Xhol Caravan (or Xhol)

Xhol Caravan (or simply Xhol) was one of the first bands who participated at the send of the 60s to the launch of the Krautrock movement in Germany. Nevertheless their music cannot be categorised. Their roots came from rhythm’n blues with soul tendencies.Very dynamic their jazz rock can sometimes be compared with the spirit of the psychedelic soul developed by Soft Machine and sometimes it remembers to me some Zappa's sounds. However the unusual use of electric instruments and electronic manipulations made Xhol absolutely unique. Yesterday I had time so today I can present their first live album entitled Altena 1969, of course issued in 1969, with this line-up: Skip van Wyck / drums; - Tim Belbe / saxophone; - Hansi Fischer / saxophone, flute; - Klaus Briest / bass; - Öcki / keyboards.
