Karat - Karat

Vg+/vg+ | For fans of well-made melodic light-prog who don't mind a little straightforward rock mixed in, Karat may be for you. Karat is an East German band that scored notable success outside its homeland, particularly in West Germany. The band began life in 1975 as a spin-off of Panta Rhei, the influential East German combo whose singer, Veronika Fischer, went on to have a succesful solo career in East (and after 1980, West) Germany. After some early personnel changes, a five-player line-up emerged: keyboardist and composer Ullrich "Ed" Swillms, singer Herbert Dreilich, Bernd Römer (guitar), Henning Protzmann (bass), and Michael Schwandt (drums). Karat's eponymous first album, released in 1978, it contained the standout "König der Welt" (King of the World), which pointed the band in a more progressive direction.
