Chris Karrer - Chris Karrer 1979 (Germany, Krautrock, Prog Folk)

Chris Karrer is the self-titled debut solo album by German guitarist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Karrer (known as the leader of the legendary Krautrock band Amon Düül II), which was recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich and released between 1979 and 1980. The album moves in a style that combines elements of Krautrock, space rock, synth-pop and progressive rock, reminiscent of the late period of Amon Düül II in the late '70s.Chris Karrer biography
Chris Karrer was one of the most important members of Amon Düül 2. In 1980 he published his first self-titled solo album. While this one was more or less prog pop (though somehow enjoyable to listen to), the following albums in the 90s were quite different and strongly influenced by Karrer's conversion to Sufism. They sound a lot like Embryo, and indeed Karrer was a member of Embryo for some time in the 90s.
