Silberbart - 4 Times Sound Razing (1971 germany, solid heavy prog underground power acid drenched, 2012 remaster)



Silberbart was an underground heavy progressive power trio from Hamburg. The album contained just four songs: 'Chub Chub Cherry' (a short heavy rock song like a freaky Cream), 'Brain Brain' (16 minutes of acid nightmares, continuously shifting tempo in amphetamine-driven mayhem), 'God' (a much more melodic attempt with powerful guitar arrangement, sounding like Black Sabbath meet Hendrix with a collective paranoia) and 'Head Tear Of The Drunken Sun' (finished at all with 12 minutes of hazardous power trio pyrotechnics). 

This is an extreme album in many ways: the raw power, the cranky vocals, the restless arrangements, not forgetting the ugly silver gnome on the front sleeve. For the first time the history of Silberbart is told by band leader Hajo Teschner and there are many rare photos of the group.

  2. Long Hair releases usually sound good but this one muddies all the gloriously bombastic high end details by upping the bass levels. Maybe because the record company released the group's demo session as their album, the masters don't tolerate low end enhancement very well. The 2002 Progressive Line 24 kt. remaster is superior in sound quality, and I would recommend seeking it out although it lacks the booklet, group photos and info found here.
