Description

This rare album has been in my possession since it was produced and manufactured in 1977. My ex husband designed the label for the album but I was given this record at the time it was released. We both worked for Polydor before leaving to set up a graphic design company where we were approached to produce this label.

I don’t think I’ve ever played it so it is in mint condition. It still has the lyric sheet unsullied and with no marks or stains. It also has the sticker that was given away with the album. We had other copies which we played but not this one.

I have moved house a few times with all of my records boxed and unboxed over the years which is why I have described it as used. But I can vouch for the fact it is in mint condition.

BACHDENKEL - STALINGRAD – 1977 (UK) space rock

The very good lead singer has a tone right between Kansas' and Neal Morse. The miscellaneous electric guitar arrangements are very original: the comparison with Steve Hillage is often quite valuable: Hillage however sounds more spacy and extravagant. The keyboards are rarely used: indeed the guitar-driven tracks do not justify the presence of organ and piano: they are rather used in a few specific tracks. Compared to their previous Lemmings album, here they are more elaborated, sructured and less psychedelic. There are many parts that have an excellent complex punk tendency: I even find some Neu! similarities, regarding some of the drums and electric guitar sounds, especially on the "Stalingrad" track. Obviously, they are 100 times better than Neu!, since their compositions remain very respectable and structured. The album globally is moderately progressive, psychedelic and it never falls into a deja vu rock/hard rock style. (progarchives.com)
