io++081 - cocoon als sie noch verborgener nicht cocoon waren. etwa 1985 um hannover.

und noch mehr 39 clocks und verwandtes, verwundetes und
verwunderndes. zwei demo-aufnahmen von der band aus der dann kurz
danach cocoon wurde; zwei stücke, die tief in der spurensicherung
versteckt waren und euch nun näher ans herz gehen sollen. after
relapsing one too many splits of the 39 clocks jürgen gleue formed
or joined exit out and simultaneously teamed up with matthias
arfmann of kastrierte philosophen fame, free jazz legends gunter
hampel and thomas keyserling and the unfailing rüdiger klose to
perform and record first as "the trip", then later unknown as "the
great recordings" permutating into "cocoon", for some abominately
reasons ignored despite their two wonderful albums "while the
recording engineer sleeps" and the postumous "stretching things".
two tracks of these prae-cocoon bands survived and though they are
not all too significantly different to the versions released on the
wonderful album "while the recording engineer sleeps" (recorded in
1985, released in 1989), you can find them here: bad copy of second
generation of copied tape... the trip aka the great recordings aka
cocoon: gunter hampel (vibraphone, flutes, voices, clarinette,
etc), matthias arfmann (guitars, keyboards, voices), rüdiger klose
(precisest accurate drums), thomas keyserling (saxohones, flute)
and jürgen gleue aka JG39 (bass, guitars and voice). - teenage dope
slaves - you complain |>> the cocoon - zwei demos
