Munju, Germany

High-Speed Kindergarten. 1976 April 

Moon You. 1977 Schneeball

Brot + Spiele. 1979 Schneeball 

Le Perfectionniste. 1982 Exil

One of the more known of the great Kraut fusion bands of the late 1970s and an original April/Schneeball label member along with Embryo, Missus Beastly and Real Ax Band. The first two albums are typical of the scene, both containing excellent instrumentals with sax/flute, a creative rhythm section, nice guitar, etc... Brot + Spiele adds in some New Wave elements and is highly original. Final album Le Perfectionniste is done at a time the band is playing with the Swedish RIO group Von Zamla and both groups took influences from each. 

All the masters are apparently lost. To date, the band seems content to offer their music for free as a download, rather than as a proper reissue. 

Munju's albums can be downloaded by request from the band. Details here from their website. (link updated)
