Temporary reduced price. The debut album from Hölderlins Traum, centered around the family core of brothers Christian and Jochen Grumbcow, with Nanny Grumbcow (Christian's wife) providing the lead vocals. Originally released on Pilz in 1972 and recorded with Dieter Dierks - the same studio wizard who transformed Bröselmaschine and Emtidi's visions into sonic reality - this album represents something truly special in the German progressive folk landscape.

What could have been a straightforward folk record became, under Dierks' guidance, a refined and complex work that draws deeply from medieval and classical traditions while pushing into genuinely progressive territory. The guest contributions elevate the album further - Peter Bursch from Bröselmaschine adds hypnotic sitar textures, while Walter Westrupp (from Witthüser & Westrupp) contributes flute work that weaves through the compositions like wind through ancient forests.

Nanny's vocals carry a haunting quality that perfectly suits the album's exploration of German romanticism and mysticism - there's a timeless quality to her delivery that makes these songs feel like they could have been written centuries ago or yesterday. The arrangements are intricate without being fussy, building layers of acoustic guitars, recorders, and percussion into something that breathes with organic life.

This is essential listening for anyone exploring the deeper realms of German progressive folk - music that honors tradition while fearlessly reimagining it.
