| Sergius Golowin (1930-2006) was a Swiss poet/writer/painter (responsible for the original cover painting of Ash Ra Tempel's Seven Up) and a friend of Walter Wegmuller. The sessions for this concept album in late 1972 were (arguably) the start of all the Cosmic Jokers-related sessions between 1973 and 1974. It brought Wallenstein together with Klaus Schulze and Witthuser & Westrupp. The Lord Krishna von Goloka album really sounds like a cross between the styles of the participating musicians (the cue word here is "space"!): Floyd-like space rock (Wallenstein), electronic spacious effects (Klaus Schulze) and traces of cosmic folk (Witthuser & Westrupp). Add that to the talents of a certain Jorg Mierke and the mostly spoken, mysterious lyrics of Golowin, you've got the album in a nutshell. | |
