Reissue on 180-gram vinyl of a studio album, originally
released in 1973. Includes 2 bonus tracks. ABACUS is surely a
big name for everyone interested in German rock music. The
band, formed in 1971, made their breakthrough at the
Germersheim rock festival. There they drew as much applause
from the 300,000 visitors as did PINK FLOYD, SANTANA or
EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, all of which appeared on stage as well.
ABACUS released four LP's, the last three being recorded at
Giorgio Moroder's MUSICLAND. Global record sales, numerous
national and international tours, TV and radio shows helped ABACUS to become a top act, and not only in Germany. ABACUS
generated the same dense sound on stage as in the studio. Maybe
that's why they became a crowd-puller for many years and
countless shows. Musical differences about future record
productions caused, among other things, the break up of the
band in 1976. Klaus Kohlhase, bass guitarist and motor of
ABACUS, revived the band in 1979. He eventually found the
musicians who helped to refine ABACUS' sound.
