Mitglieder der Berliner Philharmoniker, Germany ***REISSUED***


Mitglieder der Berliner Philharmoniker - Einstein in Eden. 1981 Polydor.

***8/22/24 note: Until now I thought the group and title were Einstein in Eden, Apparently it was performed by a classical collective and it has been reissued on CD by Polydor with no date attributed.

Interesting album that is truly symphonic rock - as in a symphonic band plays rock music. Side 1 is the more interesting piece that mixes epic classical soundtrack with electronic music. I could see fans of Art Zoyd appreciating this aspect of the group. Side 2 has more of a rock feel, with big fat beats approaching disco, that gets awfully close to Walter Murphy and The Big Apple Band - and genuine hokum ensues. Eventually they get back to their senses and close the album similar to how it started. But the stains are already on the carpet. Hard to get out.

Priority: none

11/2/10 (complete)
