There are at least nine bands/artists using this name.

First and most impotant is this ———

The duo of Paul and Limpe Fuchs (aka Anima, Anima Sound, or Anima Musica) were amongst the most experimental to emerge out of the late-1960’s Munich underground scene. Paul studied at the Munich Academy Of Arts from 1958 to 1964, after which he went on to explore sound-sculpture and invent a range of unique instruments. Limpe soon married Paul after they met circa 1961 during academic studies. She played as drummer in a pop group briefly, before graduating. In 1968 Anima was formed. Elitists, and pure avant-gardists at heart, they worked with all manner of conventional and home-made instruments, performing wild and demanding music.

Somehow they were adopted by the experimental rock label Ohr, despite their music being barely rock at all! STÜRMISCHER HIMMEL, recorded at a “thousand year old cottage on a windy hill” with their children, is amongst the oddest of albums. Bizarre creative music it certainly is, but Krautrock it is certainly not! The album ANIMA SOUND (aka MUSIK FÜR ALLE) saw Anima mixing their unique music with electronics, all in a most bizarre and fascinating sound palette, notable for the vivid percussives, Limpe’s wailing vocals, and some of the grooviest ring-modulator work you’ll hear anywhere.

Soon they became friends of the Austrian jazz avant-gardist Friedrich Gulda, and were invited to perform at his “Ossiach” festival. With Friedrich Gulda guesting on ANIMA a long association began with them touring together and being featured on many of each others albums.
