Kraan
 
Front

Deutcher Rundfunk-Museum: Vom Kopf Zum Hörer
2 LP's - 1 Kraan tune, or rather: A part of 'Holiday am Marterhorn'.
This recording is not released anywhere else.
Recording date Sep, 2nd 1975

Released on:
Teldec
Look here

Recorded with 2 microphones mounted on an artificial head. Should be heard with headphones for best result. Very live'ish.
Starts with a few minutes bass solo fading in , Hellmut also uses a wah wah pedal on his bass, then comes the end of Holiday am Marterhorn.

There are strong indications that the tune consist of 2 recordings badly merged. An eventual story behind this is not known, but
the last seconds in this recording, where the band comes together to play the Holiday theme after HH's solo, are not from the same recording, as claimed by the publishers, but from a Westdeutscher-Rundfunk-Kunstkopf-Recording from 1974, the series was called "Nachtmusik im WDR" . Look here: http://www.molvaer.de/kraanboots2.htm#kraan1970er - 1974, Lost Holiday am Marterhorn" Look at the backside of the cover: http://www.molvaer.de/kraancover/kraan_1974-00-00_wdr_back.jpg

Download here
(rightclick & save): Holiday_Kunstkopf.mp3 - 6 mb, 128 kbps. Starts up kind of silently.
Should defintetely be listened to with good headphones.

But remember if you want to hear real Kraan, this is not representative, its a curiosity.

BACKGROUND:

"Die Schallplatte "Vom Kopf zum Hörer", aufgenommen in kopfbezogener Stereophonie, dürfte inzwischen eine Rarität sein... Sie wurde von uns zur Funkausstellung 1975 in einer limitierten Auflage von vier- oder
fünftausend Stück herausgegeben und war damals nur im Museum unter dem Berliner Funkturm erhältlich. "

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
The LP "Vom Kopf zum Hörer", recorded in 'Kunstkopf'-stereophony, should be a rarity meanwhile .... we'd published this record on the occasion of the international broadcasting fair (IFA Berlin) 1975 in a limited edition of 4.000 or 5.000 copies and it was availible only in our museum nearby the Berliner "Funkturm".

  Super Rock Festival

Super-Rock-Festival - 1977

A sampler album with 3 alternative Kraan mixes of 3 wellknown tunes - mixed in "3-D" .

Info on the back of the cover states that the tunes have been remixed - quote:
"in the first specially designed studio for 3-D-Stereo technique. Compared with conventional stereo records it offers a more natural ´surround´ sound experience, greater sound intensity and better stereo transparency. Reproduction through headphones gives that well-known threedimensional artificial head effect".

Webmaster: It's the same recordings used for 'Let it out' but remixed for headphones, and on the tune 'let it out' they also use the track where Peter sings along with his guitarsolo, which they didn't on 'Let it out' (neither German or USA version).

Let it out 6:12
Bandits in the woods 4:20
Degado 4:54
Should defintetely be listened to with good headphones.

Besides the odd mix, the biggest difference is Peter Wolbrandt scat-singing on most of his guitar solo in Let it out !

Hellmut flashbacks when 3. degree-interrogated:
"aaaah, yes i remember, Peter and myself remixed it in the only kunstkopf studio in Wilster 1977 or so (I knitted a scarve for my little son Max, because the mixing took days and days and days. A studio full of technical secrets, but quite boring for us...)
I don't own the recordings - almost forgot about them."

    On 'Mind Movie' are two tunes from Kraan Live 88, Dinner for three(= Dinner for two Also found on DeWinkelHattler:Humanimal talk), Kunst House (= Kunststück). There is a certain Kraan-feel to the music on this album.
    On the second album 'Space Case' is one tune from DeWinkelHattler : Humanimal talk - Lieblingslied.
    On 'Between Us' 1999 (tune: GetThere II ) there is a loan from Heartware's Jungle.

    On their latest ...zzzip ! (Live) 2000 (2 CD) , is a technically very impressive version of 'Kunststück' and a great and interesting version of 'Kraan arabia' !

    The official Tab two website was edited by Hellmut's son Max Hattler and a version of it can be found here http://reheller.de/tabtwo/.
