Satin Whale - History Box 1: The Studio Albums (CD)

Details: Satin Whale - History Box 1: The Studio Albums - Part 1 of the complete retrospective of the Cologne (Germany) progressive rock band Satin Whale incl. All studio albums of the band from 1974 to 1981 - "We had idols who influenced us, from Jethro Tull to Deep Purple and later Supertramp. From the beginning, we tried to play as well as our Anglo-American colleagues," remembers Thomas Brück, bassist and singer of the Cologne progressive rock band Satin Whale. - Generally labelled, as usual with a German rock band in the early 1970s, as Krautrock, the four Cologne musicians already developed on their debut album "Desert Places" (released in 1974 on the Brain label, the trademark for rock music from Germany) a quite independent and unmistakable sound with high recognition value. Reward of the effort - already the debut album was sufficient that in the same year the listeners of the German Radio Station Südwestfunk voted Satin Whale the most popular band in Germany in the contest "Rocksound 74". The musicians then continued on their successful course. - Over the years Satin Whale released 5 studio albums, a soundtrack ("Die Faust In Der Tasche", 1979, starring Manfred Krug and Ursula Monn), a live double album and a remix album, for which Germany's producer legend Conny Plank was responsible. - Now a complete retrospective of Satin Whale's work is released in two box sets. The first box set "The Studio Albums" contains the 5 studio albums from the years 1974 to 1981, the second box set (released a few months later) contains the live album, the remix album and the soundtrack. A booklet with plenty of background information by Thomas Zimmermann and photos are documenting the history of the band.
