Kosmische Kuriere

Kosmische Kuriere, the successor to Ohr, was a pioneering music label run by Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser. It started with three releases before changing its name to Kosmische Musik, also known as Cosmic Music in France. The label had three distinct types of labels throughout its original lifetime and was distributed by Metronome. Its iconic design was later featured on reissues by Bernhard Mikulski in the early 1980s.
During its original lifetime, Kosmische Kuriere / Kosmische Musik released a range of groundbreaking LPs. The label's design evolved over time, with different variations featuring center rings and raised dots. These releases were distributed by Metronome.
In addition to its original releases, the distinctive label design of Kosmische Kuriere / Kosmische Musik was also used on reissues in the early 1980s by Bernhard Mikulski for Pilz/Ohr/Kosmische Musik. These later reissues can be identified by their labelcode: LC 04124 / LC 4124.

The Cosmic Jokers

1974 the Cosmic Jokers were basically Klaus Schulze, Manuel Göttsching, Harald Grosskopf and various Ash Ra Tempel and Wallenstein members doing late night jamming. Galactic Supermarket is one of them, and is more rock-oriented than many others. It's no surprise the music bears more than a passing resemblance to Ash Ra Tempel, because of Manuel Göttsching and his guitar playing. Also Jürgen Dollase gives some nice keyboard work, particularly the piano, Farfisa electric piano, synths, and even a little Mellotron. Klaus Schulze were more responsible for the more droning organ and synth end of things, it's pretty obvious when he plays it. The legendary producer Dieter Dierks plays Bass on these nearly never ending improvisation. The recording was transferred from the original analog tapes at the Dierks Studios in Germany. And carefully remastered for an incredible result.
