German Oak's "Down In The Bunker" was literally recorded in a | | bunker, and is a looming, dark, psychedelic prog/kraut rock album | | which got matched up to WWII imagery and references without the | | band's input. | | | | In this definitive Reserve edition of the album, the German Oak trio | | (together again after 30 years apart) have approved the remastering | | of their 70s music; finally tell the story behind the creation of | | their dark, brooding album - and the occult-obsessed record collector | | behind the original album's release and its myth - and they share | | previously unreleased music and photos. | | | | Personnel: | | Harry Kallweit, Rolf Mors - bass guitar | | Ulrich Kallweit - drums | | Wolfgang Franz Czaika - lead guitar | | Manfred Uhr - organ | | Norbert Luckas - rhythm guitar | | | | All compositions written by German Oak. Original album session for | | German Oak produced by German Oak, and produced for issue by Manfred | | "Warlock" Uhr. All other sessions produced by German Oak. | | | | Producer's note: | | At the band's request, the Nazi speeches included on Manfred Uhr's | | Witch and Warlock German Oak CDs have been removed, and, at [Wolfgang | | Franz] Czaika's request, the songs have been retitled... Czaika and | | the band didn't choose the titles given to their songs when Uhr | | initially released them... On this anthology, the two long songs from | | the original German Oak album have been pitch corrected to play at | | the speed that the band recorded them; Manfred Uhr sped them up for | | the album's initial release. | | | | The four tracks from the original German Oak album have been restored | | from vinyl. The remaining tracks were taken from cassette, and have | | been treated with similar reverb and compression to those Manfred Uhr | | used for the original album's issue. | | | | Restored and remastered by Dave Cooley @ Elysian Masters (Los | | Angeles, CA, US). | | | | Compilation produced by Eothen "Egon" Alapatt. | | Associate production by Stephan Szillus and Mark Taylor. | | Licensed courtesy German Oak. | | | | German Oak album originally issued as Bunker Records BU-1 72, | | circa 1972. | | "Missile Song (Extended)", "Belle's Song (Extended)" and "Happy | | Stripes (On Cats)", "Bear Song (Alternate)" previously unreleased. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | shout outs to the realest in the game: | | FTD - NOiR - GCP - SO - C4 - CR - m00f - hbZ - FrB | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2018-=----------------------/__\--'
