Talix (Psychedelic Rock, Beat, Krautrock)

Talix ‎– Spuren (Vogue Schallplatten LDVS 17237) made in Germany 1971 original first pressing LP | vinyl: VG++ (excellent) | cover: NM (mint-) some great Fuzz-Guitar.

German psychedelic beat band, pre-Pinguin.
Talix is that rare breed, a German psych album. Not only that, but what was considered commercial suicide back in the day – they sung in German. Released just ahead of the more known experimental Krautrock movement, and right before the hard rock invasion. Talix are pre-Pinguin, but there’s little reference of that here except for the lingua franca (and the moody closing track which is a killer). The music is somewhere between thoughtful, almost progressive, songwriting and fun saxophone lead exploito dance numbers. The guitar is a constant highlight, fuzzed out to the maximum, reminding me of the guy from The Plastic Cloud. Overall for the style, better than the more known Bokaj Retsiem. Something a bit different from the norm.
