Alfred Otterstaetter began playing music in the late 70s, releasing homemade tapes and records under different band names. The Blumen des Exotischen Eises LP was released in 1986 in the quantity of 100 copies on his Dead Eye Records. It was recorded between 1983 and 1985 and consisted of spontaneous music, some of it played by Alfred alone on different instruments with overdubs, and some with friends. Some tracks have an early 70s open-air spaced out feel, others a more heavy hypnotic Teutonic sound. This record will appeal to fans of other German bands like KALACAKRAr, SOLOAH, LIMBUS, FAUST, and AMON DUUL 1. This is the official and first ever CD reissue of Karawane der Mystiks album, with three previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original recording sessions. Original artwork, remastered sound.
