This was the second record on the Cosmic Couriers Ohr offshoot. Cope claims that Golowin was a Swiss MP, but his wikipedia page suggest that he worked for the government in some capacity but then contradicts itself a bit later. He was "in" with the Timothy Leary crowd and thus by extension the Kaiser crew. Here he teams up with some of Ash Ra Tempel and Wallenstein to make the frankly bonkers Lord Krishna von Goloka.
This LP is three tracks, two long, one short - the basic idea being cosmic meanderings with interjections (in German) by Golowin. He goes on a bit. It might well be interesting poetry but I can't understand it nor can I find any translations anywhere.
There's not much to say about it - it's an okay record. The two long tracks are too long and too meandering to be of any real interest and pretty much follow the cosmic jokers approach. The short track, however, is fantastic and a real reason to check this record out (or maybe not). Light guitar strumming with wibbly synth noises in the background - he even sounds less bonkers on this than the other tracks.
So is it worth buying this record for this track alone - well no. Not because the tracks pants, but I would much rather have the Cosmic Jokers cash in comp that this track is on - at least it's a bit more varied and less preachy. So there we go Sergius - somewhat boring but with a good heart.
