Want to form the Greatest Unknown Band Ever?
Just follow Takeshi Mizutani's simple formula...
"1. Never record in a studio
2. Play only with musicians for whom the slightest deviation from the riff will most certainly be calamitous
3. Never release records (never ever)
4. Persist for three decades until the outside world catches on"
(Quote from Julian Cope "Japrocksampler" http://www.japrocksampler.com/japrocksampler/ )

"You live with the other side of the mirror
Breaking the petal which scatters
Breaking the mirror which scatters
Breaking your dream which scatters
Becoming the countless fragment
It falls in we....
You live with the other side of the mirror"

Elevator

2011-12-04T18:13:00.001-08:00

The Elevator on the outside of a house near Potsdamer Platz. filmed 1968, when the former center of Berlin was deserted and cut by the border between East and West Berlin.
Music: Eruption (Conrad Schnitzler, Klaus Freudigmann, Wolfgang Seidel)

Eruption were an obscure krautrock legend operating on the Berlin underground in parallel to MkI TANGERINE DREAM and KLUSTER. Created at the Zodiac Club as a project of sound engineer Klaus Freudigmann, they existed for a little more than one year and at their peak they featured the all-star line-up of Freudigmann, Conrad Schnitzler, Lutz Ulbrich, Michael Gunther (both AGITATION FREE), Dieter Serfas (EMBRYO), Klaus Schulze, Manuel Goettsching and Hartmut Enke (that later become the ASH RA TEMPEL trio).
Up till now, their only documented recording is a 1970 studio session of an early line-up of the band as a trio of Freudigmann, Schnitzler and Wolfgang Siedel, unearthed by the Italian Qbico label.
