Cosmic Jokers - Cosmic Jokers LP. Recorded in 1973 during a series of acid-fueled all-night jam parties held at producer Dieter Dierks' studio near Cologne, 'Cosmic Jokers' was the work of a veritable krautrock supergroup that included Dierks himself, Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra Tempel), Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream) and Jürgen Dollase and Harald Grosskopf (both of Wallenstein). This free-form freak-out LP, consisting of two epic tracks, was the first of five albums by the group. A first-rate slab of electronic psychedelic space rock, essential for genre fanatics! (sealed)
