First CD re-issue on Spalax from 1988 of the debut album by one of the weirdest and most radical groups linked to krautrock, the free improvising duo of Paul and Limpe Fuchs.

condition (disc/cover): NM / NM

Digipack cover.

Behind Anima-Sound stood a married couple, the sculptor Paul Fuchs and the percussionist Limpe Fuchs, who built much of their own instrumentarium and gave the contraptions Fuchs-prefixed names: Fuchshorn, Fuchszither, Fuchsbass. Stürmischer Himmel, taped live around 1970 and issued by Ohr in 1971, is free improvisation of an almost rural kind, atonal, acoustic, opening with wind and the bleat of actual sheep.

There is screaming, there is horn, there is percussion struck on homemade metal, and almost nothing that resembles a rock beat; the nearest cousin is European free jazz rather than anything kosmische. The duo would later tour the countryside on a tractor with livestock in tow, playing uninvited in village squares, which tells you most of what the music sounds like. This is the Spalax CD edition.
