SWARA SAMRAT-LOTTERY OF MEMORIES, LP, 1979, GERMANY

Damn fine and hideously rare Krautrockin' action originally privately issued by the band for their circle of friends in an edition of 85 and finally reissued by Coloured Rain (who've also issued Messr. Samrat's latter day releases) in an edition of 222 copies. I hear overtones of Gunter Schickert, Tyll's Sexphonie album and even a bit of Uli Trepte's material from the Hot On Spot/In Between split with Guru Guru. Heady company to be sure and this does fall short of some of the lofty peaks hit by those those three high water marks of the Kraut-o-sphere, but Swara's still thrown a big floppy velvet hat into the maw of the stoned immaculate with this one regardless.
