Roland Kovac New Set - Love That (Reissue) (1972/2002)

Roland Kovac (born 1927, Vienna, Austria) is best known to Krautrock people for his Munich based Roland Kovac New Set, featuring many well-known and talented international session musicians.

These days, such albums are generally sought after for featuring Sigi Schwab in their ranks, notable for his work with Et Cetera and Embryo.

Psychedelic keyboards galore -- and rare sound library set that mixes the electric piano with the heady organ of Brian Auger -- both jamming here in a batch of long tracks with plenty of freaky production touches!

On a much smaller scale than projects like Niagara or Nowy, the New Set did play a similar sort of music, if a little more low-key and easy going.

Roland's keyboard style has a very Dauner edge to it, and Siggi noodles really nicely on the side-long opus that covered side 1 of THE MASTER SAID. The next record LOVE THAT featured a more Krautrock oriented collection of musicians, and a rare session example of Brian Auger, and is a less-jazzy more sedate offering.

The main reason for such albums being so obscure is that Selected Sound was a "library" label, for media (film and TV) use, and not normally for sale to the public. Albums from 1974 onwards are said to be more conventional, with shorter tracks.
