(Review from progarchives.com, longhairmusic.de)

“Death Is A Great Gambler” is a refined, ecclectic album dominated by Hammond organs, solid guitar rythms and frantic technical drums — a more accessible and less obscure side of krautrock. The music alternates conventional, melodic & energic psych pop songs (closed to the 60′s British psych scene) with “lysergic” epics under an hippie’s attitude and musical aesthetism.

The highlight is probably the moody and mysterious “Tochter Im Delirium – Daughter’s Delirium” : an “acid” rock trip with haunted, furious Hammond organs, obsessional & menacing guitar chords, bizarre sound manipulations and bass wha wha effects.

This album is for those who are into the krautrock / space-psychedelic rock — an excellent listening with good weed.

Unfortunately this wraps up all the group’s recordings. Coupla Prog’s disbandment was a drawn out affair. Periods without a practice room, various members moving out of the area, musical differences, stagnation and eventually a lack of motivation were the reasons for the band to call it a day in early 1976.

After the disbandment of Coupla Prog founder members Reiner Niketta and Wolfgang Schindhelm remained in the music business. Reiner Niketta stopped performing but in his academic carrier he has penned many works on music psychology and education not uninfluenced by his many years of experience. Wolfgang Schindhelm crossed over to Jazz and remains active in this direction to the present day.
