Formed in early 1969, out of the Stuttgart political commune, as Gila Füchs, we can only guess as to what their music was like in these early days, yet they quickly established themselves as the foremost exponents of psychedelic space-rock.
By 1971, with the shortened name Gila, they recorded one of the finest cosmic classics of Pink Floyd inspired space-rock. GILA (sometimes quoted as "FREE ELECTRIC SOUND") is a mainly instrumental trip and feels much like one suite per LP side. Superbly conceived, it featured an amazingly innovative music that took hints from all the classic Pink Floyd inventions, and went further, blending in ethnic textures with the complex multi-guitars of Conny Veit, stunning keyboards and electronics, and superb percussive-fired space drives, all with that uniquely "Kosmische" aura of trippy space-echo. Naturally, it's widely regarded as one of the finest Krautrock albums. Gila were an extraordinary band, at the peak of the Krautrock ladder, and it's a shame that this original incarnation only made the one album. Gila had a vast repertoire, and concerts would include jams in excess of 20 minutes, covering a range from weirder Guru Guru realms to the most ethereal Agitation Free kind of trips. Banded around as a bootleg cassette for years, the recording of their WDR radio concert (Cologne, 26 February 1972) eventually appeared on CD as NIGHT WORKS, with only one track being a variation from their debut, it notched the Gila sound up a rung on the heaviness ladder, especially so on the superbly titled "Braintwist" and the magical surging "The Gila Symphony". Why the band split after this, we don't know. Daniel Alluno went on to Sameti, and Conny Veit joined Popol Vuh. Some 6 months or so later, so the story goes, Conny Veit missed playing live and decided to form a new incarnation of Gila. This new band was a veritable supergroup, as it featured Popol Vuh leader Florian Fricke and ex-Amon Düül II multi-instrumentalist Daniel Fichelscher. Although hinted at by the earlier Gila, the new sound was also very much in the Popol Vuh style, with medieval and ethnic touches in a complexly textured rock music featuring multi-guitars and excellent female vocalist Sabine Merbach. However, it seems the Gila reformation ploy didn't work, and we have conflicting reports here: Ehnert says that Gila toured and played many concerts, and existed until summer 1974, whereas the Garden of Delights history says that they didn't. After this Danny Fichelscher joined Popol Vuh permanently, and Gila eventually split. Conny Veit worked a little more with Popol Vuh, and then joined Guru Guru for a short while (documented on a bootleg live CD) before disappearing from the scene for several years. He is credited within the ranks of Popol Vuh on some later albums, and that's it, excepting a demo track included on the BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE CD on Garden of Delights. Sadly, I'm told that Conny passed on in late 2001.

September 2016 REM GENRE Krautrock ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.16 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1 A much sought-after classic featuring a Mellotron - the first pressing is meanwhile traded at about € 400 in mint condition. It is the first LP by Gila, neatly recorded in Dieter Dierks' studio in Stommeln in the summer of 1971. The album is largely instrumental and excellent. The 32-page booklet contains a long report of keyboarder Fritz Scheyhing, the last surviving Gila member, looking back at the band's history, and a number of rediscovered photographs from Gila's early period. The rather scanty CD edition from 2015 (Eclipse Records ECL 1006) is, by the way, a bootleg, completely illegal; the edition on Second Battle is deleted since years. An LP edition on Garden of Delights is under way, in a fold-out cover with a poster and with far more photographs on the insert than shown in the CD booklet.

