Ich habe lange überlegt wo ich das Album einsortieren soll, Elektronic oder doch Kraut. Nun ist es hier angekommen. Es ist schon sehr elektronisch, oder sollte ich schreiben elektrisch? Egal, es ist sehr spannend. Kein Wunder bei der Besetzung. Elektronische Sounds gepaart mit deutlichen Krautansätzen. Rockig aber eben doch elektrisch. Etwas ambivalent. Mal sehr ruhig, fast chilling, dann wieder rauher, ruppig. Immer aber äusserst angenehm.

»Cosmic Jokers is the side project of Rolf Ulrich Kaiser (the founder of the Cosmic Couriers label)...this group includes many well known musicians from the krautrock scene as Klaus Schulze, the guitarist Manuel Gottsching (Ash Ra Tempel), the drummer Harald Grosskopf (ART, Wallenstein)...This band and The Cosmic Jokers album in particular represent cosmic/Space rock music at its finest. The two pieces can really reach the listener on a new orbit...in a total abstract world, far from the earth, a universe made of dreams & psychedelic visions. GalacticJoke is more a guitar orientated track with Gottsching unique style (free form rock meet spacey arrangements). The second track is more meditative, dominated by intergalactic keyboards, doom-laden bass guitar lines & hypnotic helicopter drums pattern. This album is a supreme effort and an incredible experience. It remains one of my favorite of all time.«
