Album artwork for Kraut – Progressive Rock From The Gdr Archives, 1970 – 1975, Vol.1 by Various

2-CD (Digisleeve) with 76-page booklet, 28 single tracks, total playing time approx. 140 min. Progressive rock from the German Democratic Republic! Never before has the GDR scene been honored so extensively with studio and live recordings. Bear Family Records has documented what was happening in GDR rock off the mainstream by means of well-known rarities and some that have never before been released on record. From around 1970 onwards, highly skilled musicians began to copy the sound of their Western idols. The state's cultural policy had banished followers of western juvenile culture into the underground with restrictions and bans as early as 1965. There was "no beat ban" for progressive artists in the socialist brother countries such as Poland and the CSSR - the technical and artistic lead was correspondingly enormous, role models for the burgeoning young GDR scene. Progressives aus DDR-Archiven brings together on two CDs the crème de la crème of the rock scene of the GDR and other socialist countries at the time, with recordings for AMIGA and the Deutsche Rundfunkarchiv (DRA). The masters originated between 1970 and 1975 and were stylishly compiled by journalist and East German rock connoisseur, Marcus Heumann.
