The second album called "Stalingrad" (in cyrillic letters) was recorded and released in 1977. in the mean time BACHDENKEL toured small venues through europe (mostly France). BACHDENKEL started as a Flower Power psychedelic rock band (Pink Floyd, Soft Machine, Beatles, Procol Harum), but developed towards a more symphonic/melodic progstyle for their second album. Their sound is dominated by guitar and drums, with great vocals and occasional keyboard passages.

The Free Text
The second and last album by this obscure UK progressive rock band who released albums in France,recorded in 1975 and saw the light in 1977. Another great work of "the best British unknown group."
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that the great potential of this band remained undiscovered until to the end. Even quite successful concert performances were, in fact, "playing in the second division." They had to settle for the role of 'support' live King Crimson or Genesis. In general - is another example of how a lack of decent management can bury a great band. This CD features ten bonus tracks some of which date from the bands recording sessions for Phillips. Fragile atmospheric and gentle progressive rock that can be compared with Barclay James Harvest.
