Wonderland Band As Wonderland, these were originally a 60's beat group formed by ex-Rattles musicians Achim Reichel and Frank Dorstal. A single's band (though there is an album MOSCOW - Bear Tracks BTS 943 400 - which documents their entire works), they played a creative pop music, but of little interest as far as Krautrock is concerned. Later, as "Wonderland Band" the music changed entirely to a notably Zappa inspired progressive, with elements of satire. Musically WONDERLAND BAND NO. 1 also rode close to the introspective moments of ATOM HEART MOTHER era Pink Floyd and strangely also there's a hint of early Jade Warrior. Fronted by those uniquely eclectic Dorstal songs that were later to be developed on Reichel's "AR+Machines" series of albums, it all amounted to a uniquely odd and highly creative album. This was Achim's first Krautrock exercise, the start of a highly creative adventure.
