Always essentially the project of the Drogies brothers, Thirsty Moon came into being in September 1971 as the amalgamation of D.R.P. (Drogies Rock Project) and Shakespears (apparently a jazz-soul band), resulting in a very big group (seven to eight members) performing complex rock that used unusual jazz structures as its base. Obviously influenced by the likes of Colosseum, the Chicago brass-rock scene and earlier German bands like Xhol Caravan and Organisation, Thirsty Moon created a music with great dynamics, use of heavy and spacious structures, unconventional songs and arrangements, and above all amazing musicianship. Both their debut and, the curiously titled, YOU'LL NEVER COME BACK offer some of the finest Krautrock. Both tripping out with percussively intensive Krautrock tripping, bizarre songs, and ventures into the cosmos, beyond jazz-fusion, beyond everything.
- Crack in the Cosmic Egg
This song is from their 1972 s/t album.
Clip from 'MicroCosmos'.

What an overwhelming sound! Directly, compact, perfekt! It's great fun to listen to it!
Very thanks for posting!
Hallo Jürgen! Das ist ja beinahe unglaublich einen Musikanten von Thirsty Moon zu treffen. Ha, find ich ja voll geil! Ich hab meinen Bandkollegen nicht nur einmal vorgeschwärmt, wie geil ich es fände wenn sie mal so einen geilen Sound wie in diesem Stück bringen würden.... Da fahr ich als Orgler voll drauf ab, kommt voll ausm Bauch raus! Geil! Allergrößtes Lob!!!
