ANIMA SOUND 'Sturmischer Himmel' LP (Spain, Wah Wah, Catalogue #LPS062) Brand new/unplayed copy of superb and limited Wah Wah label LP edition (limited edition of 500 copies only) of rare 1971 album by Paul and Limpe Fuchs (aka Anima / Anima Sound.) Early '70s original Ohr label-era avant-gardists who are perhaps most well known for their Nurse With Wound connection via their involvement in the 'An Afflicted Man's Musica Box' compilation LP released on the United Dairies label in the early '80s.

(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES ONLY!)

'Often described as one of the oddities in the Ohr catalogue, Sturmischer Himmel supposed the vinyl debut of sculptor Paul Fuchs and his wife Lime Fuchs. Recorded at 'a thousand year cottage on a windy hill' and opening with ambience recordings of wind and sheeps, the album is an organic collection of improvised atonal pieces ranging from the atmospheric to the wild with much use of screaming, horns, percussion, ambience recordings, wordless vocals and all kinds of home-made sound devices (Fuchshorn, Fuchszither, Fuchsbass...) Pure German counter-culture sounds from the early 70s. Limited to 500 copies. Sleeve reproducing all the original artwork from the Ohr press. Quality vinyl press inside a 350 gr. quality sleeve. Comes with an insert with info and photos!'

'The duo of Paul and Limpe Fuchs (aka Anima or Anima Sound) were amongst the experimental to emerge out of the late-60s and become involved in the Munich underground rock scene. Elitists, and pure avant-gardists at heart, they worked with all manner of conventional and home-made instruments, performing wild and demanding music. Somehow they were adopted by the experimental rock label Ohr, despite their music being barely rock at all! STURMISCHER HIMMEL, recorded at a "thousand year old cottage on a windy hill" with their children, is amongst the oddest of albums. Bizarre creative music it certainly is, but Krautrock it is certainly not! Soon the became friends of the Austrian jazz avant-gardist Friedrich Gulda, and were invited to perform at his "Ossiach" festival. With Friedrich Gulda guesting on ANIMA a long association began with them touring together and being featured on many of each others albums. Some of their later LP's run very close to free-jazz or the serious avant-garde. Also, Limpe Fuchs has recently been working as a soloist.' - The Crack In The Cosmic Egg
