Our Take
Our Take
German Oak's "Down In The Bunker" is a mind-bending trip through a psychedelic wormhole of experimental rock. The album, originally recorded in the 1970s, has been unearthed and re-released for a new generation to enjoy. From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, you are transported to a dark, mysterious underground world where anything is possible.
The band's use of unconventional instruments, such as the sitar and Moog synthesizer, adds a unique and otherworldly element to their sound. Each track feels like a sonic journey, with swirling guitars and hypnotic rhythms that twist and turn with unpredictability. It's like taking a rollercoaster ride through a haunted house on acid.
The vocals, when present, are haunting and ethereal, adding to the overall sense of unease and mystery. Lyrics touch on themes of isolation, paranoia, and a longing for escape, perfectly complementing the haunting atmosphere of the music.
Overall, "Down In The Bunker" is a swirling, kaleidoscopic kaleidoscope of sound that demands to be listened to with an open mind and a willingness to let go of reality. German Oak may have been ahead of their time, but their music still resonates with a sense of timeless weirdness that will leave you questioning what is real and what is just a trick of the mind. Dive into the bunker, if you dare.

About the artist
German Oak
German Oak is the enigmatic musical brainchild of an unknown German artist who emerged from the depths of obscurity in the late 1970s. With a sound that can only be described as a psychedelic fusion of Krautrock, prog, and avant-garde jazz, German Oak is a true sonic anomaly. The band's self-titled debut album, released in 1972, is a sprawling masterpiece that defies categorization. It's as if they took the experimental krautrock of Can, the ethereal beauty of Popol Vuh, and the apocalyptic doom of Amon Düül II, threw them in a blender, and hit puree. The result is a mind-bending journey through space and time that will leave you questioning the very nature of reality. Despite their undeniable talent and groundbreaking sound, German Oak remains shrouded in mystery. Rumours swirl about the band members' identities, with some even suggesting that they may have been members of other, more well-known bands in disguise. One thing is for certain: German Oak is a musical force to be reckoned with, and their influence can be felt in everything from contemporary experimental rock to avant-garde jazz. So if you're in the mood for something truly out of this world, look no further than German Oak. Just make sure you're sitting down when you press play – you may find yourself transported to a place you never knew existed.
