This is a live album consisting of recordings from 2001, in the same vein as its predecessor Live 2000.

The Far East is represented by one of the most important pipa (Chinese flute) players: Mu Sat Xizhi sits on his knee on the worn violin sounds, also plays plenty of other instruments from the Middle Kingdom as the large mouth organ Cheng black bamboo, which could come from a science fiction movie, as strange flutes and shawm. On the track “Sommerhopp”, we can hear his voice on what can be called a Chinese rap.

On four tracks we hear “European exotic” sounds. On one hand we have the musical ambassador of Bulgaria in Germany, Stefan Daskalos the gadulka, violin player. On the other, we hear Efgeni Atanasov, bringing a significant gypsy sound from the Black Sea. Stefan’s style is dreamy melancholy. Efgeni, only 20 years old, embodies his wildness riddled with magic tricks.

Also for the first time with Embryo on an album is the guitarist Atze Wehmeier, the founding member of Missus Beastly. He has taught generations of string players, including the bassist Jens Pollheide who appears with his bizarre flute improvisations here.

Worth mentioning is that there are four percussionists on the album, Embryo alternates between them on each piece.

Just two days after the shock of September 11, Embryo was in concert where Afghan and US musicians were present. “No War” is the clear message, Afghanistan being one of the most beautiful countries Embryo has experienced.

The double album Istanbul Casablanca – Tour 98 is another document of the band’s live performances.

Sound is of varying quality but the performances are lovely. As always a wide variety of influences can be heard, but as the title suggests, the music from Turkey and Morocco stands in the spotlight.

On several tracks Embryo is joined by the Turkish band Oriental Wind. “Istanbul Suite” is based on a famous Turkish folk melody, but it has been turned into a great jam with a prominent role for Oriental Wind’s percussion player Okay Temiz.

“All Alone” is a beautiful ballad showing once more that boundaries between jazz and ethnic music are not necessarily existent. It features great solos for flute, vibes and clarinet among others. Most of the second disc contains music recorded on their Moroccan journey reporting the intense collaboration with Mahmoud Gania.

There are also a few tracks with Chinese master musician Xizhi Nie on erhu and one poorly recorded track features the outstanding lyra player Ross Daly.

Line-up:
- Christian Burchard / percussion, santour
- Roberto Licci / tambourine, vocals
- Xizhi Nie / flute, erhu, scheng
- Yulius Golombeck / oud
- Lothar Stahl / percussion, marimba

(Review from gnosis2000.net)

In the second half of the 80s, the band focused on African (percussive) music as can be heard on this live album.

The “Talking-Drum”-Ensemble Yoruba Dun Dun Orchestra stands in the spotlight for about half of the album. Also featured is the Morrocan singer and gembri player El Hussaine Kili.

The highlight of the album is “Sawaba”, a typical Embryo jam uniting all kinds of ethnic influences in a beautiful way.

Line-up:
- El Hussaine Kili / gembri, vocals
- Christian Burchard / vibes, hackbrett, pilala
- Chris Karrer / saxophone, oud, vocals
- Michi Wehmeyer / piano, organ
- Dieter Serfas / drums

(Review from amazon)

This recording is like a carnaval…many exotic sounds and unusual instrumentation even by Embryos’ standards. There are a lot of musicians in different studios in dates ranging from 1979 to 1982… a number of composers and several live recordings.

Disc 1 is more cohesive, Roman Bunka writes and sings the 1st song and the title track and others…expirimental, interesting world fusion true to Embryos’ moniker (in a state of growth) forming as it forms. The title track with its cool off beat tempo, flute, sax, acoustic guitar, oud, percussion and a killer bass part is the center-piece.

Disc 2 highlights include “El Moro”, pure gypsy manna delivered ala Chris Karrer on guitar, and Bunka on oud with flute, trumpet, trombone and percussion with a mid-eastern flavor. “Wasserrader” was recorded in Egypt with Sehnap Eizard singing in a foriegn dialect, very sexy, female vocal… The keyboard makes you feel like your on the back of a camel in the cool desert moonlight with the breeze in your face.

Being a hodge-podge of recordings, this uneven album will have its own ups and downs for every listener.

Line-up:

With “Life” Embryo takes their adventurous nature with world music to the extreme.

Much of this album sounds like it was recorded by Indian musicians, rather than jazz-fusion Germans. Although the famous jazz sax player Charlie Mariano is sitting in on this set, you also have the “Karnataka College of Percussion” providing a thick bed of Indian percussion. Since Embryo is a band lead by a jazz drummer that went rock in the 1970s, this thick percussion sound works with the Embryo band concept.

This is the band, as explorers of world music, with jazz icing on the cake. The recording is clean and sharp, and the orchestrated plethoria of drums represents itself well.

Embryo’s more extreme, purist world musical experiments ended up influencing a lot more followers of this genre than they are given credit for.

