Best of the Classic Albums of the Week
(Pledge Drive!)
"Hinten" by Guru Guru (1971)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Guru Guru  "Hinten"  1971 (Germany)
This week's show features all former "classic albums of the week", so the new classic album has to be extra special.  Guru Guru is not one of the first names that comes to mind when "krautrock" is mentioned, but they were one of the most popular and original German groups of their day.  Led by jazz drummer Mani Neumeier, this power trio played a type of "free rock" that was very loose and jammy by rock standards, yet too loud and riffy to be called jazz.  Guru Guru's first three albums are all classics, though the second from 1971, Hinten, is often held up as their masterpiece.
There are a few Guru Guru clips on Youtube, since they were quite popular in their homeland and appeared on TV a number of times.  Here they are performing a loose version of "Electric Junk" from this album, and here is "Oxymoron"  featuring the groovy video effects of Germany's notorious Beat Club progran.
