An enthusiastic, optimistic symphonic album, full of fantasies and humor. A difficult, complex album. In a minor way this is a classic.

Description
[Machine Translation] The band was formed in 1970 with Erock (dr.), who is currently active as a producer/engineer, at the center, and broke up in the late 80's, but was revived in the late 2000's. The band represents the German symphonic rock of the 70's ( Globuschnitt ). This is the first time in the world that the band's six albums from 1979 to 2022 have been remastered and reissued on paper-jacketed CD. This is a conceptual album released in 1975 with the theme of "traveling around the world". The album features a variety of songs and sounds with the unique humor and theatricality established in the previous album, as well as a fast-paced ensemble/arrangement. The album is a colorful and dramatic presentation of the world of the concept that appears on the cover, with the addition of symphonic colors that have been further developed in the works after this album. Four live recordings from '77/'81 and another version of "Snowflakes" are included as bonuses. This is the world's first paper-jacketed CD release that recreates the original recordings as much as possible, and will be digitally remastered in 2022.

This third album was originally released in 1975 on the green Brain label. I happen to own the later orange label pressing on LP. This LP really deserves to be sought after by audiophiles because it's by far the best sounding LP I own, the sound quality just blew me away! And there are no advertisements of it being an audiophile recording of any kind, just leading me to believe this is just an ordinary LP (but with unusually great sound quality). Enough on that, let's get with the music. At this point, GROBSCHNITT has turned in to a full-blown symphonic prog rock band. The influences of YES, GENESIS, and even CAMEL are present, with extended compositions, such as "The Excursion of Father Smith". Eroc's twisted humor pops in from time to time. Wildschwein (Stefan Danielak) has one of the more peculiar voices in prog rock, so if his singing turns you off, you might want to avoid their albums. I also have a problem with some of this album, as parts of it are unbearably cheesy. I can see why this album is a bit overlooked compared to the likes of "Rockpommel's Land" or "Solar Music Live". But the album is still worth owning, and if you're in to GROBSCHNITT, this album would be in your collection anyways.
this was the third album released by GROBSCHNITT in 1975, as with the others great mini lp replication as well as an amazing sounding cd with fantastic remastering, the sleeve is replicated down to perfection as per the original brain records 1975 german release.. also we get some great LIVE bonus tracks on this edition...
