"Outra p�rola esquecida dos cofres da emissora SWF, na Alemanha. Cannabis India foi fundada em 1971 na regi�o de D�sseldorf e mostrava o seu talento tocando suas pr�prias composi��es, influenciado por grupos como The Nice ou Emerson, Lake & Palmer. O l�dera da banda, o pianista Oliver Petry estudou piano desde os sete anos de idade. Quando ele ouviu Keith Emerson, pela primeira vez ele mudou de instrumento e come�ou a tocar organ com grande entusiasmo. Juntamente com o baterista R�diger Braune e o furioso baixista Dirk Fleck, Cannabis �ndia executava suas pe�as com uma velocidade infernal, mas tamb�m com um bom senso de drama. Cerca de 12 minutos da �pico faixa "Lapis" e 11 minutos da 9� de Beethoven mostram a for�a musicas da banda. O CD vem com 2 faixas b�nus da banda Universo, p�s-Cannabis India. O Album foi remasterizado digitalmente a partir da Master Tapes originais."
Cannabis India was founded in 1971 by Oliver Petry (organ, vocals), Dirk Fleck (bass) and R�diger Braune (drums), all of them former members of the cover band The Futures. Burckhard Eick, former keyboarder with The Futures, became their manager. In next to no time they managed to come up with a repertoire suitable for gigs, consisting of exclusively own compositions in the style of classical-rock. Playing like a lost basement recording of ELP circa 1971, this high-energy power trio pumped out shameless ersatz classical rock and recorded one brief set in 1973 at Germanys Sudwestfunk radio facilities, preserved and finally released in 2009 on Long Hair. Cannabis India was loosely part of Dusseldorfs Wuppertal scene and was led by child piano prodigy (and Keith Emerson devotee) Oliver Petry, backed by the fierce performance of drummer Rudiger Braune and noted bassist Dirk Fleck.
The band had a brief career but developed a reputation locally as a strong live act, and that immediacy comes pouring through on SWF Session 1973, an all-instrumental sample of four cuts including a version of Beethovens 9th. Were battered open by Petrys machine gun riffing for Hand of the King: mean, dynamic, and very cool, Rudiger Braune Keith Mooning his way through it all and the masterful intonation of Dirk Flecks Fender bass. Many good changes in this 7+ minute chunk of fugue flash, followed by doubly-long Lapis where the Tarkus quotes are most present. Though frankly, CI was probably doing the sort of pure instrumental organ rock that many ELP fans quietly wished their favorite band would indulge more in. No deep lyrics, gonzo improvisations or lovelorn ballads here, just three hungry players with a taste for this new sound in popular music. Revolver is a Gothic dungeon in the great North German school tradition, and the massive Beethovens 9th is a very fine interpretation.
