Floh de Cologne

The last album of Floh de Cologne that I have got in my discography is this Mumien, issued in 1974, with such line-up: Hansi Frank / drums, vocal; - Dieter Klemm / percussion, organ, vocals, - Dick Städtler / lead guitar, vocals; - Theo König / saxes; - Gerd Wollschon / vocals, percussion. This very talkative record is their reaction, as they felt very concerned as many 2nd WW Nazi criminals had escaped to South America and Chili being one of their “preferred” final destinations. Pinochet’s clique and their outfit left little doubt as to the extreme right inspirations either and FDC’s artwork for this album leaves very little doubt as to their opinions, rightly shared by most everyone on the planet’ except for a few “blind” malevolent secret services. Musically this is not much different than their previous effort, the music behind the message being indisputably progressive rock, even sounding like Genesis’ type of symphonic prog, including harpsichord and Hackettian guitar lines. Of course, the music is much hidden/buried by the up-front vocals, but still quite enjoyable if you don’t mind the German singing and constant allusions to Allende and the evil Pinochet.
