International Story
When you think of Grobschnitt, you think of stage shows lasting up to four hours and of Solar Music, a happening that went on for sometimes upwards of 60 minutes. Grobschnitt was founded in 1970 and was one of the first acts on the legendary German ‘Brain’ label. They existed for 19 years, played 1,356 shows and released 14 albums. From records like Rockpommels Land (´77), Solar Music (´78) and Illegal (´81), they sold more than 100,000 units each – a figure that was very impressive for a German band of that time. All of these records are considered Krautrock classics today. The double, remastered CD, The International Story, gives an overview from 1971 to 1981, including a complete live recording of Solar Music and other tracks from the previously mentioned releases, as well as other Grobschnitt classics, most of which are rare live recordings.
