Didier ~ Germany


Cptn. Coffee (1981)

---7/14/10

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.

Even though it was already affixed with a high rating, I had a +1 listen with the LP last night.

* - Both albums were recorded in the same studio in the same year!

Ownership: LP: 1981 KladielasMusik (LP). Acquired in 2022.

Not been reissued as of 10/17/22.

7/14/10 (review); 4/28/22 (update / new entry)
