Bemerkungen / Comments:
First official reissue of this fantastic German folk-, psych- and krautrockalbum, 1972 released on Bellaphon/ Bacillus. Midnight Circus` only album was recorded at the famous Dierks Studio with Peter Hauke producing. In fact Midnight Circus hailed from Cologne area and it would seem as though the idea behind Midnight Circus, being a duo with the aid of session musicians, was to emulate the cosmic folk of Witthüser + Westrupp, but with an internationally appealing English vocal bias. A success indeed, but also a touch rockier and strongly influenced by Dieter Dierks` involvement in the sessions. The atmospheric tracks featuring mellotron and flute also recall The Moody Blues and early King Crimson (Freeman Brothers in “The Crack in the Cosmic Egg”). Christian Bollmann, one of the band leaders has since become an accomplished ethno-musicologist, moving into the more ethereal realms of the new age. The recordings were remastered from the master tape and included two bonus tracks of 1971 released 7“ Coloured Is Gay/ Get It and a latter song “Seagull” from the vaults of the bands archive. LP comes with informative insert. Secret tip!
