Cptn. Coffee. 1981 KladielasMusik
Didier's sole album is an incredibly obscure jazz rock release. Similar to Moira's Reise Nacht Ixtlan*, Cptn. Coffee sounds like something from another era - primarily 1973-74. Psychedelic fuzz guitar, driving bass, echoed German narration, atmospheric piano, and tricky meters with sax breaks ala Soft Machine. This is an exceptional album for its vintage.
* - I've recently learned that both albums were both recorded in the same studio in the same year!

Hi Tom,
The Didier album is also intresting historically because it features very young Michael Stoll who currently plays in Faust and has been doing that for quite a few years already. Kinda like the sole Key album (also a great one BTW, and a good fit for your blog), that was Markus Stockhausen's very early recording.
Cheers,
Lev
Thanks Lev for the comment! I think I mentioned Key in my main list, but haven't featured them separately. I didn't take a shine to them on my initial listen, though it sounds like I should give it another try!
