Thank you for posting this. I am really interested in hearing it.

For those who like these artists you can actually get most of the Jazzwerkstatt catalog on i tunes at $9.99 per disc. They started to carry the label in early September 2010. I am told that the label is actually paying royalties to the artists.

Also, they are having a Jazzweerkstatt mini-festival in NYC in November.

I am happy to get a chance to see some of these musicians get to the U.S.

Thanks. This is of course an early recording by the same band which later became known as Zentralquartett.

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

The first recording of Synopsis/Zentralquartett was made for FMP ("Auf der Elbe schwimmt ein rosa Krokodil") about one month before the one on Amiga.
There is even one Zentralquartet on Nato which is called:
-Günter Sommer et trois vieux amis-: "Ascenseur pour le 28" from 1984 and a deleted release on SYN 01 (CD)from 1977 which sounds almost like a mediocre bootleg. Plus one or two pices on LP compilations (at least one is from FMP.
By the way - have a look here:

scroll down till the bottom.

For all who are interested in FMP it should be a feast - for sure.

I just checked the link from my previous comment - and it is deleted.
I saw it this afternoon - it was an advertisement for a forthcoming FMP Box with a 200pages book plus 12 CDs - five with unissued recordings and five with reissues from "old" FMP LPs.
But at least I can assure you there will be a FMP Box. I knew it before and was asked not to spread it.

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

Sorry!
The ad is not deleted - my ad-blocker was the fiend.

Here is a part of it:

Sad to see that FMP are doing their old incompetent job of marketing this remarkable new decision.

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

As Jost Gebers has mailed me:
(in my words and understanding)

there will be no more reissue of "old" FMP CDs.
The original artwork for the covers is destroyed. Also for the LPs.
For that reason - he won't make copies from existing covers - no more FMP.
The FMP archive is already at least partially assigned to the Jazz Institute of Darmstadt.

For me this Box Set is something like a swan song.
Hope I'm wrong

Onxidlib, Re: Synopisis Amiga,

Congratulations! You're the first to post something from Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky here! I have searched a little for his music and from where I live there are only costly imports available. A friend passed me a bootleg cassette many years ago and I thought it quite good. This is much better - your lp rip is fantastic! Thank you, Thank you
P.S. Have you any others with him?

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

Yes I have others from Petrowsky.
And I shall post them as far as it is no FMP recording - off course.

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

I've removed the link - the LP is was reissued as CD some days ago for about 10,- euro. More Amiga recordings will follow...f.e. Rolf Kühn's "Solarius".

mike said...

Can we get a repost please? I don't think it is still in print.

Ernst Grgo Nebhuth said...

Hi mike, Synopsis is still available from the label Edel/Content.
