Sergius Golowin

about

Sort of a Swiss Timothy Leary, Sergius Golowin (born 1930, died July 17, 2006) is probably best known for his trippy philosophies and poetry. Little-known outside of his homeland, he did experiment in what was called "kosmische", a kind of hallucinogenic, undoubtedly drug-influenced psychedelic rock heavy on improv. Golowin was one of the first to record for Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser. This was before Walter Wegmüller and The Cosmic Joker releases. Kaiser teamed Golowin up with a cast of excellent musicians including Manuel Gottsching and Klaus Schulze of Ash Ra Tempel, Jurgen Dollase and Harald Grosskopf of Wallenstein, and producer Deiter Dierks, and others. They would all become part of the 'Cosmic Couriers', a loose group that had played music for Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser-produced records. Recorded in 1972-73, the recorded album sounds like something out of a different style of music altogether. Trippy, droning rock guitars (with some folk elements) elevate the celestial keyboards and electronics. Sergius Golowin giving it a spiritual German 'rap' over top of it all. Probably dated by today's musical standards, it still holds up to the best Krautrock artists even though it may not sound entirely like Cosmic Jokers, Ash Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, etc. The lone release "Lord Krishna von Goloka" is heavy on the free-form ambient and psychedelic preaching à la Mr. Leary, but probably a little too out there for most rock fans. Fans of Kosmische Rock will love it. "The album is divided i
