Galactic Explorers – Epitaph For Venus (1974 / Pyramid)
Un único álbum que atrajo cierta leyenda urbana, y del que se dijo que era "un fake de los 90". Error. Existió en los primeros 70. Como también existió el misterioso sello Pyramid. Que entre el 72 y 74 editó microscópicas ediciones de oscuros discos de bandas alemanas experimentales. Su escudería contaba con Golem, Temple, Cozmic Corridors, The Astral Army, Fuerrote o Galactic Explorers. Había fuertes sospechas de que el enigmático cerebro tras este sello, no era otro que Dieter Dierks, bajo el seudónimo de "The Mad Twiddler". Pero parece ser que corresponde a un ayudante suyo, Toby Hrycek-Robinson. El cual trabajó para Mythos, Dzyan, Birth Control o Can. Pyramid sería una especie de "pariente pobre" del sello Kosmische Kuriere.

Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
