Never heard of them before.

And yes the singer is female but with a very male sounding voice .

Like Franzoni I'd never heard of them but I listened to the whole 9 mins + and really enjoyed it - great musicians.

Thanks sp-1 good to hear music like that again - recorded amazing well for that era & the whole vibe reminded me a lot of a classic late night rock TV programme here in the UK called 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' that went off the air many years ago.

I also looked up some of Inga Rumpf's (the girl singer) other work and she reminds me of PJ Harvey who I think is an exceptional singer/songwriter/musician - great stuff.

I was looking for some Hammond videos and came across this video.
I really like their hammond sound.


It's nice to discover a new old band every now and then

You might want to check this out for a Hammond sound sp-1 from the very same 'Old Grey Whistle Test' TV prog I mentioned above - very, very weird vocals but a brilliant guitarist (Jan Akkerman).

I saw Jan in concert at a small venue a few years back and he was even better. He performed a self-penned guitar 'symphony' that lasted around 90 mins - non-stop - awesome stamina and skill. He used a small Leslie speaker set up in his rig that I've never seen before or after (looked like a WEM Copycat case type thing). This is very much an acquired taste I guess

Seen that Focus video many times and still love it. I would have been interested to hear Jan's long solo piece too.

I'd never heard of Frumpy before, despite being something of a prog rock fan. Cool track!

I already knew 'Focus' Hey, I'm dutch Thanks for the link anyway

There are a lot of great videos from 'Old Grey Whistle Test' It's like the German 'Beatclub' (broadcasted from '65 till '72)

I guess those were the days

Good to have youtube so we can watch what we missed

Great stuff! Can we turn this into a Prog/Kraut rock youtube thread?

My favourites - Can, featuring probably the most progressive prog/kraut drummer, Jaki Liebezeit:

Pretty sure she's a chick...this is her with another band I think...I like this track too (this is where I got the PJ Harvey comparisons from)...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FX2K53pyAs&feature=related

And, this is her all grown up....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc1u8GAAX5E

Really cool guitar sound & playing on this one and an interesting vid reflecting back on Frumpy

Forgot to say - Brutalitarian Supremacy - thanks for that link - that is stunning and I think Camel's 'Nude' is one of the best concept albums I've heard (remember 'concept albums' - those were the days...separate Off Topic thread maybe?) )
