Formed somewhere in 1970 and existed till 1989, GROBSCHNITT (which translates to ROUGH CUT) were an excellent German band from the mid-Seventies. The band was created by EROC (percussion), (WILLI) WILDSCHWEIN (guitars & vocals), and LUPO (guitar). They were most known as a hybrid of YES (symphonic progressive group), but they also explored other progressive rock styles. Their sound was characterized by sometimes humorous approach to making music, exhibited in both the lyrics and in the chimeric sound of the instruments. A VERY COMPELLING BRAND OF MUSICAL MOODS: haunting melodies, funny voices (by EROC), wonderful guitar work, great synthetizer sounds, strange drummmer/effects man, and sophisticated arrangements. The eclectic German band became one of the most popular live acts in German history.

Made nearly fifteen albums, from normal rock album up to concept albums. Their first five albums are all classics. Vocals are mostly in English, although some albums were released with German vocals for the home market and English vocals for export.

Brilliant band! Grobschnitt is absolutely fantastic! Eroc has released lots of live recordings. Enjoying every minute of them! can't wait to see some DVD's of their gigs. I've seen a bit of Solar Music at Rockpalast and it was great! Tagged them as 'rock circus'. It seems the only good description for them, to me anyway.

Solar Music Live is probably the single best live album from the entire progressive rock genre. Maybe there's a Magma concert up there too...yes..maybe Live/Hhai.
