NIKOLAUS UTERMÖHLEN - Karlsbad LP synth Circling these core motifs areThis is the reissue of Nikolaus Utermhlens Karlsbad album, originally released in 1989. Utermhlen was a founding member of Die Tdliche Doris and this is his sole solo release. A collection of 23 witty oddball compositions for clarinet, accordion, percussion, recorder, violin, guitar, organ. It definitely has a Doris dose but even more so it shines for its totally singular mlange of tribal dada chamber folk, dilettante dissonant poetry, hard to compare
