Founded in Hanau, Germany in 1968 (Disbanded in 1970) ORANGE PEEL is one of the first heavy progressive German rock acts. The band was formed in 1968 by Peter Bischof, Leslie Link, Heinrich Mohn, Ralph Wilrheiss and Curt Cress. They spearheaded the German rock movement with FAUST and AMON DÜÜL II by adding powerful organ playing to raw psychedelic rock. However, they released only one album, and disbanded immediately after in 1970. Most members pursued their careers with other progressive bands. The bassist Helmut Mohn replaced Michael Ertl in EPSILON, while Peter Bischof joined EMERGENCY and Curt Cress went to various bands like EMERGENCY, PASSPORT and ATLANTIS. Their unique album was recorded at the end of 1969. Mostly featuring long tracks, the record is one of the most heavily psychedelic organ-based progressive albums of its time, with elongated solos of angry organ and guitar.
