Galling & Gruzis - Krautrock (2018)

It was March 2017 when Richard Galling (AKA Richard From Milwaukee) teamed up with Gruzis for a first collaborative EP on Jolly Jams. Here, that EP is reissued under a new title with the addition of a swathe of remixes and bonus cuts. As the title suggests, all the material is in some way informed by the cosmic world of 1970s krautrock. This is particularly evident of Felix Dickinson's epic "Long Journey Remix" of "Further Past The Break", which layers the duo's original tumbling guitar solos and Tangerine dream electronics over a hybrid Balearic dub disco/krautrock groove, though can also be heard on Mind Fair's fantastically dubbed-out, 1980s Adrian Sherwood style revision of "Soft Dream" (which, incidentally, is given a more traditional kosmiche twist on the brilliant Baffopizza Remix).
