK IN THE COSMIC EGG book:

”Originating from lower Saxony originally, the musicians of Sand were like many Berlin bands, being people drawn there by the unique possibilities Berlin had to offer. An early incarnation, as a five piece band, were known as P.O.T. (Part Of Time) who toured extensively, and settled for a while in Cologne, but never released anything. So, as a trio (without the bassist or drummer) Sand were formed in 1972 when they moved base to Berlin. Inspired by the spirit of the scene in Berlin, they went out of their way to be as original as they could.”

”Sand only made the one album: GOLEM, which has remained a little-known obscurity, due to being issued as one of the special projects organised for the Kunstkopf demonstration series on Delta-Acustic. Notable for being produced by Klaus Schulze, and also the unique creation of combining cosmic synthesizer, folk and rock musics, sans drums or any conventional instrumental structures, GOLEM is a mystical album rich with the creative spirit of the era. A little hint of Pink Floyd here and there, and obvious Schulze influence, are the only references I could quote as pointers. A really trippy album, with swirling string-synthesizers, cosmic electronics, beyond the nether regions of cosmic Witthüser+Westrupp. Magic!”

”The ULTRASONIC SERAPHIM release includes the GOLEM album, and also documents many other unreleased demo and rehearsal recordings by Sand, as well as solo recordings by Hannes Vester, and also by his later band Johannes Vester And His Vester Bester Tester Electric Folk Orchestra. It amounts to the definitive Sand history.”

I was listening to Янка Дягилева (Yanka Dyagileva) on tapes the other day and even after all these years and over-saturation with various music  her songs touch me and ring true. I guess true talent and angst that she had is timeless.

От большого yма лишь сyма, да тюpьма.
От лихой головы лишь канавы и pвы.
От кpасивой дyши только стpyпья и вши.
От вселенской любви только моpды в кpови.

Sorry I  can’t translate this and give it justice.

Daevid Allen is a very cool guy.  Recently I got in the Gong, Soft Machine and Allen mood, and  listen to a lot 0f Gong and Allen’s solo stuff.  His music is funny, intelligent and he has a great sense of humor. It’s not without a bit of Hippie-dippy flavor, but I don’t mid that. All of his albums as well as Gong albums with his are well worth a try and highly recommended.

Even in the 90’s when this type of music was not in fashionable he was putting out hight quality psychedelic stuff. I remember going to this concert and being totally flabbergasted.
