The Cosmic Jokers

Band, *1973 DE, North Rhine-Westphalia
Electronic and Rock
A.k.a. Galactic Supermarket

Sessions by Dieter Dierks, Harald Großkopf, Jürgen Dollase, Klaus Schulze, and Manuel Göttsching - from February to May of 1973 Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser organized a series of psychedelic jam sessions at Studio Dierks; apparently the musicians were all high on drugs and didn't even notice they were being recorded (at least in the case of Klaus Schulze). In any case, the following year Kaiser and Gille Lettmann assembled three LPs worth of material to release from these sessions which have been cosmic classics, though largely disowned by the musicians involved.
