Label: Garden Of Delights

73年にドイツはシュツットガルトで結成されたバンドSiddhartha。オリジナルは1975年にセルフリリースにて発表された、このグループの唯一作にしてモンスタークラスの激レア盤[Weltschmerz]のCDリイシュー版!!現在までに数度の再発が行われた超名作であり、プログレとアートロックを融合し生み出した独創性の高いオルガンロックが超秀逸!!フルート、チューバ、バイオリンを取り入れた異質の編成も非常に魅力的。Garden Of Delightsの超良質復刻。





Siddhartha, named after a novel by Hermann Hesse, were formed in 1973 in Korntal near Stuttgart. They performed an intelligent mix-ture of progressive and art rock influenced by psychedelia and folk. Although their 1975 album is called "Weltschmerz" all songs contain English lyrics except for "Weit weg". It was released in a limited edition of 400 copies and is now one of the most sought-after collectors’ items. A thirty minute demo tape by Siddhartha which was recorded after the release of their album has disappeared and has not yet been found. As no live gigs were recorded no additional tracks could be added to this CD issue. One of the best CDs in this series.
