He was aghast to get word of honor that he was listening to a novel Krautrock supergroup, and that he in fact was the guitarist. The Cosmic Jokers were the superlative Krautrock supergroup that never was, a cosmic joke even on to the highest degree of the musicians world Health Organization played on the roger Huntington Sessions, unbeknown they were members of this newfangled "mathematical group." Over various months in early 1973, producer Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser unionized several wild acid parties at Dieter Dierks' good studio, where the musicians played in exchange for a modest fee and all the hallucinogens they could consume. These musicians included Göttsching and Klaus Schulze of Ash Ra Tempel, Jurgen Dollase and Harald Grosskopf of Wallenstein, and Dierks himself. They had all been part of the Cosmic Couriers, a loose group that had musically backed Kaiser-produced records by Swiss artist/poet Sergius Golowin, gipsy Tarot-reader Walter Wegmuller, and even acid guru Timothy Leary the family before. From these 1973 roger Sessions, the Cosmic Jokers were innate, as Kaiser and Dierks emended and interracial the real and slapped it tabu on vinyl on Kaiser's Kosmiche Musik label without the other musicians knowledgeable anything about it until the records appeared in stores, regular as their pictures were posted prominently on the covers. The self-titled first base album followed in speedy succession by Astronomic Supermarket (which actually wasn't credited to the Cosmic Jokers when it originally came out) and Planeten Sit-In, all released in 1974. In that same class came out iI other records later credited to the Cosmic Jokers, the Kosmische Musik tag sampler Sci-Fi Party, and Gilles Zeitschiff (or "Jill's Timeship"). This last album featured Gille Lettmann, Kaiser's girlfriend at the sentence, besides known as Sternenmadchen, narrating over music pillaged from assorted earlier Kosmische Musik releases. By at present the unpaid musicians were quite resentful, and Zeitschiff, where they play second diddle to Kaiser's girlfriend, was the last stalk for Klaus Schulze, wHO soon took legal action against the increasingly megalomaniac Kaiser. By 1975, all the albums were indrawn until the musicians rights could be sorted out and Kaiser was run out of the nation by the authorities, his record empire destroyed. Though some people at the time disparaged these records as a bad gimmick and ane of the worst examples of blatant creative person heist, and Schulze noneffervescent reviles them, the fact can't be denied that these ar some of the topper records of dead tripped-out German cosmic outer space stone ever made. |
