Are you experienced about stones?
Hope life is treating you well folks rock chicks certainly included as well.
I am just writing a few words about Cologne based Alan J. Bound. Band started
with CD „Blue Moon“ 2004 followed up by CD „Moonglider“ 2006. Video-Song „Moonglider“
made by former label is part of ZYX-DVD sampler „Mystic Spirits Vol. 4“. The „Alan J. Bound“
made concerts at various festivals as well as club gigs.
2008 the band followed an invitation to Hawkwind’s highly appreciated and lovely Hawkfest 2008.
Unfortunately, tour drummer had to quit due to going forward intensive touring with his own band.
Alan and Jaki Liebezeit of rock legend Can met in Cologne and made up their mind to make recordings.
Alan and Jaki were allowed to record just around the corner at famous Cologne studio „Sound Studio N“.
After a while it came out nice Georgi Topalov famous for his work with German rock legend Eloy actually
supervised our recordings which were made one after another playing live in the studio using state of the
art recording equipment. As always playing by ear wasn’t something unfamiliar though I do not see it as a
jazz recording. At last Klaus der Geiger well known by Alan of his playing in the streets of Cologne and at
various festivals managed to have a time slot between abroad touring in order to come to the studio. It was
great fun to have him recording a breathtaking 4 min violin solo in his excellent gypsy style. It can be
listened to on Aldara the last track to be finished in the studio . Well, get a taste of it and relax to
the new Alan J. Bound sound. Dive deep into the ocean of dreams. Get experienced about far out worlds,
spaceships and stones. (Can’t) help I am a rock.
Love & Peace Alan
On 22 Jan 2017 our dear friend Jaki Liebezeit died of unexpected death. R.I.P.
