Frame - Frame Of Mind 1972

Frame was a German band formed in the early 1970's by Andy Kirnberger [guitars, vocals, piano], Cherry Hochdörfer [keyboards], Peter Lotz [bass, vocals, percussion], Dieter Becker [vocals, percussion] and Wolfgang Claus [drums, percussion]. In 1972, they released their debut album, 'Frame of Mind', produced by the infamous krautrock producer Dieter Dierks.
The band was short-lived-- 'Frame of Mind' was to be their only album, and the 5-piece dissolved soon afterward. However, unlike many other bands of the period, a few of the members continued playing music; both Hochdörfer and Claus appear on fellow Marburg band Pell Mell's 1978 effort 'Only a Star'.

Stylistically, Frame is a fair representation of the wild jamming of Krautrock but the influence is based on heavy psychedelic bands as Iron Butterfly, Vanilla Fudge and Deep Purple. A slant towards a heavier sound is tempered by a healthy dose of keyboards: the organ, piano, mellotron and spinet all credited to various band members. A pleasant alternative from Deutschland for fans of the heavy progressive/psychedelic sound. progarchives.com
