Nur Noch Zwei Lichtjahre 40:19 Virus were a psychedelic band originating from Bielefeld in Northern Germany. Their music incorporates Pink Floyd's space rock, heavy keyboards somewhat reminiscent of Deep Purple all put together into long songs filled with jams. The Revelation album was recorded in Star Studios, Hamburg and produced by Konrad Plank. The Virus lineup for this album is: Werner Monka (guitar), Jorg-Dieter Krahe (organ), Bernd "Molle" Hohmann (vocals, flute), Reinhold Spiegelfeld (bass) and Wolfgang Rieke (drums). The opening track `Revelation" starts as a straight forward psychedelic track and develops as the song into the Rolling Stones song -- Paint It Black. Another homage is found in the second song where at the end you can hear a Saucerful Of Secrets choir bit. The album is inventive and contains surprises along the way. The songs have long guitar playing parts and exciting organ playing, both demonstrating very good musicianship. The band recorded another album with a different line up in 1971 but split after This video focuses on a rare vinyl record, identifying the original 1st rare pressing or the rarest version of the record, also the prices it sold for and features photos of labels and covers of the original record, subscribe to our channel if you love rare vinyl records #vinyl #collecting #records #rare
