Altona - Chickenfarm 1975 (Germany, Krautrock / Jazz Rock / Fusion)


On "Chickenfarm" the group added Bernd Michael Rosenberger - keyboards, percussion. The second album, which was produced by Klaus Bohlmann, did not go to any comparison: there was a "blurring" of the style in the direction of "Copperhead" jazz-rock with elements of funk, blues and soul - to the impersonal Americanized brass rock. After "Altona" Blumenberg Gerlach and guitarist Peter Bosch, bassist Hans-Juergen Semtner and drummer Michael Mietzner formed the band "Dirty Dogs" and released her only album "Seven Lives For Rock 'N' Roll" (1979).
