Satin Whale was a German progressive rock band, which formed in the early 1970s, known for their intricate compositions and a sound that blended elements of rock, jazz, and symphonic music. The band gained a reputation for their technical proficiency and ability to weave together complex musical passages with melodic sensibilities, characteristic of the progressive rock genre during that era.

Their debut album, Desert Places, was released on the Brain label in 1974. This album is a hallmark of the progressive rock scene, featuring long, elaborate tracks
that showcase the band’s musicianship and compositional skills. The music on Desert Places is characterized by dynamic shifts, extended instrumental sections, and a mix of guitar-driven rock with lush keyboard arrangements. The album captures the
experimental spirit of the 1970s, with its blend of different genres and influences, creating a sound that is both powerful and atmospheric.

Desert Places stands out for its sophisticated use of melody and rhythm, making it a significant release in the German progressive rock landscape. While it may not have achieved mainstream success, it remains a cult classic among progressive rock enthusiasts, appreciated for its creativity and the band's technical prowess.
