müziklerinde mizahı merkeze alan absürd tavırlarıyla dikkati çekerler. bu özellikleriyle krautrock'ın dadaizm'den kökenlenen karanlık tarafına da ışık tutmaktadırlar aslında. bir benzerleri için:

muazzam albümleri ballermann şöyle başlar :

"hhmm, ah, hello my dear friends. here i am again with my music. well, it’s very nice that i can speak to you now from this very fine record. and i am freuing me, that you are freuing you to hear my voice again. isn’t it nice? yes it is. well, i want you to listen to my very new song, wich i have brought along from a trip through africa. and i hope, you like it. do you like it? yes, you do. and also here are ebenfalls some of my very best friends, wich will sing along together with me. come on boys, let‘s sing that the camels are breaking together."

hoş değil mi? evet hoş.. sevdiniz mi? evet sevdiniz...

alman krautrock grubu, 70te kurulup 89da dağılmışlardır. dönemin kendi halinde takılan gruplarından birisidir ve ticari amaçtan çok kendi keyifleri için o kadar albümü yapmışlardır..dırdır... yaratıcı ve muhteşem gitar melodileri, başarılı davul ritimleri, eğlenceli sahne performansları grubun en önemli özellikleridir..19 yılda 15 albüm yayınlamışlar.. bir yes, bir van der graaf generator tadı almak mümkün..

almanya'nın pink floyd'a verdiği en sert cevap şeklinde 1-2 kelam edilmiştir haklarında.sonrasında eloy devralmıştır bu bayrak yarışını.

nedeni bilinmez bir şekilde solar music live albümleri devamlı live at pompeii le karşılaştırılmaktadır.evet cevap serttir ama yeterli etkiyi yaratmaz.
kıyaslandığına göre bunu edineyim bir şekilde diye düşünen ey suser! çok mantıklı bir şey yapıyorsun hastayım sana.
ballermannı yalayıp yuttuğunu varsayarak the missing 13 minutes e bir bakmanı istiyorum.

sahnede ateşle oynamayı seven alman prog rock grubu. eloy kadar olmasa da gayet üst düzey çalışmaları olmuştur. 1978 çıkışlı solar music live ise dönemin en kaliteli canlı performanslarından sayılabilir. ballermann albümündeki versiyonu daha çok sevsem de live olanı daha çok bilinir ve sevilir. şöyle bir eserdir:

progressive rock dünyasını yavaş yavaş tanımış ve hasbelkader yolu buraya düşmüş dinleyici arkadaşlar için söylüyorum: bu grup hakkında tavsiye istiyorsanız, sırayla ballermann 1-2, grobschnitt, rockpommel's land ve solar music live' ı dinleyin. gerisini boşverin.
