Wind's debut defines the 1971 German hard rock sound. These reviews can pretty much auto-write at this point. Heavy organ and guitar with gruff vocals leading long jams with shorter introspective interludes, including flute. Start lining them up: Zarathustra, Weed, Second Life, Haze, Dies Irae, Epitaph, Eloy, Virus, etc... All from the same year and country. It seemed Germany were filled with bands such as this from the top to the bottom. And that doesn't even get us to the progressive and cosmic bands journeying around. What an era!
Ownership: LP: 1971 +Plus+. Single sleeve. Acquired via trade with a well known German dealer (2018).
The CD on Second Battle was my introduction to the album (2010).
