Simply Simpatico is the album title and it fits the vibe perfectly.

Side A holds a four and half a minue long freaked out advertising song for a jeans-boutique called Ciro (sung in german). Their credo I Believe In Music on side B adds a tiny piece of paper to the tongue and takes us to progressive Kraut heaven for almost 7 minutes.

Organic percussion and words that are still relevant. This little known private press by Pago Balke and his company holds some unpolished jewels. Apart from that excellent cover version of Tülay German's Dere Geliyor Dere there is a highly notable song about our beloved cars ...
