Reinhard Lakomy – Der Traum Von Asgard (1983 / Amiga)
Desde la República Democrática Alemana (GDR), el luego sintetista Reinhard Lakomy, comenzó su andadura en el campo del jazz en los 60. Entrados los años 70, colabora con diversas bandas, entre ellas Puhdys. Y crea una serie de música infantil muy popular en su país. Su amistad con Klaus Schulze y Edgar Froese, (al que le compró un sintetizador), le animan a experimentar en el lado electrónico. Música en absoluto derivativa de éstos, (quizá con alguna leve influencia), pero generalmente bastante inusual. Con un perfecto balance entre melodía, experimentación y disonancia improvisada. "Das Geheime Leben" (1981 / Amiga), ya fue un acierto creativo, excelente y muy recomendable. Que se solidifica con el segundo que hoy traemos, "Der Traum Von Asgard".

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.
