Cherubin - Our Sunrise (1974) (Full Album) [Psychedelic Rock Krautrock]
These are among the most dismissible mainstream of \"progressive\" rock bands from Munich, typical of the mid 1970's I suppose, with a light progressive edge, in the German equivalent of the Audience cum Wishbone Ash type of twenty. Andy Marx was previously with the similarly easy listening but more folky styled Tanned Leather. Their debut OUR SUNRISE is only of marginal interest, having some enjoyable moments.
Cherubin were a band from the early 70's German scene that is often lumped into the Krautrock genre, even though they are extremly American-Anglo sounding to me. This album is a strange combination of slightly progressive songs in a jazzy rock style, a bit like Karthago (with their heavy percussion arrangements), and West Coast hippy country rock, similar to bands like the Burritos, NRPS, Poco, Pure Prarie League, etc.
