Golem

The Profile

German 1970s krautrock project known for the cult, fully instrumental album Orion Awakes—pseudonymous musicians, underground aura, and relentless psychedelic jams.

Little is known about the lineup; musicians used pseudonyms. The release date of Orion Awakes is uncertain (reported between 1973 and 1976). The album is instrumental and regarded as a cult object with a tiny original pressing.

A single, glowing review hails Golem’s Orion Awakes as pure krautrock: instrumental, lysergic, fast-paced, and steeped in German 70s underground mystique. The album is described as a cult object with an uncertain release date and pseudonymous musicians, evoking Guru Guru and Ash Ra Tempel. Ideal for kraut enthusiasts and musical archaeologists.
