recorded in 1971, this album is so far ahead of its time its unbelievable. each song flows with the wildness of an extended hendrix solo, while retaining a sense of heaviness and sloppy rocknroll parts. completely drug fueled free jazz musicians playin the blues. tell me what is better than that. if there was one rock band sun ra shouldve gotten together with, it was these guys. the drum playing alone must be heard to be believed...like bill ward, art blake, tony williams, and bonham rolled into one. any fan of early zz top, hendrix, the more 'out there' moments of zeppelin, sabbath,and the like should definitely check this out.

Originally released in 1971,this is the band's follow up to their 'UFO' effort(see my review)and just about as mind-blowing as well.Tired of labels being put on music?Let me just say that 'Hinten' is another must-have krautrock title from the great vaults within there of.The classic line-up is here:Mani Neumeier-drums&vocals,Ax Genrich-guitar and Uli Trepte-bass.Four lengthy tracks,like a couple of their other early releases."Electric Junk"(11:04)with a cool drum solo,"The Meaning Of Meaning"(12:16),their own version of "Bo Diddley"(10:03)and the floating brain damaging "Space Ship"(11:07)which may be the record's best cut.Highly recommended.

Mani Neumeire,the drummer of Guru Guru,is always standing in one of the Tokyo's most popular sightseeing spots,Tokyo Tower, as a doll made of wax, as well as Frank Zappa,etc. Do you think there are too many MANIACS in my country,Japan ? No.I think this is quite fine and correct. Have you ever heard or experienced Guru Guru? HINTEN is their best,I think. Here you can experience great psychedelic jams,inspired by Jimi Hendrix and other FREE or AVANT musicians. If you like both Hendrix and Albert Ayler, this album won't disappoint you.

Contrary to what Amazon says, this was originally issued on the Ohr label in 1971, Spalax is the label for this cd reissue. Most albums of this nature amount to nothing more than aimless showboating drivel. This power trio however, applies so much obsessive focus and force to their free jamming that one can't help but get sucked into their addled collective mental state. They play as if intent on melting their instruments down to a pool of black sticky goo.
