Witthuser & Westrupp - German progressive psychedelic folk trippiness goodness!!!

uh..guys you have to be inside the car to actually drive it!!
Witthuser & Westrupp: Trips und Traume (1971)
This is beautiful beautiful music.
Did I say it was beautiful?

calming the savage in my head
kissing the ravage of
the premature dead
cosmic folk for the weary
set the controls for the heart of your mind
and reside away from the madness
of everyday life
and everyday people
into a life
of pastoral psychedelic peace.

peace.

It's amazing how much hi-quality experimental psychedelic beautiful progressive fucking insane shit came out of Germany in the early 70s. A true source for some incredible music. This album is definitely worth checking out! It struck me while listening to it how much I was enjoying it. It snuck up on me and took me into another dimension.

"if you take lsd in your tea" - "you will feel it in your knees"
It's always fun when Germans break into English! It sounded like at the end, he preferred the joint instead of the lsd..or was that on TOP of the lsd?

Here are youtube sightings of Witthuser & Westrupp. Praise youtube!! I was NOT expecting videos of these guys. Here's an example of the beauty of these guys. From 1969. thanks morrritz.

Here they are in the forest playing for nature.

A nice little folk tune about Dracula. 1970. thanks guanire for the last 2.
