| | Description: | 1974. the Cosmic Jokers were basically Klaus Schulze, Manuel G?ttsching, various Ash Ra Tempel and Wallenstein members doing late night jamming. Galactic Supermarket is one of them, and is more rock-oriented than many others. It's no surprise the music bears more than a passing resemblance to Ash Ra Tempel, because of Manuel G?ttsching and his guitar playing. Also J?rgen Dollase gives some nice keyboard work, particularly the piano, Farfisa electric piano, synths, and even a little Mellotron. Klaus Schulze were more responsible for the more droning organ and synth end of things, it's pretty obvious when he plays it. The legendary producer Dieter Dierks plays Bass on these nearly never ending improvisation. The recording was transferred from the original analog tapes at the Dierks Studios in Germany. And carefully remastered for an incredible result. Released on the label "Kosmische Kuriere" (Cosmic Couriers) - 180GR.Issued in a single sleeve.
Made in Germany.

"Galactic Supermarket" is a landmark LP of German space-kraut and cosmic psychedelia by Cosmic Jokers, released by the visionary imprint Kosmische Kuriere / Cargo. Across extended, flowing tracks, the album blends hypnotic motorik rhythms, swirling analog synthesizers and free-form improvisation into an immersive trip that feels like a live jam session beamed in from deep space. The music unfolds in long waves: propulsive bass and drums lay a trance-like foundation over which guitars, synths and cosmic effects spiral outward, creating a dense, shimmering soundscape that invites both close listening and total surrender. "Galactic Supermarket" is ideal for fans of exploratory 1970s krautrock, psychedelic rock and early ambient electronics who appreciate albums that work as a continuous journey rather than a collection of singles.
Cosmic Jokers were an informal studio project emerging from the early-70s German kosmische scene, bringing together members and associates of leading bands of the era for nocturnal jam sessions. Known for sprawling, improvisation-heavy recordings rather than conventional song structures, the group became a cult name among collectors of experimental and psychedelic music. Their legacy rests on a small but highly influential series of LPs that captured the free, boundary-breaking spirit of the time and helped define the sound of cosmic krautrock for later generations of listeners, DJs and reissue labels.
The LP format suits "Galactic Supermarket" perfectly: each side plays like a self-contained voyage, building patiently from atmospheric openings into ecstatic peaks of sound, then dissolving back into weightless drift. Warm, analog production emphasizes the grain of vintage synthesizers and tape effects, making this edition especially attractive for vinyl enthusiasts who value depth, texture and dynamic range. Played loud, the record fills the room with a three-dimensional swirl of sound that rewards repeated listening.
Kosmische Kuriere, here in cooperation with Cargo, is known for championing pioneering German electronic and psychedelic music. The label's catalog has become a touchstone for collectors of krautrock and kosmische sounds, often associated with carefully curated reissues and artist-driven projects that preserved the adventurous spirit of the 1970s underground. Releases on Kosmische Kuriere / Cargo are appreciated for their attention to detail, from artwork and packaging through to sound quality, making this LP a compelling choice for anyone wanting to dive deeper into the classic era of cosmic music. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
