I have just got a very rare LP "Deutschsongs" by German songwriter Gerry Garstein on private Bramophon label. The album was recorded in 1979, and studying the back cover I realized Garstein had some musicians from Moira as backing band! The text says: <br /><br />"Gastmusiker (guest musicians in German - L.G.): Stefan Engels (von der Gruppe ON), Jorgen Kanwischer (von der Gruppe MOIRA), Gunter Bachle (v. MOIRA), Michael Stoll (v. MOIRA)". <br /><br />There is some more text there which basically says that musicians from Moira appear courtesy of Schneeball Records (or at least that's what I get with my embryonic German). Anyway, this means that by 1979 Jorgen Kanwischer from the first lineup (that did "Crazy Countdown") was still in the band, but Michael Stoll from the second lineup (that did "Reise Nach Ixtlan") was already there too! Who is Gunter Bachle, I've no idea. <br /><br />Anyway, I think it's an interesting bit of info which doesn't really explain the entire story, but at least proves that it was the same band responsible for these two great albums, not two different groups. They just had a really turbulent lineup. <br /><br />Cheers, <br />Lev dripdriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983248267146769896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782215816939234905.post-5676409217750581782011-11-18T22:17:16.549-06:002011-11-18T22:17:16.549-06:00I cannot find Crazy Countdown ANYWHERE.

Still, even for 1981, Moira's sound is considerably older.Purple Peak Recordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735592038872524224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782215816939234905.post-32948780759607656372010-12-11T02:32:20.046-06:002010-12-11T02:32:20.046-06:00Dear Tom,

(Reis...Dear Tom,<br />to your review about Moira - Same <br />(Reise nach Ixtlan):<br />I agree with you - you are right.<br />The fact is - the album is not from<br /> the year of 1984.<br />Since i starting collecting records in the late seventies, i mentioned every incomming album in a private "database" with artist / album title ect. and the year i got it.<br />I bought my vinyl of that album on a<br />Moira concert (!) in - 1981.<br />To my mind Moira were inspired through two books : Carlos Castaneda = Reise nach Ixtlan and<br />George Orwell - 1984 !<br />regards<br />Martin from germanyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635618501412129395noreply@blogger.com
