Blending avant garde, motorik beats, primitive electronic instruments, lots of flutes, and coming from a jazz tradition, Kollektiv rise up as a powerful yet obscure krautrock band. They only released one album in 1973, this one being a live bootleg that was released on 2005. This album has some terrific improvisations throughout, be sure to listen to the 24 minute cosmic epic \"Rambo Zambo\".
The liner notes of the album describe why Kollektiv was chosen as a name: \"\"We share the same aims and values, not just with regard to music. We do not separate into soloist and accompanist (rhythm slave). Each musician and each instrument has the same rights. Our pieces aren't individual compositions; they are born out of and grow through creative collaboration. After all, our name is saying : we are our own roadies, manager, technicians, bus driver, record producers and article writers, and three of us share the same birthday.\"
