Sun
S.u.n.
Sun from Hettenleidelheim near Eisenberg in the Palatinate were founded under the name of Punished Sun in 1969 and shortened their name to Sun in 1974. They played progressive rock with slight Zappa and jazz influences; the singing, however, is in parts a bit silly. In that very year of 1974 they filled with two long tracks a whole side of the double LP "Proton 1" (Kerston 65017), on which also the bands Zyma, Andorra, Penicillin, and Nexus are to be heard. In 1980 Sun finally released their first LP which contained exclusively self-written tracks, in an edition of 1000 copies. The brimful CD at hand contains this complete LP, drawn from the master tape, and as bonus tracks the two Proton tracks, two as yet unreleased pieces from rehearsals as well as two later studio recordings also as yet unreleased.
