Twenty Sixty Six and Then (Heavy prog. rock / Germany)

Twenty Sixty Six and Then made one of the most touted of heavy psychedelic Krautrock albums, Reflections… took the atypical Kraut hard-rock style, added some Zappa touches, riffing aggression of the heavy Bacillus-label bands, and even some off-the-wall electronics.


The group created this uncommon name by adding thousand years to the historic battle of Hastings in 1066. Unfortunately, their lifespan was rather short, from Spring 1971 to Summer 1972.
Their one and only album is nothing short of an all time classic. Reflections On The Future (1972), recorded during Autumn 1971 at the Dierks Studio, Stommeln near Cologne. This album contained long heavy progressive tracks with a dramatic mood and a quite unique German styling. "At My Home", a fast tempo opener, kicked off the album with stunning heavy guitars, swirling hammond organs and Geff Harrison's great, though slightly soul influenced vocals. The track "Autumn" brought in the topics of death and desintergration. The melancholic lyrics predated Pink Floyd's "Time".
