Over the last five decades, Krautrock forerunners Guru Guru have been breaking boundaries, experimenting with free jazz, rock'n'roll, Indian, South East Asian and African rhythms and scales to create their own brand of psychedelic cosmic rock.
* Now reissued: their remarkable album from 1997.
* A stunning, diverse work.
* Total playing time: 45 minutes. Stereo. Fully remastered.
GURU GURU have been an institution for over five decades. Forerunners of Krautrock, the group, founded in 1968 by drummer, singer and visionary Mani Neumeier, have been breaking boundaries since the beginning, fusing free jazz with rock'n'roll, experimenting with Indian, Southeast Asian and African rhythms and styles, to create their own brand of psychedelic cosmic rock, inspiring musicians and audiences the world over, especially in the United States and Japan.
After their successful tour of Japan and the inauguration of Mani Neumeier's own wax figure in the Tokyo Tower Wax Museum in the fall of 1996, GURU GURU processed their Japanese impressions on their next album Moshi Moshi, originally released in 1997. The album, dedicated to their many new Japanese friends, features songs like 'Jet Lag', 'Don't Worry About The Koto,' which incorporates Japanese themes, and of course the title song 'Moshi Moshi,' a GURU GURU classic still found on the band's set lists today.
With an updated line-up featuring Roland Schaeffer (saxophone, guitar, nadaswaram, vocals), Luigi Archetti (guitar, vocals), Peter Kuhmstedt (bass, vocals) and - of course - mastermind Mani Neumeier (vocals, drums), GURU GURU move away from their psychedelic, spacey sound, heading for groovy, prog/jazz, rock'n'roll songs mainly sung in the English language.
