05-KK 2258003 LP
This is the first-ever vinyl reissue from the orginal analog master tapes! This is a Cosmic Courrier Kraut classic. Wegmuller was an artist who had designed a Tarot card set, & the music here is performed by what is basically the first version of the Cosmic Jokers: Manuel Gottsching, Hartmut Enke, Harald Grosskopf, Jurgen Dollase, Jerry Berkers & Walter Westrupp.
Produced by that big Cosmiche Joker himself, Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, & star-maiden Gille, there are many moments of wild, searing Krautrock!
“Remastered by Dieter Dierks and Dennis Flüchter. Walter Wegmüller (1937-2020) was a Swiss-Jenish artist who grew up in difficult circumstances in Bern. After training in Basel, Bern, Paris, and London, he began his artistic career.
In addition to painting and sculptural works, Walter Wegmüller occupied himself with the entire spectrum of art. He gained widespread international attention, especially from 1974 onwards, with the publication of his Zigeuner Tarot. He was successful at countless exhibitions in Europe and overseas and was repeatedly awarded prizes and distinctions. However, he never forgot his origins as a Verding child and "Rome child from the Kalderasch tribe."
In 1973, he released the album Tarot with an all-star band. Successful musicians such as Klaus Schulze, Manuel Göttsching, Harald Grosskopf, Dieter Dierks, Hartmut Enke, Jürgen Dollase, and Walter Westrupp played in the band. It was Walter Wegmüller's only foray into the world of music.”
