Alcatraz - Vampire State Building (1971) Remaster (2002) torrent

In the annals of Krautrock, Alcatraz's debut was one of the great unknown classics.
A sizzling hybrid of many influences all wrapped-up into a unique style of their own.
One part Faust (it is recorded at Wümme by Faust's engineer after all), one part Frumpy, Nosferatu, Out Of Focus, Xhol Caravan, and lots that is their own. There's also a jazz standard adaptation thrown-in (also heard adapted by Nucleus on their Elastic Rock album - so coincidental it's spooky), powerful white blues, and some of the strongest hooks and grooves you could ever wish for, plus tons of sizzling solos, great vocals, and more.
What's not to like? Or indeed be totally stunned by!
