Доп. информация:
Цитата: OS MUNDI was located in Berlin. Two forerunners are to point out, the first named SAFEBREAKERS covered TOP 40 songs and later on ORANGE SURPRISE with own material and also producing film music. Four musicians started in 1970 with the new band name: Udo Arndt (guitar, vocals), Christoph Busse (drums, vocals), Dietrich Markgraf (flute, sax) and Andreas Villain (bass). Their first album 'Latin Mass' was produced for the Metronome label. OS MUNDI tried to convert a catholic mass into Psychedelic/Heavy Rock provided with a dark atmosphere and a rough production. Above all the latin lyrics are characteristic and unique.
Wolfgang "Buddy" Mandler (drums, percussion) and Raimund "Mikro" Rilling (cello, bass) later joined the band to produce the second effort '43 Minuten' followed by female Jazz and Pop vocalist Ute Kannenberg. Influences of the new members are well recognizable. Their next album from 1972 is differing to the forerunner prefering more Symphonic and Jazz Rock elements whereas the song 'A Question Of Decision” is known to be the masterpiece.
The band failed producing new albums afterwards but existed until 1975 involving more and more musicians. So OS MUNDI can be considered as one of the first rock big-bands with more than 10 members at once. From 1975 on to 1980 the band gave one sold out revival concert a year at the famous Berlin 'Quartier Latin'. This performances were appointed with a strong Jazz Rock orientation. Цитата: Out of the chaos of Berlin, but spared by the wall ignominy, a bunch of local high school kids were playing in rock or beat bands. Soon enough a loose aggregation formed from two of these group. Sometimes playing up to 12, and sometimes down to a quartet, this unit became a few years later Os Mundi (we are the world) and recorded two albums in the very early 70’s, but featuring a sextet, even if two of them were credited as guest. OM was more of a project of Udo Arndt (organ, guitar, vocals and main songwriter) with the help of drummer Chris Busse (drums and lyrics) and their first album is somewhat of a masterstroke, pulling the equivalent of The Electric Prunes, Mass In E Minor, with the same psych tendencies, although darker and with Latin lyrics. The album came in 70 on the Metronome label and presented a candlelight artwork
OM managed to sound very professional, even if the album’s production is not always so, often reminiscent of Vanilla Fudge with David Byron (UH) vocals, but in the opening Overture sound very Purple-like (as in Black Night meeting Fireball), but overall, OM have their own sound. Plenty of lengthy instrumental interplay of complex rhythms makes this album a gem, but as mentioned before, the raw-atmosphered production can be discouraging a few. But the album ultra psyched and dark is very much still 60’s like in terms of vocal filters and other sound effect, and often, we are drawn to think of Vanilla Fudge most often, except that the Latin vocals are not well recorded, especially in Gloria, which cumulates the error of having a double drum solo (good in itself, but out of context), the often-excellent lengthy Credo is evening things out, especially in the Saucerful-era Floyd passage nd Udo’s ensuing soaring guitar solo >> easy dramatics, but effective.
The second Credo is obviously taking from where the first part ended, but strikes even more the good cords. The 9-mins Sanctum is upping the ante even more with Markgraf switching from sax to a delicious flute, and this song is evidently close to having us believe in their mysticism, but the improv is taking things a bit far for a successful mass. Too bad the closing anus Dei is the weaker track on anotherwise strong album, though.
While their second album would sound quite different, developing a jazz-rock ala Kraan, early Chicago and Colosseum, Latin mass is certainly a good example of Germany’s multi-faceted music scene, and as recommended as it could be, I’m not sure it deserves the essential mention, but it’s definitely worth your while should you choose to make the detour by OM’s two albums. Цитата: Largely accepted as kraut-rock (in a fresh and early phase of moving from the psychedelic to the acid taste and dandle rough motion), psychedelic (as a trench of concept and a bland of rock over sensations, in the usual psychotic and novelized ways) and rock (by slow motions that will grant a fine progressive impression or a chant beneath the waves and the inner trend), Os Mundi impress artistically and also share a common taste for the ravishing progressive passion, in a mixture that, mostly, is indescribably a great taste and a depth and darkness' more refined search, and stands afterwards as the bits of caprices and melted down orientations that, in classic time, have all the best originality but also dry an exclusive music.
Upon a few other such influences (bands that, enlarged in their century's experiment or chaos) , Os Mundi decided to have a debut of mass improvisation, acid dynamics and irregular means - subtly, this would also count as the more impressive manner of them ever composing and producing a dream and a musical ideal; they never quite gather themselves up anymore, or like so, upon the second album - taking a latin mass ceremony, with all the essential and characteristic elements (something run in the concept, not that sure how well and integrally in the music), and making a rock extravaganza, with moments of art and depression, of sobrieties of cluster and cringe, with music or nude sounds, with a concept vigilance or a mad claustrophobia, down the more spiced psychedelic or the more searched idea of a bombastic dark and humid recording. The idea of a masked profoundness is the only thing not up to the psychedelic smoke or the kraut vogue. Otherwise, the band has a meaningful, old-sound, eclectic and poly-rock arranged art rotation.
The more "choral" and "incanting" pieces prove sensibility and sound harvest, like the Overture, full of glows and organ parallels, merging hard and heavy on ritual-esque and subtle, like Credo being a piece for the hopes of vocals and sound-words, or like Sanctus, made in a typical language, but also blending massively and integrally vibrations of flute and rock-rhythm moody improvisation. The rest of the pieces do expand to more rock and more deloused symbols (for the "latin mass"), exciting by the peculiar and distinct psych, free-jazz, hard rock or tenacious abstract. Kyrie and Agnus Dei are quite the most dark and ambiguous examples, preaching over a dark atmosphere, scabrous (mildly, the really rough or desolating art is never reached in this state) vocals or riffs out of their infinity, in a sinister kind of rock or a very impressive high spirit. There are little mistakes or paranoid moments of interpretation in this album, it can just get a slim and over-droned essence if the taste, quite clearly, would not be to keen on acid rock and concept movement.
In Os Mundi's Latin Mass, the great lead of music perspective and special sound are given by Christoph Burse, less by the arrhythmic verses, but more by the mute taste of sound and color-explosion, and Udo Arndt, through the keyboards and organ addicted mind-drive, something of a sheer taste and caliber, compared to music being an illustration of psychic harms and musical ubiquities. Nevertheless, good (though occasional) woodwind work (either jazzy, or phosphorescently easy) by Dietrich Markgraf and, integrally, a fine interpretation of some special characters and some abyssal daises.
An impressive and marking debut album by Os Mundi, with a rough moment of progressive rock awaking from the psychedelic infinity of expression. Thinking that music should be an art moment or a special significance, this album (and not the more "relaxed" next one) should really be of interest. The other way around, this would be seriously against all the general trend and the moody vibes of rock and psych; having therefore a star off, thanks to pretentiousness and auricular creativity. But it feels better on the first side.
