- Albert Schippers / percussion, conga.............I listen to this obscure vinyl (borrowed) album by the German band Tortilla Flat with some nostalgic feel. A copy of the album is not in very good condition, and on every song I hear old vinyl sounds. But this noise does not destroy the music, even more so - it gives some vintage feel and works well with the music I hear.
Unlike many German bands from the early '70s, Tortilla Flat played not krautrock, but less psychedelic, mechanic and more complex and jazzy music, influenced by the British Canterbury sound. Seven all-instrumental compositions, based on electric keyboards, sound with many flute solos and some fuzzy guitars. Melodic, relaxed, a little psychedelic. Really nice and pleasant listening, and quite unusual for german music at the time.
Unfortunately, a self-released album is now an absolute rarity and I've never heard of a CD being released. Which means this vinyl is an expensive item for collectors. The music itself is really beautiful, but far from original, and I can see why someone could pay that kind of money for a collector's example just to listen to it...........
