The journey continues towards infinity and beyond with the #buzz roundup, which mainly features experimental records suggested by my console partner @[ALFAMA]. Today we present you a made-in-Germany offering from the early seventies, which is exactly kraut, so pay attention.

Et Cetera - Et Cetera (1971)

In this case, we literally dive in with both feet into an altered dimension and a piece of history of German experimental music that is probably less known compared to typical kraut-rock releases. Wolfgang Dauner (1935), avant-garde pianist and composer, established this collective in 1970 called Et Cetera, featuring guitarist Sigi Schwab and drummer Fred Braceful, and released this self-titled LP in 1971, which is a kind of small masterpiece (followed in 1973 by the release of 'Knirsch' with guitarist Larry Coryell and drummer Jon Hiseman). Recorded in London at Orange Studios with percussionist Roland Wittich and bassist Eberhard Weber, the album consists of episodes of experimental jazz noise ('Thursday Morning Sunrise,' 'Milkstreets'), the evocative 'Lady Blue,' the references to Indian music in 'Mellodrama,' and the fifteen minutes of 'Raga,' where Dauner's experimental vein merges with the instrumental capabilities of Schwab and Braceful. Very particular and futuristic.
