Guru Guru

One of the original groups of the now famed Krautrock movement of 1970s Germany, Guru Guru positioned themselves quite clearly on the psychedelic rock end of the musical spectrum, considerably more so than their more proto-techno and ambient oriented colleagues. A predominantly instrumental act, Guru Guru mixed elements of free jazz, world music, and heavy American acid rock to create their sound. The band called it quits at the dawn of the 1980s, but have proven to be a quietly influential act on a host of contemporary psych bands.
