EXCELENTE BANDA ALEMÃ QUE FAZIA UM ROCK PROGRESSIVO COM VARIAÇÕES PSICODÉLICAS E HEAVY INTERESSANTES ONDE SE DESTACA O ORGAN HAMMOND PODEROSO, VIOLÃO ACUSTICO, PESO EM CERTOS MOMENTOS, ENFIM, TUDO QUE UM BOM PROGRESSIVO PRECISA TER!! A FAIXA "SPRINGWIND" POR EXEMPLO LEMBRA MUITO PINK FLOYD EM SUA MELHOR FASE PSYCH PROG NO FINAL DOS ANOS 60!! ÓTIMO DISCO E UM SOM PROGRESSIVO DIGNO DO INÍCIO DOS ANOS 70!! VENENO RECOMENDADO!!
West Coast 60’s inspired German psych rock band. Their first album "Seasons" (1971) is considered to be a little classic in the early days of progressive rock. It features complex epic songs within heavy rock, psych-spaced out proportions. "Morning" (1973) is a catchy collection of almost conventional heavy rocking songs. Without gaining the commercial success, the band split in 1973. The drummer Lucky Schmidt will pursue his career with the band Aera.
Musicians Steve Leistner (vocals), Thomas Leidenberger (guitar, vocals), Andreas Bueler (bass), Lucian Bueler (keyboards) and Lucky Schmidt (drums, percussion, mellotron) started their recording career with an album of cover versions as Corporal Gander's Fire Dog Brigade: "On The Rocks" (1970). It was recorded before Leistner joined and they adopted the name Wind. In 1971, they recorded the legendary album, "Seasons" - one of the most sought-after German albums nowadays. This was the second of three releases on the budget-priced Plus label. This varied album captured Wind in different moods: "Dear Little Friend" was a thundering heavy rocker and "What Do We Do Now" - a vintage progressive rock anthem with fine use of organ and flute. "Romance" is a charming interlude for piano and "Now It's Over" had melancholic, folky vibes like Pink Floyd circa 1969. "Springwind" had haunting vocal lines, and finally came the 15-minute closing track, "Red Morningbird" with its floating, moody folk whispering, interrupted by some outrageously heavy outbursts. This is one of the classics of German progressive rock that will always be remembered for its powerful Hammond organ dueling with electric guitar sound; it should appeal both to fans of progressive heavy rock and those of folk-rock, as performed by the artists on the Pilz label.

Obra-prima suprema! um dos melhores discos de prog e kraut que ouvi em muuuiiito tempo. As estruturas e composições não são inovadoras e não precisam! São executadas com tanta garra, os músicos são tão bons que o uso de lugares-comuns fica maravilhoso. Para ouvir e perder-se no espaço sideral. E parabéns pelo excelente blog, envenenando mentes.
