Alcatraz were a 70's Krautrock band from Hamburg, whose style played more to jazz-rock tendencies. Their debut album, Vampire State Building was a mostly-instrumental (vocals on 2 tracks) exploration full of fuzzed-out guitar, big-foundation grooves, piano, and even flute (which often gives them a folkish-edge). http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pSIb8Pzwrt8/SS2wzZStrRI/AAAAAAAAAlo/iEvK_mxJf6M/s400/alca.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pSIb8Pzwrt8/SS2uIIGyAEI/AAAAAAAAAlg/ba0wCdtLfCA/s400/front.jpg User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
