Twilight - Day And Night (1975 germany, excellent kraut prog hard rock, 2000 release)



These music students from the city of Bonn made forays into various musical styles. Listening to tracks as diverse as the title track, which is a psychedelic masterpiece in the Pink Floyd vein, the heavy "Rock ’n’ roll chillun", the blues "Stranger in your town" or the slightly shallow "Last night in Verona" you realize they really know their job. The tracks were recorded in 1975 in the posh London Decibel studios and planned for release on LP but nothing came of it. Twilight’s only releases were two singles on New Blood. The label’s documents, which had been acquired by a collector, were the starting point for tracking down the band as well as the master tape, which they have carefully kept safe until the late 90's, and in 2000 it was officially released on cd. Αfter leaving Twilight, guitarist and singer Volkmar Kramarz joined Arktis and later took over a WDR radio programme.
