The Cocoon ‎– Stretching Things (1992)

"Psychedelic-Rock & Jazz-Fusion" - ein blödes Etikett, aber es ist schwer, den Stil dieser Platte zu beschreiben. Vielleicht einfach die beteiligten Musiker erwähnen? Jazzlegende Gunther Hampel an Vibraphon, Keyboards und Blasinstrumenten, Gitarrist und Toningenieur Matthias Arfmann (Kastrierte Philosophen), Sänger/Gitarrist Jürgen Gleue von den legendären "39 Clocks" und Schlagzeuger Rüdiger Klose (Kastrierte Philosophen und auch Mitwirkender bei den 39 Clocks). Eine starke und unvergleichliche Platte!
