An ethno-krautrock supersession on LP, at times hinting at late '60s west-coast vibes. Sun Temple Circus features members of a.o. Electric Family, Dissidenten, MojoClub. Four long tracks, hand- numbered edition of 500 copies!
In the beginning of 2014 Harry Payuta (sitar, bass, guitar, vocals), Tom THE PERC Redecker (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Marlon Klein (drums, percussion) and Jochen Schoberth (guitars) founded the project SUN TEMPLE CIRCUS and immediately decided to go on tour. Payuta had played with Mojo Club, The Electric Family and Tav Falco, Redecker came from The Electric Family, works solo as The Perc and is founder and chief of wellknown record label Sireena Records. Marlon Klein is longtime drummer of the famous ethno formation Dissidenten and Schoberth works with his several projects in the gothic/artrock scene. In mid-May the Circus started in Bayreuth, the finals took place on 28 May 2014 at the Lagerhaus in Bremen. Screen projections by oil filter projectors and kaleidoscopes and lots of fog were the coherent optical complement to the almost entirely psychedelic tinged tracks and brought something like Fillmore mood in the halls. At the concert in Bremen, the band had guests on stage: The ex-Dry Halley keyboardist Andre Szigethy and ex Amnesia Vivace violinist Uli Bφsking met the band for a jam session. The concert was recorded, and it was clear for the musicians that it should not be a normal CD live recording, but a release on LP with the corresponding side lengths.
The record was mixed and mastered by Marlon Klein in Exil studio, Berlin.
With 180 grams of vinyl you hold a truly fascinating sound document in your hand. A colored journey through ethnic / kraut / folk / rock realm with enthusiastic and inspiring musicians of today who consciously winking squinting at the huge jam pioneers of US West Coast scene of end of the Sixties. Charming - and on vinyl . Limited to 500 copies, hand-numbered!
