VIBRAVOID

The Fruits de Mer Records label will be releasing "An Introduction To Vibravoid" (a 2 CD compilation of the German krautrock / psychedelic rock band).

Here's what Keith from Fruits de Mer added:

Christian Koch's band, probably the finest psychedelic/krautrock rock band in Germany over the last 35 years, started releasing tracks on the Fruits de Mer label back in 2009 - primarily through a series of 7" singles featuring covers of classic 60s tracks.

The band have gone from strength-to-strength, releasing a series of superb albums, the latest being on the Tonzonen label, so it meant a lot when Christian said he'd be happy for FdM to release an 'Introduction to' CD.

But 'An Introduction to Vibravoid' has turned out even better than I could have hoped - Christian has gone back to the band's original recordings and remastered them for the first CD (including covers of songs originally recorded by Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, Can, HP Lovecraft, etc) and then he's put together a bonus CD comprising previously unreleased live recordings of some of the tracks from CD1 PLUS more 60s covers from the Vibravoid back-catalogue.

Vibravoid has released 22 studio albums, countless live albums, singles and EPs over the last 35 years. 'Live At Finkenbach 2015' made it to No. 2 on the official German vinyl sales charts, 'Live At Rheinkaut Festival' stayed for several weeks in the Top 20 of the German CD sales charts.
