VARIOUS - KOSMISCHE MUSIK ( OHR ‎– OMM 2/56027, 2X VINYL LP, 1972) (MP3 VARIABLE BITRATE)


Pionero en la música rock, jazz, electrónica y experimental de los inicios de las movidas que acontecían en el Berlín de los primerísimos años 70, OHR es conocido como una de los sellos clave de la escena de Krautrock. Creado por el productor Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser y por el fundador de Hansa y Metronome, Peter Meisel, también generaron los subsellos Die Kosmischen Kuriere y Kosmische Musik.

El primer LP de Ohr fue lanzado en abril de 1970. La versión final se completó en diciembre de 1973 (lanzado a principios de 1974). En este momento, lanzaron 33 álbumes (cuatro de los cuales eran LP dobles) y doce singles de 7 ".

Ohr y sus marcas asociadas: Kosmische Musik y Pilz tuvieron dificultades con los litigios planteados contra la empresa por algunos de los artistas agregados, causando la confiscación de todos los activos y el cierre de Ohr y sus subsellos en 1975. Los archivos de todos los sellos fueron almacenados en las bóvedas de Dierks Studios, se asignaron algunos derechos a Metronome (con nuevos relanzamientos en Ohr o Brain) y más tarde, en algunos lanzamientos (cuyos derechos no se habían revertido a los artistas originales) se autorizaron a través de socios de Dieter Dierks establecido como Venus Records GmbH.


Esta compilación reúne nueve temas de sacrosantos nombres como POPOL VUH, KLAUS SCHULZE, ASH RA TEMPEL, TANGERINE DREAM, siete de los cuales son extractos de discos de los artistas incluidos y los dos últimos son dos temas hechos especialmente para la compilación a cargo de ASH RA TEMPEL y KLAUS SCHULZE respectivamente. 

Decir que este doble disco lo adquirí allá en los años 90 en la tienda de discos WAH WAH de Barcelona, que me supuso un dispendio económico importante para aquella época (el equivalente a 100 euros actuales) pero mereció la pena, porque fue uno de mis discos de cabecera durante un buen puñado de años (y sigue siéndolo). Espero que sepáis apreciarlo tanto como yo.

DISFRUTAD !!!

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful sampler. The final 2 tracks are very special indeed because the first is an instrumental outtake from Ash Ra Tempel's legendary "Seven Up" sessions with Timothy Leary. This is obviously the case since the musicians were unique to the configuration of Ash Ra Tempel who only played on that album. And the second ("Land") can only be an outtake from Klaus Schulze's "Irrlicht" sessions, edited from the end of the second track ("Satz: Gewitter") from that album Line the two tracks front to back and see what I mean.

    I too have had albums that became so ingrained in my life that they were almost like friends. Again, big thanks.
