ARKTIS - Last Arktis Tapes (1973-2006) APE (image+.cue), lossless

 In their days, Arktis from Bonn released three LPs: “Arktis” in 1974, “Arktis tapes” in 1975, and “On the rocks” in 1976. The tapes from which the tracks for “Arktis tapes” had been taken do still exist and hold still more good material, part of which can be heard on the 1999 CD “More Arktis tapes” and now on “Last Arktis tapes”. The latter includes two additional live tracks played in the Beethoven Hall on May 30th, 1975, within the event “1. Bonner Songwerkstatt” (“1st Bonn Song Workshop”). Four of the eleven CD tracks are sung by Karin Töppig, the other ones are instrumental pieces. They are partly free improvisations, and all of them are profiting by the flourished electric guitar, played by Klaus Blachut. The musical range covers various styles, from the hot “Speed boogie” to the 18-minute “Very progressive”, in which the title is self-explanatory. GOD
