Epitaph – Epitaph (1971)

Krautrock/Progressive Rock/Hard Rock… “Epitaph is a German rock band, formed in Dortmund in 1969. Playing initially what Allmusic described as “post-psych progressive rock, spiced with occasional jazz accents and widespread twin-guitar harmonies,” in 1973 they started shifting towards more straightforward hard rock (later heavy metal) stylings and, having released six studio albums, disbanded in 1982. In 2000 Epitaph reunited and several new releases followed, including two studio albums (Remember the Daze, 2005, and Dancing With Ghosts, 2009).” (Wikipedia) To learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaph_(band)

Creative Rock – Gorilla (1972)

This is a Jazz Rock, Krautrock album…. “German band formed in late-1969 as The Bourbon Street Paraders. They changed name to Creative Rock when they gained a contract with Metronome Records.” (Discogs) “With a good deal more invention and a powerful lead singer, their debut Gorilla was barely recognisable as German rock, yet despite this it was still rather good, full of complex brass arrangements and a most energetic rhythm section. LADY PIG followed in a similar, but heavier vein, with a bit more experimentation.” (Rocksteria) To learn more: https://www.discogs.com/artist/350345-Creative-Rock http://rockasteria.blogspot.com/2013/06/creative-rock-gorilla-1972-germany.html
