Puppenhaus - Jazz Macht Spazz 2009 ~ software for linux

PUPPENHAUS or 'Puppenhaus Kaiser Blumenstrauss' was formed in 1969 in GOPPINGEN. The band had musicians like Frank FISCHER from RELEASE MUSIC ORCHESTRA and Bea MAIER from ZOMBY WOOF and MOIRA playing jazz rock the likes of FRANK ZAPPA, SOFT MACHINE or WEATHER REPORT. Puppenhaus recorded this purely instrumental album in 1973 at a German radio station, and for some reason never managed to record anything else. The sound quality is not perfect but satisfying enough considering the circumstances. This album contains 77 minutes of exciting music divided into 7 tracks, when most of them are over 10 minutes long.Puppenhaus brings the more insane and freaky side of the jazz rock scene, their music is a blend of heavy King Crimson ideas (without the dark and sinister motif) swimming in a jazzy olympic pool. The music is often intense, upbeat with a wild jammy vibe, including raging sax and flute playing and wild biting guitars on top of some cool and jazzy keys, and of course they are backed by a furious rhythm section who keeps the show going on strong. The band is showing some serious chops every now and then and it's evident that those dudes are a well oiled machine. Although the main course is their energetic and schizophrenic playing, Puppenhaus still brings a lot of ideas to the table, and are not focusing on just jamming on D minor, the music contains all kinds of twists and turns which proves this group were into some top notch prog rock.