Line-up:
- Christian Burchard / electric vibraphone (A1/2, B2), marimbaphone (B2)
- Edgar Hofmann / Soprano saxophone (A1/2, B2)
- Friedo Josh / flute (A1/2, B2)
- Charlie Mariano / Soprano saxophone (A1, B2)

Apo-Calypso continues in the same vein as Embryo’s previous albums, the first half of the album features refined fusion with funk influences, although “Endless Feeling” ends rather surprisingly with electronic impressionistic soundscapes.

The second half of the album consists of two long tracks: “Amnesty Total” is a beautiful nine-minute jazz rock track with an almost Canterburian vibe. Edgar Hofmann plays several good flute solos. The other track is a 14 minute trip into ethnic fusion with Trilok Gurtu on tablas and Shoba Gurta on vocals and tamboura.

Line-up:
- Roman Bunka / vocals, veena, oud, guitars
- Christian Burchard / vocals, organ, electric vibes & marimbas
- Butze fischer / drums, percussion
- Uwe Müllrich / bass
- Michael Wehmayer / keyboards
with
- Edgar Hofmann / flutes (5)
- Shoba Gurtu / vocals, tamboura (6)
- Trilok Gurtu / tabla (6)

Track List:
01. Break Into Pieces – 4:45
02. Endless Feeling – 7:21
03. Together – 5:42
04. Knast-Funk – 5:58
05. Amnesty Total – 9:11

(Review from krautrockgroup)

‘Bad Heads and Bad Cats’ marks Embryo’s first release on April Records, an independent label which the group founded along with members of fellow German bands. The label was started with the intent of allowing the individual bands to record creative music independently and without the constant interference of a major record company.

The music here, while staying somewhat true to the groups avant garde nature, is a combination of funky jazz rock and ethnic influences. Embryo is led by the duo of Burchard and Bunka, resulting in longtime member Edgar Hoffman’s demotion to guest.

‘Bad Heads’ leads off with ‘Layed Back’, an average jazz rocker with a funky beat. Things pick up with ‘Nina Kupenda’, a 12-minute excursion into funky jazz tainted with ethnic percussion containing numerous solo sections. Following this is ‘Bad Heads’, an off the wall jazz rocker with a psychedelic flair. This track features some unique guitar work, a great ethnic percussion solo and a nice vocal performance from Maria Archer. ‘Road Song’ returns to a light jazz rock sound comparable to ‘Layed Back’, however, ‘Road Song’ is highlighted by simultaneous guitar and keyboard solos. ‘After The Rain’ is a fast paced jazzy instrumental featuring solid bass playing underneath catchy piano and flute solos. This is followed by the instrumental ‘Klondyke-Netti’. Driven by a moody bass and awkward minimalist electronic sounds, ‘Klondyke’ sounds like a predecessor to the quirky electronic instrumentals heard on Eno’s ‘Music For Film Vol. 1′. Finally, the album closes with the short experimental ‘Tag X’.

As a bonus, the edition of the album contains the 17-minute ‘Human Contact’, a free flowing jazz number with Eastern influenced saxophone and organ sections.

Line-up:
- Maria Archer / vocals, percussion
- Roman Bunka / vocals, guitar
- Christian Burchard / drums, vibes, marimba, vocals
- Edgar Hofmann / Soprano saxophone, flute
- Charlie Mariano / Alto & Soprano saxes, flute
- Dieter Miekautsch / keyboards
- Uve Mullrich / bass

Track List:
01. Layed Back – 5:38
02. Nina Kupenda – 12:09
03. Bad Heads – 4:09
04. Road Song – 6:17
05. After the Rain – 6:17
06. Klondyke Netti – 6:35
07. Tag X – 1:44
08. Human Contact (Bonus) – 16:56

Request of “Old Man”.

(Review from progarchives.com)

“Rocksession” is another album consisting of material they recorded during sessions between 1971 and 1972. Actually the band was planning to release this stuff already in 1972. But their record company UA was not pleased by it, so they recorded first Father, Son & Holy Ghosts and the songs from these sessions have been used for this album here and Steig aus. The line-up is almost identical on these two albums, with the difference that Sigi Schwab was replacing Roman Bunka on guitar. It’s rather a very interesting one who is deeply into typical jazz-rock in the Krautrock vein.

The opener A place to go is a very orientally influenced piece with marimbas, keys, electric guitar, percussion and very “kraut-ish” sounding vocals. Really great stuff and anyone loving this sub-genre will be fascinated by it. Entrances, the longest track is dominated by Schwab’s excellent jazzy guitar before Hammond is taking over. The work of the rhythm section is as well just awesome. It’s a highly jazzy piece on an album that is probably the most jazzy one of their three session records, no wonder since jazz pianist Mal Waldron was involved in three of the four tracks as a composer. In the last third of the track there is an excellent sax solo by Hofmann. This one is for sure the highlight of the album.

Second side of the record is the more relaxing and soaring one starting with Warm canto, a very soft and mellow track played on vibes, keys, violin and percussion plus electric guitar and piano by Waldron in its second half. Although being a rather quiet song in the beginning it’s revealing a fascinating development in its course. Last one Dirge is starting as well with a highly soaring atmosphere with vibes, guitar and then violin and e-piano. As on the whole album the bass and drum work is again excellent. Also this song is developing after a while to a fascinating one.