September 2016 REM GENRE Krautrock -----------------------     foobar2000 1.3.16 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1 Originally based in Stuttgart Conny Veit’s Gila had already recorded a more rocking psychedelic first album with a different line-up when Veit was invited to Munich to record “Hosianna Mantra” for Florian Fricke’s Popol Vuh. Hanging around frequently at Amon Düül’s commune in Kronwinkel he met Daniel Fichelscher who played and recorded with Amon Düül II at that time. Veit was impressed with Fichelscher’s drumming and decided to revive Gila with Fichelscher on drums, Veit playing guitar and his then girlfriend Sabine Merbach singing. Florian Fricke contributed piano and some mellotron.
“Hosianna Mantra” was already finished when the four started recording “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” and what may have started as a new version of Gila already contained the nucleus for future Popol Vuh recordings. During that period another Popol Vuh record was released which featured Conny Veit and Daniel Fichelscher playing guitar and when Gila disbanded in 1974. Veit went on to tour France with Amon Düül II and Fichelscher began his long and fruitful work as Fricke’s sideman in Popol Vuh (which lasted until the early 90’s). To cut it short: “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” can be seen as a transitional record. It is not the old Gila and it is not yet the new Popol Vuh… it sits in between as a document of change, a consequential one-off. So much for Krautrock-history, what about the music? The songs are all credited to Conny Veit, but there’s a heavy Popol Vuh vibe on there. And I clearly remember when I listened to “Bury My Heart…” for the first time (as an mp3-download with no additional info at hand) my first thought was: “Sounds like Popol Vuh!” (And, of course, I found out googling seconds later that Fricke contributed to the record.) But there are differences – even though mostly not so much within the music but the context it refers to: While Fricke’s records are often influenced by Christian iconography and various religious themes “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” is lending its title from Dee Brown’s book on the extinction of the Native Americans. Three songs also feature lyrics taken from the book’s text: “In A Sacred Manner”, “Sundance Chant” and “The Buffalo Are Coming”. It’s easy to see why and how the Munich commune hippies identified with the story of the Native Americans – and it’s a bit pretentious, too: “I saw white soldiers who were attacking our camp” (“Black Kettle’s Ballad”). Long-haired and offbeat-dressed hippies must have felt like the last Native Americans when walking the streets of Munich while people in a not really denazified society spat or yelled at them: “Under Hitler it would not have been like that!” (There is an interesting book on the whole scene around Amon Düül and the social and political climate during that time called “Tanz der Lemminge. Amon Düül – eine Musikkommune in der Protestbewegung der 60er Jahre” by Ingeborg Schober, but it’s not translated in English, I’m afraid.) And look at the back of the record! Apart from the handsome but slightly bourgeois looking Fricke there’s three romantically styled outsiders/hippies: “Colours And Flowers / The Wind Was Blowing Through My Hair / Ah… / Think I’m Going To Take A Walk Outside” (“This Morning”) – but watch out for those “white soldiers” aka old nazis roaming the streets! Don’t get me wrong, I love the record and I love that whole attitude but sometimes when I look at that pictures within the context of the times back then and the theme the record refers to I just have to laugh a bit. BUT then I think of Germany back then, the Baader-Meinhof-Group and all that jazz and it all makes perfect sense: “Here I Stand / On My Land / Dying People Around Me” (Black Kettle’s Ballad”). That said Gila’s “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” could be seen as a political statement in the disguise of a folk-rooted-psychedelia-record. It’s not a call to arms, more a melancholy comment on the powers that be: Bury my heart at Stammheim, … [by YorkshireNed, wasistdas.co.uk] - Daniel Fichelscher / Drums, Percussion, Bass

September 2016 REM GENRE "Progressive Rock" ----------------------- foobar2000 1.3.16 / Замер динамического диапазона (DR) 1.1.1 'Night works' is actually Gila's second record, 'Bury my heart at Wounded Knee' only the third, featuring tracks unknown up until now, which were recorded during a gig on 2 / 26 / 1972 with the band's first line-up. The recording quality does not meet today's expectations, but a lot of effort was invested to get rid of background hiss and other noises with the help of the most modern digital equipment. Nothing was changed, however, and listeners may forgive some flaws and imperfections as it was impossible to do more. The picture on the cover was painted by Conny Veit himself. The 32-page booklet contains an extremely elaborate history of the band in German, English and Swedish, a very meticulous discography and all sorts of photos of labels and covers, leaving nothing left to be desired. The so far most wanted CD on this label.
