Temporary reduced price. The self-titled debut from Bröselmaschine, originally released on Pilz in 1971, stands as one of the most distinctive statements in the entire Krautrock canon. This recent reissue captures the band's remarkable fusion of acoustic folk traditions with electric experimentation - a sound that emerged from the fertile German underground scene but carved its own unique path.

Led by guitarist Peter Bursch (who would later become a legendary figure in German folk music), the group created sprawling compositions that moved fluidly between pastoral beauty and heavy rock intensity. Guitars, flute, mellotron, congas, tabla, sitar & the magical voice of Jenni Schaecker make the ingredients for a very special record, recorded & mixed by Dieter Dierks in his unique fashion. The interplay between Detlef Wiederhöft's flute work and the rhythm section's hypnotic drive creates an almost trance-like quality, while Bursch's guitar shifts from delicate fingerpicking to distorted, effects-laden passages that anticipate later developments in progressive rock.

What sets this album apart from contemporaries like Amon Düül II or Ash Ra Tempel is its earthy, organic quality - there's a grounded warmth here that balances the psychedelic explorations. The production captures the band's live energy while maintaining clarity across the extended instrumental passages. This is music that breathes, that takes its time to develop ideas without ever losing momentum.
