No need for a 4/20 themed show given what I normally play anyway, so instead this week we do a feature on German drummer Harald Grosskopf. This drummer has been a stalwart of the German music scene, from progressive rock to Krautrock to Berlin-school over a 30 year period.
| Lunetic Wallenstein - Blitzkrieg - Ohr |
| Cosmic Couriers ... |
| Die Welt Walter Wegmüller - Tarot - Spalax |
| Galactic Supermarket Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Supermarket - Spalax |
| During one of the Cosmic Courier sessions, Grosskopf had a revelation that his drumming followed too much in the footsteps of others. He quit Wallenstein, and his interest switched to electronic music. His metronomic time-keeping proved invaluable for some of the Berlin school forerunners. |
| Stardancer II Klaus Schulze - Body Love II - Revisited |
| Frank Herbert Klaus Schulze - X - Metronome |
| Ice Train Ashra - Correlations - Virgin |
| Two inextricably linked albums that hinted at what electronic music could have evolved into, but alas did not. |
| So Weit, So Gut Harald Grosskopf - Synthesist - Bureau B |
| Electric Day You - Electric Day - Bureau B |
| Magooba You - Electric Day - Bureau B |
| Nightsounds Part II (excerpt) Bernd Kistenmacher / Harald Grosskopf - Stadtgarten Live - Green Tree |
