Description
"Bröselmaschine" is one of the oldest bands from Germany and still alive!

The reactions to their latest studio album (2017) were awesome by critics and fans. All over the world, especially in USA and Japan, the debut album from 1971 is listed as one of the most important "Krautrock"-albums of all time - beneath Amon Düül, Can and Tangerine Dream (e.g. the New York Blog "Pigeon & Planes": rank 9 of 20).

On the occasion of their 50th anniversary MIG will release an Anthology-boxset contain 5 CDs and two DVDs - a complete documentary of this unique band (1968 to 2017). An impressing 48 page booklet with extended liner notes and photos makes this release a special gem.

The boxset contains all studio albums including the iconic debut, carefully restored and digitally remastered. For the album "I Feel Fine" we got the original 2inch multitrack tapes. "Baked" and digitalized our proven sound engineer Hoppi made a contemporary mix, but for all that still ensouled by the ghosts of the 70's.

The album "Graublau" (Greyblue) was digitally remastered from the original analogue 1/4inch Mastertape from 1984.

It is fascinating and entertaining to follow this extraordinary band through the decades in different line-ups. On guitar: Willi Kissmer and Michael Dommers (previously "Wallenstein") and, of cause mastermind Peter Bursch, who is also playing the sitar. Part of the band since years: German exceptional drummer Manni von Bohr, on keyboards: Helge Schneider, Klaus Dapper on flutes and saxophone, Deltlef Wiederhöft on bass, the great Nippy Noya on percussions and many, many more. . .
