Some of the cream of cosmic ░▐ ▌░ Krautrock backed him up on his one album, Tarot, which is ░▐ ▌░ generally considered a masterpiece. This Swiss Gypsy was ░▐ ▌░ well-known in the late '60s, where he hung out with Sergius ░▐ ▌░ Golowin and visual artist H.R. Giger, and in the early '70s, ░▐ ▌░ with Timothy Leary, on the run from the American authorities. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ At this time, Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, rock journalist and head of ░▐ ▌░ Ohr Records, decided to start a new label, Kosmische Musik, ░▐ ▌░ to release more cosmic sounds, with the idea of having ░▐ ▌░ various visionaries on vocals, which soon lead him to ░▐ ▌░ Switzerland. After recording the first of these albums, Seven ░▐ ▌░ Up, which paired Ash Ra Tempel with Leary in the autumn of ░▐ ▌░ 1972, work began on the second and third records, by Golowin ░▐ ▌░ and Wegmⁿller. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ By then, Kaiser had gathered a stable of musicians, which ░▐ ▌░ included Ash Ra Tempel and Wallenstein, to work on these ░▐ ▌░ various projects as the Cosmic Couriers. As Wegmⁿller had ░▐ ▌░ been working on a set of handmade Tarot cards for several ░▐ ▌░ years since 1968, he decided to do an album based on the ░▐ ▌░ Tarot deck at the suggestion of Leary. The project started in ░▐ ▌░ Switzerland in late 1972, again with Ash Ra Tempel as backing ░▐ ▌░ musicians, when Wegmⁿller suddenly decided there should be a ░▐ ▌░ track for each of the 22 cards of the major arcana. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Kaiser, becoming more impressed with the project, flew ░▐ ▌░ Wegmⁿller and Ash Ra Tempel to Germany, to add more musicians ░▐ ▌░ into the stew. The band Wallenstein, with keyboardist Klaus ░▐ ▌░ Schulze, had just finished the Golowin project, so they ░▐ ▌░ joined Manuel G÷ttsching and Hartmut Enke of Ash Ra Tempel, ░▐ ▌░ as well as Walter Westrupp from the duo Witthⁿser-Wδstrupp, ░▐ ▌░ for the Tarot lineup to create a cosmic Krautrock supergroup. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ The Tarot sessions were recorded in December of 1972 in ░▐ ▌░ Dieter Dierks' studios in Stommeln, near Cologne. During one ░▐ ▌░ of the sessions, G÷ttsching, Enke, and Schulze were waiting ░▐ ▌░ for the other musicians to arrive, and decided to record an ░▐ ▌░ album. Schulze had left Ash Ra Tempel in early 1971, after ░▐ ▌░ their first album, so the record, Join Inn, found that band ░▐ ▌░ with their original lineup, with the addition of some spoken ░▐ ▌░ vocals from G÷ttsching's girlfriend, Rosi Muller, who also ░▐ ▌░ provided backup vocals on Tarot. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ As for Tarot itself, it was released in early 1973, a double ░▐ ▌░ album in an elaborate box that included the tarot deck ░▐ ▌░ Wegmⁿller had painted. As on the similar album by Golowin, ░▐ ▌░ Wegmⁿller talks rather than sings on Tarot, and there are ░▐ ▌░ many lengthy instrumental sections as well, though on a much ░▐ ▌░ grander scale. Wegmⁿller went back to Switzerland and Kaiser ░▐ ▌░ soon embroiled most of the musicians from Tarot in a new ░▐ ▌░ group called the Cosmic Jokers, but that's an entirely ░▐ ▌░ different story. Wegmⁿller, meanwhile, eventually wrote a ░▐ ▌░ book, Neu-Zeit Tarot (New Age Tarot) that was published in ░▐ ▌░ 1982 by AGM Agmuller Press. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post rock ░▐ ▌░ kraut . post punk . darkwave . alternative . lo-fi ░▐ ▌░ country . americana . folk . folk/rock . psychedelic rock ░▐ ▌░ progressive rock . metal . heavy metal . hair metal ░▐ ▌░ hard rock . math rock . grunge . classic rock . aor ░▐ ▌░ southern rock . west coast . punk rock . hardcore . garage ░▐ ▌░ avantgarde . classical . electronic . new wave . ambient ░▐ ▌░ synthpop . leftfield ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://www.deezer.com/us/album/62248912
