Vogel - Singles 1979-1982 (Swiss Art Rock)

Vogel - Singles
Switzerland 1979-1982

- 1st (Sunrise Record 1979)
- 2nd (Recommended Records 1980)
- RER Sampler Compilation Track (1982)

Vogel was a obscure Swiss group lead by recording engineer Robert Vogel. Working in similar territory as groups like Faust, Art Bears, Neu!, Honeymoon Killers, & Aksak Maboul. There really isn't much information on this band out there, as far as I know they may have just been a studio group of Robert Vogel's.

Robert Vogel's Recording Engineer credits include Liliput, Anthony Moore, Grauzone, Art Bears, Fred Frith, Art Fleury, Honeymoon Killers, Art Zoyd, & Red Crayola With Art And Language to name a few!

I've also included their track on the 1982 RER Sampler compilation 2xLp. This was how I first heard the group and spent years trying to find more recordings. Its like a mixture of Faust, Silver Apples and Suicide, its that good!

Highly Recommended

I corresponded with Vogel a few years back discussing a potential reissue. He has some great unreleased stuff too. But I lost touch with him. If you read this, write me back!

Great post! 2 corrections, however:

1979 single: B-side title is "Bananas Gaa" (not "Gas")

1980 single: you've got the song titles reversed. Song listed as "Guten Morgen" is actually "Arschloch" and vice versa

BTW, your Headless Chickens rip sounds so much better than my Flying Nun CD version
