Staff Carpenborg And The Electric Corona
Fantastic Party
"Probably one of the weirdest discoveries in the field of collectable German albums in recent years, Staff Carpenborg's sole output was first brought to the spotlight by the compilers of the celebrated Kraut! Demons! Kraut! CD series in the mid-'90s. Since then, rumors and interest about the album have risen exponentially since this weird record (and we mean WEIRD) is one of the earliest known examples of Kraut rock. How such a demented collection of tunes found their way on the budget Maritim label is up to everyone's guess, specially if one takes into account the label's typical output of schlager, mariachi songs, children tales and similar all-ages budget shmaltz. This may also be the reason why Fantastic Party went under the radar for so many diggers and record collectors as little did they expect such craziness would hide in the grooves on this otherwise crappy-looking album. No one knows who was behind this weird studio project except a certain Paul Bucher credited on the record as the composer of all tracks. Anyway, what this anonymous bunch of musicians left behind was a puzzling set of psychedelic jams choked with an overdose of effects which can be easily labelled as proto-Kraut. Like the bastard son of Can (or better, The Inner Space) scoring a weird sexadelic Euro flick, this is the missing link connecting a whole string of renegade, left-field German music, from The Vampires of Dartmoore to Amon Düül, that is, from psych-exploitation experiments to bona fide Kraut rock. So open your ears to the sounds of the strangest and most fantastic party you're ever to attend with our reissue of this obscure artifact brought back to life for your aural delight. Available in a limited issue of 500 copies bearing the usual Wah Wah trademark of quality. Cover art reproduces the original artwork from the 1970s Maritim LP. Remastered sound by Dennis Blackham @ Skye Mastering."
