Experienced jazz avantgardists Joachim and Rolf Kühn joined forces with Volker Kriegel, Gunter Lenz and Stu Martin to release this superb mixture of krautrock, psych, funk and free jazz. With all kind of sound effects coming from distorted clarinets, Hammond organ, groovy bass/drums section, breaks and hot guitar licks The Mad Rockers paved the way for many krautrockers to follow. Reissued in vinyl for the first time since its 1969 debut on the Metronome label, this is a basic record to showcase the rich mixture of different styles that would make the 70's German music scene so unique and appealing.

The Kühn Brothers, Rolf and Joachim, were at first reluctant to the reissue of this amazing LP. They are highly trained musicians with a huge experience and a big sense of innovation and they felt they have many works which are much better than this one, which undoubtedly they do have since they started being really young and are still at it nowadays, but here at Wah Wah we do feel The Mad Rockers album is a landmark in krautrock story, since it anticipates the path that would be travelled by so many legendary krautsters of the seventies. Everything is there, the adventurous mixture of styles so diverse as psychedelic rock, jazz, funk... You name it, you find it. Plenty of excelent breaks, experimental in the quest for new sounds, with instruments run through distortion effects, the musicians involved are all key figures in the development of modern European of its era. You have Volker Kriegel, who besides his own solo recordings shall also be remembered for his great contributions to Dave Pike Set's classic albums or his work with Klaus Doldinger. There is Stu Martin, drummer also on other interesting projects like The Free Pop Experimental Concept also reissued on Wah Wah. Plus Günter Lenz on bass, jazz master who has worked among others with names like Krzysztof Komeda, Lighting Hopkins, Chet Baker, Coleman Hawkins or Olivier Nelson, and he has even done orchestral arrangements for Plácido Domingo!

Jazz meets Funk and Psych, absolutely amazing groovy lp! With 2 songs compiled on Andy Votel's Music To Watch Girks By and The Big Deal, the rest of the LP is equally good!

Experimentados vanguardistas del jazz, Joachim y Rolf Kühn unieron fuerzas con Volker Kriegel, Gunter Lenz y Stu Martin para editar esta fantástica mezcla de krautrock, psicodélia, funk y free jazz. Con todo tipo de efectos sónicos saliendo de clarinetes distorsionados, órgano Hammond, sección de bajo y batería de lo más groovy, breaks y brillantes riffs de guitarra, los Mad Rockers pavimentaron el camino que muchos krautrockers habrían de seguir. Reeditado en vinilo por primera vez desde su primera edición en Metronome, este es un disco básico como muestra de la mezcla de diferentes estilos que harían la escena musical alemana tan especial y atractiva.

Los hermanos Kühn, Rolf y Joachim, mostraron al principio cierta reticencia a reeditar este disco. Siendo músicos académicos del mayor nivel y con amplia experiencia y sentido de innovación en su opinión tienen material más interesante que merece ser reeditado antes que esto, y sin duda será así ya que empezaron muy jóvenes y se han mantenido en activo desde entonces, pero en Wah Wah pensamos que el disco de The Mad Rockers es una obra clave en la historia del krautrock, ya que anticipa el camino por el que transitarian tantas leyendas posterioores del krautrock de los setenta. Lo tiene todo: la aventurada mezcla de estilos tan diversos característica del krautrock, breaks excelentes, experimentación en la búsqueda de sonidos con instrumentos filtrados por diversos efectos de distorsión y unos músicos que son todos figuras claves en la música europea de los setenta. Tenemos a Volker Kriegel, quien a parte de sus aclamadas grabaciones en solitario será también recordado por sus colaboraciones en los clásicos LPs de Dave Pike Set o sus trabajos con Klaus Doldinger. Está también Stu Martin, batería en otros proyectos interesantes como The Free Pop Experimental Concept, también reeditado en Wah Wah. Y también Gunter Lenz al bajp, maestro del jazz que ha tyrabajado entre otros con Krzysztof Komeda, Lighting Hopkins, Chet Baker, Coleman Hawkins o Olivier Nelson, e incluso ha creado arreglos para el mismísimo Plácido Domingo!

El jazz se cruza con el funk y la psicodelia! Dos canciones de este disco han sido recopiladas en los LPs de Andy Votel Music To Watch Girls By y The Big Deal, y el resto es igual de bueno!
