Very excellent, early instrumental jazz rock band, somewhat influenced by the Mothers Of Invention, Soft Machine & their own "krautrockness".
Featuring guitar, keyboards (Rainer Bruninghaus!), sax, bass & drums, they released just 2 albums in their lifetime. This superb quality, previously unreleased 1972 radio broadcast features tunes from their 2nd album & more. Extremely good stuff.
“These top musicians would have really deserved the big breakthrough, but only Rainer Brüninghaus eventually made it. At the time, their two LPs were too sophisticated and progressive for the general public, and fans of progressive music found them too jazzy. This is why they could hardly please anybody and their very elaborate music did not find many listeners.
Next to the so far unknown tune "Lilybaeum" - the stress is on "ae" -, this gig contains stage versions of three tracks from their second LP.
The included 20-page full-coloured booklet contains many photographs of Eiliff, a long band history, a poster repro, a detailed discography with many cover and label repros, etc. Limited edition of 1000 numbered LPs.”
