Sands Of Time - Selected Studio & Concert Recordings 1974-1990
*2022 stock.* 'Deuter has so much material available that it's best to start with one of several compilations of his work. Although Call of the Unknown is also a fine introduction to his music, the double-disc Sands of Time is really the best choice for several reasons; first because it features some of his most recent compositions (including a selection taken from his video soundtrack to The Petrified Forest) that you won't find on any other recording. The first disc also offers a balanced pres…
Call Of The Unknown - Selected Pieces 1972-1986
*2022 stock.* By the mid 1970's Deuter was fully formed as a composer, having jettisoned the rougher edges and rather derivative prog and Krautrock elements of his first few albums. The albums listed above date mostly from his heyday spanning 1976 to the late 1980's and appear on Celestial Harmonies sub-label Kuckuck. During this period he spent much of his time in Poona, India as a student of controversial guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The inspiration flowed and some truly great music was born.

D
*2022 stock.* 'Beginning with moody bass and guitar plucking that wouldn't be a fraction out of place on albums by fellow German musicians like Ash Ra Tempel, D finds Deuter as both an accomplished composer and self-producer. It's not about simply technical virtuosity, of course, as the music throughout D demonstrates. At once epic in scope and with a sly, careful sense of entrancement, this is psychedelic music in the immediately post-psych world. The multi-part "Babylon," which takes up most o…

With the aid of a mult…
Princess of Dawn - Soundtracks
Of all the artists to fall under the sweeping banner of Kosmische / Krautrock - a movement which has benefited from continuous attention from the reissue market since the 1980’s, Georg Deuter remains among the most unacknowledged and under-appreciated. The reasons remain slightly behind reach - the likely consequence of his association with the New Age movement across the 1970’s and 80’s, the lingering effects of stigmas which were later applied that movement’s efforts, and the reissue ma…
Aum
The second Deuter album from 1972; this was his last record before moving to India and falling under the guru-ship of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The rock-related moves of D are eradicated, but beautiful atmosphere, echo guitar & experimental form are laid out with ease. Late night pleasure abounds. His first attempt at merging sitars, tablas and flutes to the sounds of birds, wind and water (reflecting Deuter's deep relationship with nature), resulted in an addictive, aesthetic music.
