Austin Grasmere and the late Brian Elliot allegedly had written a string of bubble gum hits when they approached ESP to produce an LP that would present their original creative ideas, far removed from the formulas of the market place. They said that they had a Connecticut tribe with which they would bring to fruition the ideas that they needed to express... the ultimate theme being "all is one" ESP gave them engineer Otto Schontze and some studio time. For three days they labored to fulfill their musical dream...producing an album titled "Orgasm", which they credited to Cromagnon. It was released in 1969. There actually was a Connecticut tribe of sorts, a typical hippie commune of the day, with several children included. They can all be heard on the epic CALEDONIA.

I wouldn't be surprised if this band had an influence on people like Der Blutharsch...

@chrisM33 If you ask me it sounds like a bunch of people forcefully whispering. Black metal vocals are shrieks and screams.

Industrial? 30 years ahead of it's time? Are you guys deaf or just stupid? This sounds nothing like industrial (unless you believe shit like NIN is industrial, lol), but it's very similar to Comus, who released their first album in 1971. So yeah, at best this is 2 years ahead of it's time, you can stop jerking off now.
Oh, I still think this is an awesome song, just not 30-years-ahead awesome.

@panjawel2 I disagree that this is "very similar" to Comus. Other than the fact that Comus and Cromagnon both twisted folk idioms to their own purposes, and they both were somewhat shambolic, they don't have much in common. It may not be "30-years-ahead awesome", but it is around 15 years ahead, since the percussion and vocal approach, as well as the roaring background clatter, would later appear in such 70s-80s industrial music as Neubauten, SPK, Young Gods, Skinny Puppy and Throbbing Gristle.
