Guru Guru - Mani Und Seine Freunde [CD]

Guru Guru - Mani und seine Freunde "Soloalbum" by Mani Neumeier with friends from well-known Krautrock bands such as Kraan, Harmonia, Karthago, Guru Guru, and Champion Jack Dupree. n keeping with the large number of musicians involved, "Mani and His Friends" is stylistically very diverse. It ranges from light-hearted, funky jazz rock à la Kraan - most of the pieces were written with the participation of Hattler and Wohlbrandt - to well-tempered ethno jazz rock and Mani's pun rock "Chicken Rock, " as celebrated on "Tango Fango" just under a year and a half later. The centerpiece of the album is the percussive long track "From Another World." After that, "1, 2, 3, 4, Marsch'n'Rock" lifts the mood enormously. The track transitions into a radio broadcast of Champion Jack Dupree's "Drink Wine, " thus forming the conclusion of a very successful album.
