Led by skilled guitarist Peter Bursch, Broselmaschine's 1971 debut LP was a magical piece of psychedelic folk featuring guitars, flute, mellotron, congas, tabla, sitar and the enchanting voice of Jenni Schucker. Regarded by many as the best german folk-rock album ever!! 

What an amazing improvement in the sound of this 50-year-old recording. With the help of the original analogue master tapes and state-of-the-art technical equipment, the sensitive melodies of the original cast appear in a wonderful light of romance and empathy. Remastered at Dierks Studios, where the recordings were also made. Produced with the assistance of Dieter Dierks. The CD is released on the original Pilz label. Founded in Duisburg, Germany in 1968. Inspired by the American folk music of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Phil Ochs and Joni Mitchell, German master of acoustic guitar Peter Bursch formed the first line-up of Broselmaschine ack in 1968 alongwith flautist / vocalist Jenni Schucker - a female singer with an irresistible whispy voice - Willi Kissmer on vocals, guitars and zither, Lutz Ringer on metallaphon and bass, and Mike Hellbach on congas, tabla and mellotron. Although many tracks bear German names, almost all are sung in English. The quintet disbanded after a first album in 1971 and Bursch, keeping only guitarist Kissmer from the original line-up, pursued his musical endeavours under the name of Peter Bursch Und Die Broselmaschine, joined by percussionist Mani Neumeier (Guru Guru), drummer Jan Fride (Kraan) and three other musicians. Their eponymous LP is their best: a wonderful acoustic album full of finesse of subtle Indian and Middle-Eastern flavours (sitar, tabla, flute) as well as Irish/Scottish traditional folk (mandolin, multi-voice harmonies). For fans of Emtidi, or other such cosmic folk bands, the first Broselmaschine album is a breath of fresh air.
