Sahara / Sunrise (1974)


Germany

Progressive Rock, Krautrock

Founded in 1966 in Munich, Germany as The Subjects, it disbanded in 1977. The group started to make music again after 2005.

Sahara was a band that produced two albums in the mid-'70s. But Subject Esq. He also recorded and released another album under the name. The band's music is a proto-prog band, reminiscent of Jethro Tull, who rose to prominence in the early '70s, early Yes, and Van Der Graaf Generator, known for their occasional saxophone riff. There are also some space and symphonic parts in Sahara music that remind of Nectar, Genesis and perhaps early Eloy. With the arrival of Hennes Henring, a former member of Out Of Focus, on the keyboards, the band started using the name Sahara with their first album. Long and epic Sunrise, which completely covered the B-side of Long Play, became a minor classic in its own right. Their second album "For All The Clowns" has an overdose of progressive influences, especially Focus, Yes and Caravan.
