A loose West German krautrock collective assembled by producer R.U. Kaiser in the early 1970s, featuring contributions from musicians such as Manuel Göttsching and Klaus Schulze and known for spacey, psychedelic recordings compiled from studio sessions.

Recordings were compiled and released by producer R.U. Kaiser in the early 1970s from sessions involving multiple artists; some releases were assembled from other projects' sessions and have been described as studio-compiled/controversial.

DeBaser hosts two appreciative reviews of The Cosmic Jokers' early‑1970s releases. Reviewers emphasize the project's psychedelic, spacey textures and its compilation/orchestration by R.U. Kaiser. Standout releases discussed are the self-titled Cosmic Jokers and Gilles Zeitschiff.

For:Fans of krautrock, psychedelic and early 1970s German electronic/space rock.

 I like to think of psychedelia as a virus for which no cure has ever been found.

 "Gilles Zeitschiff" is a bizarre, whimsical, and fascinating album.
