"The Crack In The Cosmic Egg"
Онлайн-версия Энциклопедии краут-рока (см. изображение обложки книги), которая, как сообщают авторы, в три раза меньше издания на бумажной основе. "The Crack In The Cosmic Egg" включает информацию о группах и отдельных исполнителях за 1967-1980 гг. В качестве примера решили посмотреть, что, например, написано в энциклопедии, про группу Tetragon;
Tetragon
An obscure band, Tetragon originated from Osnabrück in Northern Germany from the Brian Auger inspired Blues Limited. Later, after discovering The Nice, they changed their style and became the organ fronted trio Trikolon, and upon becoming a quartet they changed name to Tetragon! After having toured with their Dutch heroes Ekseption, it's not surprising that Tetragon moved to an ever-more complex classical rock with extensive use of rearranged Bach and other classical themes. The deliberate accent on their blues and psychedelic roots, guaranteed a unique twist on the genre, though on their sole album NATURE one can detect much The Nice, Egg and Dutch progressive stylisms. An unknown classic.
Hendrik Schaper (organ, clavinet, cembalo, piano, vocals), Jürgen Jaehner (guitars), Rolf Rettberg (bass), Joachim Luhrmann (drums)
