Space Debris are a german band whose music will transport you back 30 years to the pioneering days of Krautrock and Progressive influenced Psychedelia. Influences range from Amon Düül and Can on the one hand to a psychedelicious take on the Santana, Allman Brothers, and early Deep Purple stylings.

"Space Debris create a dazzling and complicated blend of 70's style classic rock jams, Krautrock, space rock, psychedelia and fusion jazz. It's mostly instrumental, with tracks often stretching into the 15 and 20-minute range, but never seeming that long, and the musicianship, I have to say, is outstanding on every level. Space Debris are best in the environment of their extended pieces, which give all the players a chance to stretch out and really do some exploring, and explore they do. The band has a beautiful sense of drama as they build their pieces from simple beginnings through numerous twists and turns to spectacular conclusions without things ever once sounding disjointed. It all flows so naturally, it's a pleasure to hear such complicated music played with such obvious ease and enjoyment." (Jeff Fitzgerald from Aural Innovations #40 sept. 2008)

Space Debris biography from www.progarchives.com

SPACE DEBRIS hail from the Odenwald region in Germany. The members' main concern is to play improvised music reminiscent to 70s krautrock and psychedelic bands. The group started as a trio comprised of Tommy Gorny (guitar), Tom Kunkel (Hammond organ) and Christian Jäger (drums). Supported by many friends having guest appearances they already could produce six albums starting with the year 2002. Their first one was the self-released double LP 'Krautrocksessions 1994-2001' consisting of early impressions mainly deriving from 1998/99 recordings. The Hammond is the main reason for a wide range of styles given within their explorations, also including bluesy and jazzy themes as well as heavy prog. Another double LP named 'Kraut Lok' followed in 2005. SPACE DEBRIS deliver jam sessions on a high level - no wonder that they are welcome guests on diverse German festivals like Zappanale in the meanwhile. Recordings from the Burg Herzberg Festival appearance in 2006 were released on CD and DVD under the title 'Into The Sun'. The line-up remained to be stable during some years but after the triple LP release 'Elephant Moon' (2008) a major change occured. Bass player Peter Brettel joined the band and Winnie Rimbach-Sator (Karmic Society, Obskuria) substituted Tom Kunkel at the keyboards after some successful live performances. Several excerpts were taken for 'Live Ghosts' which finally saw the light of day in May 2009. If you're keen on ambitious jamming music you should check out SPACE DEBRIS by all means!

First DLP "Krautrock-Sessions 1994-2001" is a self released double-LP on 140 gr. vinyl.
“Especially when you're a real lover of music or a musician yourself, you usually try to keep some kind of a "professional distance" when reviewing music. In the case of Space Debris' "Krautrock-Sessions 1994-2001" I was simply unable to do so. I had heard one of their tunes on a compilation CD before, and this was a tune I was listening twice before playing on that CD. When I heard the complete work under my headphones for the first time I had a feeling of happiness that I didn't have for more than thirty years when listening to music. On one hand this had surely something to do with my very personal and individual perception of music and my previous listening experience. But on the other hand I felt that there's something special about this music also "objectively". The more I listen to this music the more I think that it is some kind of a "missing link" between the original "genuine" Krautrock of the late Sixties and early Seventies and the repertoire of the international music of that time that the Sixties and Seventies German Rock bands wanted to become a part of. The original German Krautkrock was signified through the fact that it largely failed its objective and thus was able to create something completely new. It was the almost dialectical tension between what the members of the original Krautrock bands wanted to play and what they could achieve what made this kind of music "kosmisch" and partly even revolutionary. You have to remember that the members of the original Krautrock bands were a part of the very first adult generation born after the war had ended, which as the whole period of the Third Reich - besides all other criminal and obscene facts - was also signified by Hitler's embargo of foreign culture for the German people. So, as in literature and in the painting arts the German post war musicians had to keep up with their international colleagues, a process that from then on became a part of any kind of specifically "German" culture. In popular music it was the band Lake that from about 1980 on proved that German musicians could unquestionably match international standards, and this was also the definite end of Krautrock in it's original meaning. Quite recently some German bands started to adopt the nimbus of "Kraut" again, and the results were, in some cases even charming, examples of musical inability. In this situation Space Debris appeared with their self released double-LP on extra-heavy vinyl, a superb natural sound quality achieved with the help of two, three and four track recordings, build up of traces of Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Santana, the Allman Brothers and many more, and still completely distinct and individual. They don't sound like any German Seventies band but nevertheless present undoubtedly Krautrock. It feels as if Krautrock has finally come to itself, and this is what I called an enigmatic wonder in the last sentence of the introduction. To get your copy you can go to one of the Internet mail order stores who carry it or you can email Christian Jäeger, the drummer of the band at info@spacedebrisprojekt.de. Stay tuned. See you next time!” Frank Gingeleit (Frank Gingeleit/Modern Dance)
