Osmose is a recording from German rock band Annexus Quam. This 4-song gem was remastered and reissued in 1995 courtesy of Spalax Music.
Annexus Quam were from Kamp-Lintfort, a suburb of Dusseldorf. Their music can best be described as an avant garde mixture of mixed jazz, rock and psychedelia. They began playing hippie rock in late 1967 under the name of Ambition of Music. The following year they added members from a local evangelical brass band causing them to experiment with jazz. In late 1969 the group changed its name to Annexus Quam which translates roughly to 'connection how'. This name is a reference to their new take on music which blended various musical forms ranging from conventional to abstract. In 1970 they recorded and released as a 7 piece group "Osmose", which was one of the first albums on the newly founded Ohr label. By the time they recorded "Beziehungen" in 1972, they had slimmed down to a 5 piece band. Not much is known about the groups demise. "Osmose" is a fusion of rock and jazz with doses of the avant garde and psychedelia thrown in for good measure. A very trippy album, the use of effects and the loose jazz drumming create a sound somewhere between 'Phallus Dei'-era Amon Duul II, Faust, and Kollectiv. The last side long piece on the album is the standout track. With its interplay between guitar and sax, the droning vocals (Amon Duul II style!), jazz bass and piano, Annexus Quam create an unheard of music from another world. You recognize all the parts, but when they are put together they create something entirely different. The band went on to record one more album, but this was in a free-jazz style and only slightly hints at the music on this Ohr classic.
