Great concert recording (2005) of the legendary (fusion) rock formation KRAAN feat. HATTLER, WOLBRANDT, BISCHOF & FRIDE from the Finkenbach Festival. The live album will be released in a limited digipack (1000 copies worldwide) on 36MUSIC.

The formation KRAAN, founded in Ulm in 1970, whose musical credits include timeless album classics such as 'Andy Nogger', 'Let It Out' or 'Flyday', is still one of the pioneering representatives of the cross-border (fusion) rock genre. With their innovative mix of rock and jazz, enriched with psychedelic, world and funk elements, they have been delighting their fans both live and in the studio ever since. A concert recording of their acclaimed live performance at the legendary Finkenbach Festival from 2005 has now been released. and originally only available as a limited bonus DVD of their studio album 'Psychedelic Man' (2007) - the fantastically well-rehearsed formation presented inspired versions of band classics such as 'Vollgas Ahoi', 'Yaqui Yagua', 'Hallo Ja Ja, I Don 't Know', 'Borgward', 'Nam Nam' (in an almost 18-minute version) and 'Kraan Arabia' (with a guest appearance by GURU-GURU legend MANI NEUMEIER). With 'Jerk Of Life' and 'Unser Lied', this live album, available for the first time in audio format, also offers two exclusive bonus tracks. The compositions, which are always transparently staged, draw their special fascination from the unmistakable interplay of atmospherically weightless jazz harmonies and melodically gripping rock themes, which is typical for the band. The mostly instrumental songs, which sound wonderfully fresh, relaxed and at the same time electrifying, leave enough room for spontaneity and inspired improvisational interactions of the musicians, who are usually enthusiastic about playing. This performance also documents one of KRAAN's last performances with keyboarder INGO BISCHOF, who died in January 2019.
