Originally released in on famous German Pilz Label Thoughts was the second and last album of a band which is often regarded as one of the most legendary krautrock bands. While 1st album Revelation was full of inventions and surprises within long tracks with extensive guitar workout, swirling organ and lots of improvisations, "Thoughts" showed a different style to the debut.

With two different lead vocalist Jurgen Schafer and Werner Vogt Virus music was now more song oriented, more hard-rock and blues focused. That meant a step towards more song oriented Frumpy, but with a wild psychedelic edge and lyrics about drugs and paranoia, close to Pilz label-mates Dies Irae. Album comes with detailed liner notes by Virus-Singer also bass and guitar Werner Vogt. For the first time officially released on vinyl.

My least favourite track is "Rock 'N' Roll", a very bluesy tune with vocals and lots of organ and drums. My favourites are the last two songs. Nice bass too. The guitar joins in a minute later. They just jam here for a considerable amount of time. Just a great sound. This is the longest track at over 10 minutes and there's some really good jamming going on here.

Good song. So a pretty good live record but i'll stick to their studio albums. Despite being German and existing in the early seventies, this is more modern hard rock than it is progressive or Krautrock. The sound quality is pretty good for a live album, although the Garden of Delights reissue is surely cleaned up from the original vinyl which I have not had the pleasure to hear, but is a reasonable assumption anyway.

The title track has some great guitar licks all through the song, including an extended instrumental piece. The band has a tendency to lay into longish jams all through the album, not surprising considering the times and the fact that they were in stage at the time.

The last of these sounds a bit like the heavier parts of the first couple of Chicago albums, mostly thanks to the saxophone and keyboards. But the tunes are all originals, the sonic quality of the music is quite good, even for , and folks who get into long jamming heavy rock will probably dig this album a fair bit. Three solid stars for sure, and recommended mostly to fans of bands like Uriah Heep, Cactus, Colosseum — stuff like that.

So don't expect very original music. What you get is great heavy psychedelic rock played by accomplished musicians. The vocals aren't very good, but on the other hand there is not much singing on this album anyway. An enjoyable album. Review by hdfisch Prog Reviewer. In the early 90's race to release rare German from the early 70's, three labels raged on: Repertoire with their big means, they managed most of Phillips and subsidiary Vertigo and much more outside the country , Ohrwaschl who released the legendary Ohr label as well as the other legendary label Kuckuck and Second Battle, who always seemed to get the second choice material getting stuck with Light Of Darkness, King Ping Meh and Gift.

Lately of course, Garden Of Delights have been taking most of the cake, serving us a bunch of goodies a few less ripe though , but when comparing labels specializing into German re-issues, Second Battle always seems to get the lesser ones. This quintet recorded just two albums, this debut by excellent producer Konrad Plank in Munich - where so much of Germany's "spacier" rock was being recorded. You might want to think of a cross of Floyd for the heavy freak-out bouts with some early 70's UK heavy progressive between Purple Jon Lord for the organs and early Sabbath Geezer Butler on bass , or Raw Material.
