Label: Garden Of Delights - CD172

5名編成のバンドとして1970年代後半から1972年末まで活動した非常にマニアックなジャーマンエクスペリメンタル/サイケデリック・グループPanko Musik。当時残した音盤はなく、唯一の音源は1971年6月に録音されたものの83年にドラマーがひっそりとカセットリリースしたという本作[Weil Es So Schön Perlt]。Xhol Caravan初期にも通じる奔放な運び具合がカッコ良く、過剰なエフェクト使いによる振り切れまくった衝動的世界観も素晴らしい隠れ名作。2つのボーナストラックを追加、分厚いブックレットが付属するGarden Of Delightsによる良質リイシュー版。

Panko from West Berlin - not to be confused with the much later GDR band Pankow - are somewhat reminiscent of Xhol Caravan or the early Embryo. They mostly presented long jazzy instrumental passages dominated by the transverse flute and alto saxophone, temporarily interrupted by mainly English vocals and some follies. The band did exist from the late sixties until the end of 1972. During their lifetime, the group didn't release anything, although they would have had the potential. Only in 1983, their drummer released the cassette tape, "Weil es so schön perlt" (Getto SO 36), with live recordings of good sound quality from June 1971. It is not a work copied amateurishly but a regular release with a printed cover and label. The CD edition is provided with two bonus tracks.
