The Moody Blues's magnificent debut was recently remastered and rereleased not only by a remastering engineer but also by a huge fan and musician influenced by The Moodies's body of work. The mastering fan was Joachim Ehrig, better known as Eroc, drummer for the progressive krautrock band Grobschnitt.
Eroc formed Grobschnitt in 1970 out of the refuse of his defunct psychedelic rock band The Crew. The eight man group started stylistically where The Crew left off, but by the time they recorded their debut album Grobschnitt in 1972, the band had moved firmly into the realm of symphonic progressive rock. Alongside Eroc, the band included as members Gerd Otto Kühn (aka Lupo: lead guitar), Stefan Danielak (aka Willi Wildschwein: rhythm guitar, vocals), Herrmann Quettling (aka Quecksilber: keyboards), Axel Harlos (aka Felix: percussion), and Bernhard Uhlemann (aka Bär: bass, flute). They attracted a popular fan base through their exciting live shows that included pyrotechnics and comedy skits. Grobschnitt signed with Brain Records, an iconic record label that fostered some of the best and most influential krautrock bands of the 70s and 80s.
Here is the discography surrounding Grobschnitt's debut album:
