HÖLDERLIN debuted in 1972 on “Pilz” with the quite formidable album Hölderlins Traum produced by DIETER DIERKS. Psychedelic folk rock was a rare & even tender plant in Germany, which was mostly hybridized into galactic cucumbers in ROLF-ULRICH KAISER’s cosmic greenhouse. It’s a pity that the original line-up of H. with the wonderfully elegiac voice of NANNY DE RUIG didn’t last long. After their debut, the band disappeared from the scene for almost three years and reappeared only in 1975 with a series of albums that sounded only halfway interesting
