Tibet - Porta Westfalica 1975 (2026)

A 1970s progressive rock band from Cologne/Köln, Germany, Satin Whale started as a largely instrumental band, playing long tracks with keyboards, flute, and majestic Porta Westfalica 1975 (2026) is a precious archival document of the German scene, capturing a live performance by Tibet three years before the release of their only, iconic, self-titled album in 1978. Recorded live in Porta Westfalica in 1975, this release shows the band at their rawest, most uncompromising, and improvisational, when the musicians were experimenting more with extended instrumental suites and a powerful krautrock drive.
