Anima
The 'Anima' sound was extreme for sure: a very spontaneous music, close to extreme free jazz, but lacking the academic approach of this genre. Paul And Limpe Fuchs' (aka Anima Sound) music was more primitive in a way, full of screams, goons, weird sounds and much percussion.

Musik fur alle
Rare private press Krautrock from Paul and Limpe Fuch's Anima Sound – featuring one long improvisational piece on each side – oddly haunting and strangely beautiful! Raw home made percussion, off kilter melodies and really effective vocals make this a genuinely fascinating set that's surprisingly effective. Made while the duo was touring Germany and performing on a wagon they used as a stage, pulled throughout the country by a tractor!
