German duo of Claus Rauschenbach (guitars, kongas, percussions, vocals, harmonica, slentem) and Heinz Martin (electric guitars, flute, piano, vibraphon, schalmi, cello, violin, synthesizer) released their only album of mantra acid-folk/blues in 1972.

Nice guitar/synth interplay from one of my favorite synth albums. After becoming disenchanted with DNA’s) direction, Robin Crutchfield started Dark Day. He put out several records of dark synth work (which later became a bit more pop-oriented) with a revolving cast, including Jim Jarmusch at one point, before shifting gears again to more medieval folk.

Exterminating Angel, the first full length remains my favorite.
