A
sextet from Hamburg,
playing the patented,
distinctive German
type of progressive
jazz-rock typified by
underground legends
like Xhol or Out Of
Focus (2nd & 3rd
album). The leading
soloist in Thrice Mice
was Wolfgang Buhre.
Vocalist Karl-Heinz
Blumenberg had little
to do most of the
time. Their
self-titled album was
recorded during
November and December
1970 in Hamburg and
released on Phillips
in 1971. Buhre often
tried to copy the
wah-wah sax style of
Ian Underwood of
Mothers Of Invention,
this was most apparent
on opening track "Jo
Joe". On "Vivaldi" the
three soloists were
playing duets with
themselves in turn!
Minnemann's organ
sound was high, thin
and cranky in a late
sixties' way. The
distinctive German
underground sound
(rooted in jazz)
marked the track
"Torakov". After a
couple of years, the
group resurfaced as
Altona and made two
further albums for RCA
in 1974 and 1975.
Style - Underground