Line-up:
- Christian Burchard / drums
- Jörg Evers / bass
- Edgar Hofmann / saxophone, violin
- Jimmy Jackson / organ
- Dave King / bass
- Siegfried Schwab / guitar
- Mal Waldron / electric piano

Track List:
01. A Place To Go (4:25)
02. Entrances (15:35)
03. Warm canto (10:07)
04. Dirge (9:35)

In 1969 and psychedelic rock hit Germany, and Munich, and when it did, Burchard was swept up into its philosophy wholehardedly. Abandoning his jazz roots, he hung out with the Amon Duul commune of freaked out musicians (He even plays on Phallus Dei, Amon Duul’s first album). After Burchard became aware of the new music, he recruited Edgar Hofmann, who plays Reeds, flutes and violin, and is the only other constant name seen with Embryo over the years.

With Burchard on drums, Hofmann on sax, a monster bass player, and the guitarist from Ten Years After (John Kelly), Embryo gave birth to their first album. Most of the music from 1969-1970 in Germany, sounds deeply influenced by either Zappa, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, or the Canterbury sound. Embryo’s Opal sounds, if nothing else, like Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew, with a touch of “Can” thrown in. And that’s a good thing. Almost the whole album is instrumental. “End of Soul” is a cool, spoken word eulogy for the death of soul music. Opal’s psychedelia paints with the palette of free jazz, and bebop, and not just blues, 50s rock or Fluxus/Musique Concrete like most acid music. Edgar Hofmann’s Sax work comes across singular, and beautiful. The world music influences have not yet touched the band here, as it would later on. John Kelly’s guitar work compliments the others perfectly, and gives the band that cool rock and roll edge.

There is 29 minutes of bonus music, from an early session with the bass player from Amon Duul, Hofmann’s Sax, and Burchard’s drums. The 26+ minutes of jamming included here, displays Embryo in its fetal stage of developement, before Fischer and Kelly joined.

Take the embryonic step, to discover the birth of this fantastic band.

Line-up:
- Christian Burchard / drums, vocals
- Ralph Fischer / bass, vocals (1 to 8)
- Edgar Hofmann / saxophone, flute, percussion
- John Kelly / guitar, vocals
with
- Bettsy Alleh / vocals
- Roberto Detree / motocello
- Lothar Meid / bass (9-10)
- Holger Trulsch / bongos

01. Opal (2:41)
02. You Don’t Know What’s Happening (4:48)
03. Revolution (4:32)

Somewhere in the musical cavern sandwiched between perhaps Amon Düül II and Miles Davis lies a very underrated band from Germany called Embryo. This is not prototypical German underground prog but very much eastern world influenced raga psych progressive rock (best way I can describe). Embryo utilize a fantastic range of instruments with marimba, vibraphone, flutes, saxophone, violin, a very versatile percussion arsenal on hand.

After their Rache album, Embryo will go in a frenzy recording three albums worth of music in 8 months time but their label only released this one as the rest was deemed too uncommercial for release.

“Father Son & Holy Ghosts” is the third album released by Embryo and marks for this music lover one of the finest pieces of work to have come out of Germany in 1972. It is well in the line of their first two, ever diving deeper into eastern influences producing some of the earliest examples of fusion music (ethnic folk & jazz-prog) much worth the investigation.

Line-up:
- Christian Burchard / drums, vibes, percussion, marimbaphone, vocals
- Edgar Hofmann / violin, soprano saxophone
- David King / bass, flute, alto marimba, vocals
- Sigi Schwab / acoustic & electric guitars, veena, tarang

Track List:
01. The Special Trip (5:56)
02. Nightmares (0:58)
03. King Insano (4:48)
04. Free (6:19)
05. The Sun Song (8:48)

Embryo (not to be confused with Italian and Swedish death metal bands of the same name) are a musical collective from Munich who, lead by former R&B and jazz organist Christian Burchard, boast the participation of some 400+ musicians since their beginnings in 1970. Over the years, the band went from classic space rock to jazz fusion, then Burchard soon started travelling the world and recording LPs with African bands and Middle Eastern musicians.

In 1978 Embryo embarked an ambitious touring performance and recording trip to the Middle East via Afghanistan and Pakistan to India. The trip lasted nearly two years and , was documented on hundreds of hours of tape. As a result of this journey, the band released “Embryo’s Reise” (1979), a document on their experiences in Asia, a pioneering effort in the addition of ethnic elements into rock, and a sample of exciting live and studio recordings.

This is a nearly perfect fusion of western and eastern music. It has a session character because most of it is improvised. The recordings are made in many different places with many different musicians, but the athmosphere is very unique.

Line-up:
- Roman Bunka / guitar, vocals, bass, piano, guitar synth, drums, oud (1.7/3, 2.1/4/5/6)
- Christian Burchard / vocals, drums, synth-vibes, percussion, tamtam, marimbaphone, pianet (all)
