EMBRYO - Wiesbaden 1972 (1972-2008) WV (image+.cue), lossless
On December 17th, 1972, Embryo and Aus dem Nichts played in the Wartburg, a Wiesbaden hall. It was one of the gigs that were recorded by Xhol (Caravan) acquaintance Muck Krieger. His recording equipment was then state-of-the-art: an Uher tape recorder CR 124 and two Revox microphones for the spatial acoustics. The result is accordingly well, which you can hear for yourselves now. Hansi Fischer, previously member of Xhol (Caravan) and Embryo, joined the band for the last track. Of his group at that time, Aus dem Nichts, one track from this gig has also been conserved and has been added to the CD as a bonus track. Its artistic style resembles that of the Embryo tracks: rather freely played progressive jazz-rock with world-music elements. The meagre singing is somehow hidden behind the instrumental sound. GOD

EMBRYO - Umsonst Und Draußen (1977-2017) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
From 1975 until 1978, Embryo played at the Vlotho ”Umsonst und draußen” festival every year. Their concert from July 1977 on the sports ground, figuring as festival site, in front of about 26,000 people was recorded professionally by Ulrich Wilkening, operating the soundboard. The recording has been preserved till this day. In fact unreleased, except for the track, ”Getalongwithasong”, which appeared on the double LP ”Umsonst und draußen – Vlotho 77” back then, and later as well on the 4CD box “Aufbrüche”. Here is now the whole Embryo gig of that festival, in the well-known Embryo style: jazz-rock influenced by world music. The sound is excellent, as is to be expected from an expert. If there will be an LP edition isn’t certain as yet. GOD

EMBRYO ft. JIMMY JACKSON - Steig Aus (1972-1998) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
Steig Aus marks a turning point for Embryo. Recorded in 1971-1972,
during three separate sessions that also gave birth to Rocksession, the
album captures the group actively looking for the ethnic fusion that
will soon become its main m.o. for the better part of the decade. It
also signals the beginning of the group's distancing from the record
industry -- both albums were rejected by their major label, which led to
a transaction with the forward-looking small label Brain. Steig Aus
features extremely inspired jazz-rock jams, which makes it a lot less
friendly than their 1974 hit record, a lot jazzier too, but still a
breathtaking journey into Krautrock-meets-American free jazz-meets-North
African percussion. The first session yielded the side-long "Call," a
loosely structured suite, and "Dreaming Girls," a Miles Davis-like
ballad. Both tracks feature drummer Christian Burchard, bassist Jörg
Evers, violinist Edgar Hoffmann, U.S. organist Jimmy Jackson, and
American jazz keyboardist Mal Waldron. The latter, who had previously
played with Eric Dolphy and Max Roach, among other luminaries, was
called in as a guest. "Radio Marrakesch/Orient Express," which ended up
opening the album, was recorded a while later, when the group reconvened
in the studio, minus Hoffmann and Evers (the latter being replaced by
Dave King). The track is already opening a window on Middle Eastern
influences, with extra ethnic touches (particularly in the percussion
department) added a few months later, when the group came back from a
trip to North Africa. Steig Aus is a pretty unique cross between German
psychedelic rock and American electric jazz. It is probably not the best
place to start exploring Embryo's discography, but it deserves special
attention nonetheless. François Couture

EMBRYO - We Keep On (1972-1999) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
We Keep On is the German art/jazz rock band Embryo's most successful
recording. It's also one of their best. In late 1972, saxophonist
Charlie Mariano joined Embryo along with guitarist Roman Bunka.
Mariano's already encyclopedic knowledge of world music forms was a
welcome addition to the band; they sought to fuse jazz and space rock --
à la their countrymen Can -- with the various rhythms and harmonic
sensibilities of folk musics across the globe. Bunka also played the
Turkish saz and was a great, if unconventional, vocalist. Embryo's
leader, Christian Burchard, took up everything from drums to marimba to
Mellotron on this set to complement pianist Dieter Miekautsch's Rhodes
and clavinet work. And Mariano played not only sax and flute but
nagasuram and bamboo flutes as well. Here, on "Ehna, Ehna, Abu Lele,"
West African rhythms danced with jazz rock and wove something entirely
new from the roots of both. On "Hackbrett-Dance," saz, marimba, and
percussion became something out of time and space that might have come
from any North African nation, but found a place in the tripped-out
world of psychedelic space music as well -- check the recordings of
Angus MacLise for a frame of reference here. But it is on the
Miles-influenced jazz-funk of "No Place to Go," which used the Jack
Johnson groove to achieve new rock ecstasies, that the album really
comes into view for its revolutionary contribution to the language of
assimilation. The CD version also contains two welcome bonus tracks from
the session, a nearly 16-minute "Ticket to India" and an
eight-and-a-half-minute extended improv called "Flute, Saz and Marimba"
that could have come from one of Don Cherry's early-'70s recordings.
Highly recommended. Thom Jurek

EMBRYO - Rocksession (1973-1998) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
Progressive rock provides the framework but jazz-rock gives the flavor
to this powerfully seductive album-length workout, four extended numbers
(on which the vocals who are present are buried so far down in the mix
that these are essentially instrumentals) that surge forth with
saxophone solos and keyboard runs to rival the best-known English and
U.S. prog rock bands -- and Christian Burchard's myriad percussion
sounds (outdoing even his keyboard timbres at times) are in a class of
their own. The difference between Embryo and their English-speaking
rivals is that Embryo are content to take their time, even compared with
acts such as King Crimson, getting where they're going, and don't mind
going in long, extended detours into the funkier side of jazz.
"Entrances" -- which, despite its title, is the second track on the
album -- is worth the price of admission by itself for its seeming
digressions, which all pull together around Jorg Evers' amazing bass
work. And the rest of the record is no letdown, even after the
quarter-hour of soaring excursions on that number. It all should have
been more widely heard outside of Germany and Central Europe. Bruce Eder

Reise is an audio documentary of Embryo's end of the '70s "Journey" through the Middle East, a musical diary of their various experiences with master musicians and street players alike, from Bombay to the docks of Calcutta and beyond. No clinical exercise in musicology or studio session, it lives and breathes with the sounds and smells of music created from the creative flow of life in progress. Ethnic instruments, jazz, rock and chants combine to create a vibrant tapestry of sound on this magnificent double album. Archie Patterson

EMBRYO - La Blama Sparozzi (1982-1999) 2CD | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
This sprawling double album is the last Embryo title to feature the
great guitarist Roman Bunka. Here, as on many of the band's other
recordings, the basis sextet led by Christian Burchard is augmented by
dozens of other musicians to varying effect. For starters, Embryo's live
recordings are always their best. That is testified to here, as well,
since the album was recorded in studios all over Europe, and features a
live performance from Munich. It's the sprawl that testifies
simultaneously to this album's greatest strength and weakness. While
Embryo's musical restlessness counts for great improvised music,
particularly in concert settings, the band's studio offerings sometimes
lack focus, and that is certainly the case here. There are few long
pieces on these two CDs, with 22 tracks in all. Taken as a whole, it
would be unfair to say that these are Embryo's "pop" recordings; it is
not inaccurate to say that they are consciously more accessible than on
any of their other outings. This band has never aspired to relevance in
terms of pop culture, before or after these sessions. The vocal tracks
here fall flat and are uninspiring, while the music itself is brilliant
and often visionary. This is a mixed bag to be sure, but a far from
uninteresting one. Thom Jurek
