Band & Album Info 

Mind-boggling , earth shattering , acid-soaked metaphysical journey through time and space. Krautrock HOLY GRAIL album that has achieved legendary status with original copies going for thousands of dollars. This is no joke. The one and only top knotch reissue on the highly esteemed Second Battle label with only 750 copies produced. All around fantastic reissue with a thick, high-quality gatefold and thick AMAZING SOUNDING vinyl. All around 5 star release, hands down. I luckily have 2 copies or I would never let go of this bad boy. Very hard to find (all the collectors snatched them up quick and aren't letting them go)

One of the early Kraut Rock bands, My Solid Ground were found in Ruesselsheim, originally with Bernhard Rendel on guitar, Teddy on voice, Manfred Fischer on bass and Willy Waid on drums.With a rising repertoire they were quite well-known around the Rhine-Main area and in 1970 new bassist Werner Geilenkirchen joins the band along with Ingo Werner on keyboards.Shortly after the band receives a contract from Bacillus and welcomes new drummer Andreas Wuersching.Recorded at Dierks Studios in Cologne in Febraury-April 1971, the self-titled debut of the quartet, with Rendel singing as well, was released in the autumn of the same year.

If you ask me, the ground was already solid in Germany for experimental releases with bands like AMON DUUL and XHOL CARAVAN having already spread the seeds.In the vein of the masters goes the long opening ''Dirty yellow mist'', a superb psychedelic experience with frightening, distorted vocals, marching bass and drums over a hypnotic guitar rhythm and the Hammond organ of Werner producing cosmic soundscapes.Some discreet piano lines and the haunting female choirs complete an excellent piece of Kraut Rock music.The rest of the album follows a quite unsimilar path.Another seven very short but frenetic tracks with dual guitars and screaming vocals show My Solid Ground move on a Hard Rock, almost Proto-Metal path, full of scratching riffs and influences from a more sharp JIMI HENDRIX.Of course there are a couple of exceptions, like the smooth and more romantic ''Melancholie'' with the narcotic piano of Werner in evidence and the mellow acoustic guitars of Rendel or the grandiose ''The executioner'', another very dark piece of music with bizarre narrations, bombastic organs and powerful bass and guitars.

The album has seen a handful of reissues over the years with those of Second Battle being he absolute best, containing the original recordings intended to be send to Bacillus
Definitely a holy grail classic album of the early Kraut Rock scene.  Strongly STRONGLY recommended from one record collector to another. Get this GEM before it's gone! No others are being offered online. Now's your chance!  

Peace & Love
