Floh De Cologne
Geyer-Symphonie
Original 1974 first pressing on Ohr of the 5th Floh De Cologne album.
** condition: NM/NM ** "This album celebrates the death of Freidrich Flick, who became incredibly wealthy from Nazi ties. He was a part of the Nuremberg trials & sentenced to 7 years, but was allowed to keep his money. He died in 1972 as the richest man in all of Germany, one year before the album was released. The band takes old recordings of Flick and implements them next to their own dialogue. This feels like a radio drama in an album form. The music itself isn’t too interesting, but it provides a break in between dialogue. At times, their dialogue is sung, which also makes it feel like a musical? It’s a strange experience."
