Cosmic Jokers

In 1972, Rolf Ulrich Kaiser founded "Die Kosmischen Kuriere" where will be signed all the Cosmic jokers albums. The Cosmic Jokers was not really a band but a reunion of several German musicians and personalities from the 70s psychedelic and esoteric philosophies. The interest of this side project was to create a cosmic music with a virtual musical tribe to develop the world consciousness thanks to LSD.  The music is for a large part improvised with proto-electronic gadgets combined to bluesy & spacey musical sentences built around the talented Manuel Gottsching’s electric guitar style.

With no electronic pulse and rhythms, just a gloomy and distorted a…
