Xhol Caravan

Crazy, not very serious, jazzy, psychedelic, mildly original. These are all attributes that come to mind when listening to Xhol Caravan’s Electrip (issued in 1969). And quite a trip it is. A trip to the minds of the musicians in this German krautrock band. The sax and keyboards play in a free jazz like way and sometimes ascend into madness with some weird, insane bits. The drums with their messy, dirty sound, complete the 60’s psychedelic sound of this album. This album mixes between the psychedelic traits of several late 60’s bands with the jazz-rock qualities of other bands. The result is an interesting sounding album, which has sometimes difficulties in deciding which way to go. Here the musicians were: Skip van Wyck / drums; - Tim Belbe / saxophone; - Hansi Fischer / saxophone, flute; - Klaus Briest / bass; - Öcki / keyboards.
