Didier - Cptn. Coffee. 1981 Germany


Here's another old CDRWL entry that Midwest Mike turned me onto. Even though it was already affixed with a high rating, I had a +1 listen with the LP last night.

Didier's sole album is an incredibly obscure jazz rock release. Similar to Moira's Reise Nacht Ixtlan*, Cptn. Coffee sounds like something from another era - primarily 1973-74. Psychedelic fuzz guitar, driving bass, echoed German narration, atmospheric piano, and tricky meters with sax breaks ala Soft Machine. This is an exceptional album for its vintage.

* - I've just learned that both albums were both recorded in the same studio in the same year!
