Skyline – Louise For One Night(1976 Germany Jazz, Rock,Prog Rock)Full Album

Skyline, from the Bielefeld area in Westphalia, is essentially the direct successor to Virus. In the spring of 1975, a missing Fender amplifier led to a heated argument among the band members, ultimately resulting in Virus's breakup. Following the falling out, bassist and singer Werner Vogt, saxophonist Jürgen Dose, and guitarist Reinhard Iffländer had left the group. Jürgen Kochbeck remained on keyboards and vocals, later using the name George(e) Kochbeck (Jürgen being the Low German form of Georg), Jürgen Schäfer on bass and vocals, and Michael Stickdorn on drums. Reinhard Glowazke and Udo Lummer took over on guitars, and Helmut Sprick played bass. The band's repertoire was now entirely based on compositions by Jürgen Kochbeck, who had already contributed the lion's share of Virus's material during the latter phase. It wasn't long before the name Skyline acquired its own distinct character. Remaining were Jürgen Kochbeck on keyboards and vocals (he later went by the name George(e) Kochbeck, a Low German form of Georg), Jürgen Schäfer on bass and vocals, and Michael Stickdorn on drums. Meanwhile, Helmut Sprick was soon replaced on bass by returning bassist Werner Vogt, who, practically from the start, participated in the recording of the band's first and only studio LP, "Louise for one night." The band played jazz-rock with slight funk influences, which had little in common with Virus's music. Tracks: 01. Louise For One Night (Jürgen Kochbeck/Werner Vogt) - 00:00 02.
