Anima Sound - Sturmischer Himmel (1971 OHR LABEL, GERMANY, NWW LIST)



The 'Anima' sound was extreme for sure: a very spontaneous music, close to extreme free jazz, but lacking the academic approach of this genre. Paul And Limpe Fuchs' (aka Anima Sound) music was more primitive in a way, full of screams, goons, weird sounds and much percussion. For this reason Sturmischer Himmel isn't exactly everybody's taste! This was one of the few Ohr albums to have a standard (non fold-out) cover. Their very rare second album contained two further improvised cuts. The duo was later joined by Friedrich Gulda and J.A. Rettenbacher for the group Anima, to record an album for Pilz in 1972.
Personnel:
PAUL FUCHS horns
LIMPE FUCHS perc
ALBUMS :
"Sturmischer Himmel" (Ohr OMM 56 011) 1971
"Rock In Deutsch" (Melocord ST-LP-NB 0.027) 1972
INCLUDED IN THE LEGENDARY NWW LIST! A GEM!

Very freaked and great, and thankfully (to me at least) not the complete atonal free jazz I thought it might be. I actually found myself grooving to it in places. More Anima!
