Post Description

This awesome band came from Munich and made three extraordinary albums on the super-collectable 
Kuckuk label plus another that never got released until recently. Hennes Herring on KB (mainly Hammond
organ), Remi Dreschler on guitars, Moran Neumuller on vocals and winds, Klaus Spöri and Stefan Wisheu 
on drums and bass respectively made an incredibly tight unit although they were prone to a lot of 
improvisation moments also. Their music is somewhat similar to early British prog but will gradually 
evolve to a certain jazz-rock while staying very politically and socially conscious (in the typical German 
style of those years) although the singing does not hold a big place in their music, their third release 
(a double) being mostly instrumental. After their third album, OOF suffered their first major line-up 
change with keyboardist Hennes Herring leaving the band to join Sahara (another excellent group that 
will release two very solid albums), and he was replaced by yet another guitarist Wolfgang Gohringer 
(that made double guitar and double horn attack), but if it affected the group's sound a bit, it was nothing
drastic either. A fourth (excellent) album was recorded in the spring of 74, but for some reasons it was 
never released - until Ultima Thule/Cosmic Egg would in 2000. Sadly these events lead towards a slow 
decline of the group who would gradually slow down activities, recording just one more single and playing
their last concerts in 78. The musicians went their way, but in the mid-80's, three of them met and 
participated to Kontrast and recorded one of the best Krautrock album of that decade, according to the 
experts. This album and its intended suite just got a second life by getting a reissue, again on the Cosmic
Egg label. Among the other posthumous releases is the left-overs from FLMA albums (Rat Roads) and a 
Live in Palerme 72, both excellent records appearing on the great Garden Of Delight Label.
