- In it's entirety, as it was intended to be heard. One of the more obscure, underground classics of the genre
A free form rock band founded by a small community of 5 German hippies / "avant garde" artists back at the beginning of the 70's. Their self title effort was recorded in 1972 in a WWII air raid bunker. The cover of their self title album (a militaristic image which is a portrait of the third Reich military force) provides an illustration of anger expressed by the WWII's young generation against their parents. By consequence German Oak's music is very tortured, dark and weird, dominated by heavy, "distorted" guitar solos & rhythms. The background creates "painful" & "ambient" sequences thanks to delay echoes, electronic "fuzzy" noises & repetitive bass lines. A funkadelic/jazzy felt punctuates with discretion this grandiose, "creepy" instrumental album. A first CD reissue was offered by Witch And Warlock in 1991. Today this album is re-edited by Radioactive records (2005). In a rather discretion they also released the moody, cloudy and experimental epic-kraut "Niebenlungenieg" (1972)
In the strange Olympic summer of 1972, the Dusseldorf instrumental group German Oak entered the Luftschutzbunker, or Air Raid Shelter, in order to record their eponymous first LP. Following in the footsteps of the percussive and organic Organisation and the remarkable Dom, German Oak had every reason to believe that this 3rd LP to be recorded by a Dusseldorf band would be warmly received. Unfortunately, German Oak were not only wrong in their assumptions that locals would embrace their music, but even local record shops rejected all the group's attempts to sell the albums in city outlets. Such was their lack of success that 202 of the original 213 copies were stored in the basement of the group's organist until the mid-1980s, when a thirst for undiscovered Krautrock finally brought German Oak back from the dead.

totally outstanding kraut record. ein kleinod!
Sempre. Novidade Alemanha e raro discos
great music light up
Realmente guitarra excelente batera otima
Gran disco de krautrock. Todo un viaje..lo consegui en una edicion de tres cd
utterly fantastic
fuck yeah! great tone on the guitar, with slow jam backbeat, so far very crunchy
Just a beautiful dark trip ...
After hearing this I gotta find the album.
Stunningly good. Play it fucking loud.
Cover art, song titles and Hitler samples were not the band’s idea...that being said, I think it all comes together very nicely, adds to the gloomy, dank atmosphere of bunker acoustics and psych guitar wandering about like ghost of World War Too. Ace jams!
Fucking fascist shut your dirty mouth! It'll be not a bad idea
@@jazz4yourazz Nobody thinks you're cool for repeating the same capitalist-approved platitudes.
how do you know? just find it very interesting is all.

Mr Hilter so nice to have you with us . The BNB could use with nice clean folk like you. And oh good day Mr Bimmler! You must mind your cigarettes.
Ha! What a great sketch that was.
In 1980 someone had a box of these at a recordfair. He wanted 25 Mark per Vinyl.
Man, thats a steal
Should've bought the box
VERY VERY GOOD BAND END LP..........................................................................................................................................
That was crazy! Thanks
Danke fur die German Oak laden!

This obscure group created mournful music in a twilight world.
Highlights: 35:00 > 35:19
linda guitar
Bom álbum germany obscura no Brazil puta guitarra
That intro speech sounds more like Hitler's "hanging judge", Roland Freisler than it does Hitler. Wish I could understand the words. Anyway this stuff is very melodic and innovative.
Strangely compelling, this album. Where else could one find an album whose "vocalist" is a dead dictator other than youtube?
At a local record shop, looks like I'll be going back to pick this one up on my next visit

Did you ever buy a copy?
It’s really cool
tengo este disco muy bueno
couldnt agree more, and yes misunderstood is an understatement. It was never about honoring the horrors that were the Nazi Reich, but about capturing the feel of a war bunker/war themes. I guess the cover art didn't help much..I listen to this probably twice a week. Great jams
probably didn't help
How about capturing the essence of the horrors of WWII.They really nail it with the mood of the creepy atmosphere. Good underground stuff, pun intended.
buenísimo
makes Joy Division sound like Duran Duran
It's a revulsive, like the svastikas of the Hells Angels too... The music is Bunker-Roll!
Rock Around The Bunker!
Great album. The only thing that pisses me off is the way the "A"s are written.
Gracias...
they say this album was recorded in an old WW2 bunker...
coldwar1977 indeed it was
a lot of people say a lot of things about florida too
coldwar1977 bull shit,it was invented in your head,and recorded in les claypools california personal studio,,before he was even recording .
You might be able to get more misinformed [or the sarcasm is missed], but not entirely sure how it would be possible...It was recorded in a bunker in 1972. The artwork is indeed provocative but the band had nothing to do with it. The stance I've adopted, is, if you have a problem with politics of a band and whatnot, then start throwing away large portions of your collection. Just enjoy the music for what it is. Art. I don't think a bunch of hippies down in bunker, jamming, were overly concerned about too much, other than the smoke out that surely happened.
Read and learn Toby...www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/albumofthemonth/german-oak
Perhaps more information than you care to know, but it's more of a subdued 'don't talk out of your ass' comment than anything.
I read about that
jawohl
Killer
DE CULTO!!!!!!, AGGGGG
Rock on, Dude!
Not IIIrd Reich, the helmet, but WWI. Graet album. OUT!
Buenos samplers
I believe this is a later version "contaminated" with Hitler speaches,not the original recording.
david bradley the cool one
Donde puedo encontrar la pimera parte del discurso?
WHo is Adolph Hitler?
wasn't in Conny Planks auntie?
My sugar daddy

Epic
add Thom Yorkes voice you have Radiohead
I HEARD THIS IS ACTUALLY HOGAN'S HEROS WITH I DONT HEAR NOTHING SCHULTZ ON BASS
What makes this anti-fascist? I think the essence of art is that you let the listener to decide.
Well in that case...mate..maybe you should listen to agit /political rock bands Germany had from 1970 onwards...zum beispiel...Floh De Cologne and surprise surprise, Ton Steine Scherben...happy hunting!
Heftig
I keep telling people Black Magick SS rules, but ain't all that original and this is why lol
i love this album, i has been hearing it for 15 years, the only bad thing about it is the hitler discurso makes me feel so uncomfortable
That was the intent indeed
buen álbum
Trae un poco de la rola de pink floyd echoes
Y claramente se nota mucha influencia de pink floyd.
Think if the Germans had pick up guitars instead of gins.
