Krokodil-Krokodil

A band from Zurich Switzerland. This CD is a reissue on the Second Battle label out of Germany that specializes in reissues of European Psychedelic, Progressive and Krautrock releases from the 70’s. This has a 1969 copyright date on it but I’m not sure if this is an official release. Mostly a Rock sound with Blues and Psychedelic influences. The five piece band plays guitar, sitar, violin, piano, harmonica, bass and drums. “Morning Dew” is the first track sounding like The Jeff Beck Group’s version of it. “Watchn’ Chain” a traditional song with many different interpretations and titles is one with some nice guitar and one I put on my playlist. “Dabble In Om” features the sitar, This CD comes with three bonus tracks, one a Tim Hardin cover, another, a single, “Camel Is Top” is more or less a commercial for Camel cigarettes. Put out five albums but broke up in 1974. Got back together in 2016 with three original members and put out four new albums, the last a live album in 2024.
