Label: Garden Of Delights - CD076

後にNurse With Wound、Current 93、Christoph Heemannとの共演盤も発表したりする、60年代に結成されたSoul Caravanを前身とする異色のジャーマンロックバンドXhol Caravan。そこより派生~改名という形で"Xhol"という名義で出版された激レアな71年作[Hau-Ruk]がGarden Of Delightsにより初のオフィシャル再発。エクスペリメンタル色強めに仕上げられたズブズブ且つ崩壊したイメージのジャズ & ロック、また意味不明セッションの数々は間違いなく圧倒的なインパクトとして残ります。お馴染み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。

Earlier Xhol Caravan, from Wiesbaden. Originally released on the legendary Ohr label. A gig of summer 1970 consisting of two overlength tracks. The bonus track of 22 minutes is coming from Dieter Dierks’ studio.

In the seventies, Xhol, from Wiesbaden, originating from Xhol Caravan, were one of the best known underground bands in Germany. In 1970 they signed a contract with the new Ohr label of Peter Meisel and Rolf Ulrich Kaiser. In the summer of that year they recorded a live gig, but it took until 1971 to be released as LP "Hau-RUK" (Ohr OMM 56.014). The title of the LP is a word-play. There are only two long pieces on the LP, the jazzy-psychedelic "Breit" (the German equivalent for "stoned") and the bluesy track "Schaukel". In 1995 it was re-released as a poor bootleg CD by Germanofon. The legal version is now available on Garden of Delights. It offers a long extra track, recorded in 1974 by Dieter Dierks in his studio, as well as a thick booklet with loads of information on Xhol and the Ohr label, discographies, photographs, cover and label repros, stories etc.
