Repress! This is the first official reissue on vinyl of the ultra rare, legendary album 'Hyperthalamus' (originally from 1975) by Hamburg-based group Dennis. Dennis was a kind of session group including musicians from Frumpy, Tomorrow's Gift, Thirsty Moon and Xhol playing free-rock. Leading member was Frumpy drummer Carsten Bohn (the band was named after his son). 'Hyperthalamus' comes across as a collection of extracts from acid-jams and freak-outs. The style is a hybrid of progressive, psychedelic and cosmic styles, showcasing elements of late Tomorrow's Gift, Thirsty Moon, and even hints of Embryo and Guru Guru. It's a musical melting pot of surprising diversions and fusion sounds. Pressed in a limited edition, this reissue comes with liner notes unfloding the story of the band.
