"Amongst the most legendary of Austrian underground bands, but with a virtually undocumented history, Paternoster originated from Vienna, and existed for only two years in the early-70's, disbanding after the release of just one album."-The Crack In The Cosmic Egg
"Before releasing their lone self-titled debut album, one of the most rare rock records to be released in Europe in the 1970s, Paternoster provided the soundtrack for a film that could only have been made while the psychedelic movement was still in its first wave. The group's first recordings presented here are the soundtrack for Herbert Holba's 1971 hippie sci-fi film Die Ersten Tage (The First Days), screened at the Berlin International Film Festival, and interestingly played on Austrian TV in August of that year.
The material issued here is the genesis of Paternoster and set the stage for the release of one of the world's great rock albums with their self-titled debut the following year. The music has been painstakingly transferred directly from master tapes, never before released in any form.
This 3-CD set also contains extended OST tracks and vocal demos of tracks that didn't make Paternoster's debut along with an extensive, photo-filled booklet documents the history of the band, Holba's film, and how psychedelic rock and film collided in Vienna's 70s underground."
