Notes

Legendary progrock- masterpiece, sometimes aggressive, sometimes melancholic. Superb guitars, distorted voices and great organ works recall PINK FLOYD or GROUP 1850. This longplay CD also contains many bonus tracks, among them a former 25-minutes-version of "flash".

First legit reissue of this 1971 Krautrock album, recorded in Köln and issued on Bacillus at the time. Includes 6 bonus rehearsal tracks from 1970 plus an unreleased 25 minute version of "Flash". A couple of tracks like the massive 13-minute opening "Dirty Yellow Mist" and "The Executioner" reveal the secrets of early 70s psych/rock as well as anything to be named, w/ monotonous, spacy riffing grinding into the third mind zone. "My Solid Ground's first and only record presented the full atmosphere of psychedelia -- sometimes aggressive, sometimes melancholy. Superb guitars, hypnotical voices and classical keyboards recall Pink Floyd or Group 1850 at it's best."
