Description/Reviews: 

Upperseption – the name being a partly nonsensical coinage – were founded in Altenhundem, situated in the Sauerland in North Rhine-Westpalia, in 1970. They played progressive rock music, influenced by The Nice. The band didn’t release anything back then. Only a few tapes survived, the initial ones recorded in their domestic garage and with a modest sound quality, and later ones from the studio. The Upperseption-LP, “Cornicula”, with recordings from 1970 and a sound which needs getting used to, was released in 2013. The CD “Neo Gourage” contains some more as yet unreleased tracks. The first one, “Rondo (69)”, is a musical revelation, but not for sound purists. The other pieces are recordings of an excellent sound quality from various recording studios; the last – also excellent – recording is from a live performance.

Description/Reviews: 

An unreleased studio album by Dr. Aftershave (ex Missus Beastly), in the same style as the late Missus Beastly. During their latter period, Missus Beastly renamed themselves to Dr. Aftershave for about one year, after the title of their third LP. Their style, however, didn’t change: mostly instrumental jazz-rock, also called fusion. They had planned from the very beginning to record some songs for an LP, which they did in the Stuttgart Zuckerfabrik sound studio from August 19 to 22, 1980. Initially, the sound studio itself wanted to release the album, but this plan failed. The negotiations with Mood Records didn’t lead to anything as well. The recordings were thus parked in the drawer for 37 years, kept safe by Marlon Klein. It’s due to him that they have been preserved in good order and condition till this day. The CD at hand is thus the first release; an LP edition is planned for the future, but that may take some time.
