German Oak

Is anyone else feeling this? Grimy weird instrumental Krautrock recorded in a WWII bunker. Apparently people were so put off by it, the cover in partcular, that it only sold 11 copies. The remaining 200 or so were in one of their parents basements until the 90s when someone found out about it and dug them up. It only has four track, two long, two short. My only complaint is that the long songs start to get really interesting right before they fade out. But whatever.

    Apparently the og had no cover.A cover was made in the 90's at the time all remaining copies were discovered."New" cover is in the pic above.

    Weird, I assumed it was the cover everyone found so off putting. Crazy that it was so overwhelmingly unpopular just on the basis of the music. It doesn't seem that outlandish compared to some other German bands of the period that I've heard.
