GURU GURU - Kanguru (Reissue) - LP - Vinyl [JAN 31]

LP - Black Vinyl. Reissue of the 1972 krautrock classic by Guru Guru.  

"Kanguru" is the third album by Guru Guru, released in 1972 on the Brain label. It was produced by Conny Plank and featured the 'classic' Guru Guru line- up of Ax Genrich (guitar), Uli Trepte (bass) and Mani Neumeier (drums, vocals). Kanguru is basically made up of the same ingredients as its two predecessors Ufo and Hinten, which were released on Rolf Kaiser's Ohr label in 1970 and 1971. Kanguru is pure Krautrock, the album contains "only" 4 tracks, all between 10 and 15 minutes long.

But the band moves away from the disorganized chaos of the previous two albums and gives the songs more structure, reducing the amount of heaviness. At the same
time, the humourous component increases, see for example Mani Neumeier's spoken word in the introduction of "Immer lustig". In short, Kanguru is a Krautrock gem.
