El grupo originalmente se formó en 1968, con el nombre de The Guru Guru Groove Band, y comenzó como un proyecto de Mani Neumeier, el bajista Uli Trepte y el guitarrista Edy Nageli, quien más tarde fue reemplazado por Ax Grenich (exintegrante de Agitation Free, otro grupo de krautrock).
After Kennedy collapsed on stage due to a serious illness, Ax Genrich replaced him to complete the classic Guru Guru line up, in time for their debut album in 1970. [1]
Ax Genrich, born 24 March 1945, is a German guitarist who went all experimental after getting involved in the primordial Krautrock scene, briefly with Agitation Free after which he then joined the legendary Guru Guru and stayed with them 1970-1974.
Krautrock • Germany. "We`re not cosmic rock, we`re comic rock." A free form jazz mentality, avoiding musical clichés and commercialism, has always characterized the music and philosophies of German freak `n roll band GURU GURU who have categorically occupied their own special stage within the realms of modern music.
After losing guitarist Ax Genrich to Guru Guru in 1970 (Genrich having replaced Kramer the same year) and drummer Franke to Tangerine Dream in 1971, the band recruited Jörg "Joshi" Schwenke (guitar), Burghard Rausch (drums) and Michael Hoenig (keyboards).
In 1970, Ludwig Kramer left and was replaced by Ax Genrich. Likewise, Christoph Franke left this year to join Tangerine Dream (who, like Ash Ra Tempel, shared practice space with Agitation Free). To replace these losses, the group recruited Jörg Schwenke and Gerd Klemke.
The heavy distorted guitar of Ax Genrich is the main attraction, but in the rhythm section the drums of Mani Neumeier are starting to show his tremendous talent. On 'Hinten' the band introduces more composed parts, but the largely structured riffing of follow-up 'Kanguru' is still quite far away.
