Altona – Altona(1975 Germany Krautrock, Jazz-Rock, Prog Rock)Full Album

Founded in Altona (Hamburg), Germany in 1972 - Disbanded in 1975 Altona is a German band, founded in 1972 in Hamburg suburbs as reincarnation of krautrock band Thrice Mice. Dropping former band's classical edge in preference for a jazzier front on their debut ,Altona played a lively fusion that crossed many boundaries, but kept the Blodwyn Pig feel that dominated the early Thrice Mice recordings. Mixing excellent early jazz fusion with psychedelic rock elements album's music is a real gem. In contrast, their second album CHICKENFARM, disappointed as it saw a mellowing of style, to funky edged jazz-rock with blues and soul tendencies, and an indistinctive Anglo-American type brassy-rock sound. A few Altona members later reappeared in the obscure band Dirty Dogs. Songs / Tracks Listing 1. Can't Live Without You 00:00 2. Cocopus 04:21 3. Überlandfahrt 10:04 4. 7/4 14:13 5. Boulevard 18:34 6.
