This stuff might be fairly straight-forward without the complexities I'm used to but I Iove this style of music. The bass player also adds synths to their spacey yet often powerful style of jamming. The guitarist has taken many trips to India since the seventies which has influenced his playing. The drummer had been going regularly to West Africa since 1991 learning their style of drumming.

These guys sound like Germany's answer to THE SPACIOUS MIND who are from Sweden. Now The SPACELORDS continue as a trio and working on their new CD, looking for new musical surprises. Their eponymous debut album was distributed via an Italian independent label BTF in 2010. He highlighted the music on the first CD with his flute and stayed with the band until end of 2009. The 4th Spacelord Reinhold (flute) came into the band in May 2008. His precise and groovy bass playing makes The SPACELORDS' style possible. Marcus, who's traveling to west Africa since 1991, to study traditional rhythms, but is also into psychedelic music for over 25 years, Matthias, influenced by his trips to India since the seventies and playing his guitar for more than 3 decades, and Klaus, who first started 1978 in Russia as a drummer, but then changed soon to his favourite instrument - the guitar.Īfter more than 20 years playing the guitar, he began on the bass guitar in 2006. As the ideas came so quick and the feeling was there from the first moment, it was clear: Even each of them had his own personal style and background, they had found a common sense in music. Matthias and Klaus already had a few song-ideas and after a couple of weeks almost half of the first CD was arranged.

The SPACELORDS started in April 2008, when Marcus SCHNITZLER (drums, djembe, percussion, special effects) joined Matthias WETTSTEIN (guitars) and Klaus WERZ (bass) for a first session. Psychedelic/space rock from Germany, full-length discography of four albums released between 20.
