Band, 1970-1980 DE, Berlin
Rock
Os Mundi are one of the most important key bands of the early Berlin Krautrock scene. They were rooted in the bands: Safebreakers (1962+) and Orange Surprise, changing into Os Mundi circa 1969/70. The band's initials OS gave rise to the name Os Mundi, Latin for "The World" - apt when their debut LP was called "A Latin Mass". Os Mundi played heavy psychedelic prog moving onto more fusion realms with their second LP. A third album was never properly completed, although the band did exist on and off until 1980. In addition to 2 classic LP's and an archive CD, unreleased live recordings also exist from 1972 and 1979. Undocumented members include: Steve Jolliffe in an early line-up (before Steamhammer and Tangerine Dream), Ute Kannenberg from Metropolis, and Agitation Free main-man Michael Günther was in later incarnations.
