Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. Guru Guru have been an institution for over five decades. Despite countless line-up changes, and more than a half century since their formation, today Guru Guru are as alive and active as ever, playing around 40 live shows every year. Far from being tired or showing signs of mellowing with age, their live shows are still experiences where the band know how to surprise their audiences. Of course, Guru Guru's classic "Elektrolurch" is still a setlist staple, performed by Mani Neumeier in a newt costume. While 'Back To The Roots,' with it's rock/prog'n'roll sound, is self-explanatory, the band have added new musical elements to the song 'Guru Guru's In Da Haus,' experimenting with hiphop rhythms. The oblique 'Hold The Jelly' features the God Of Hellfire Arthur Brown as guest vocalist, with electro-dance influences. Guru Guru are still breaking boundaries, and are still very up to date, or even a bit ahead of their time. The album's opening song, "Free Krautrock!" says it all, because the band still stands for everything that experimenting with different styles has to offer.
