Wind – Seasons (1971)

Seasons is the first studio album by the German rock band Wind, released by +plus+ label in 1971. They were formed in mid- 60’s in Erlangen under the name Bentox and offering a beat sound. In 1969 they were renamed to Chromosom, this time they added elements from the West Coast sound in their style. By 1970 Bernd Leistner leads the band as a vocalist and the band dramatically changed its sound,now under the name Wind. Their debut Seasons was released in 1971 on the obscure low budget label +Plus+. PA: “This is a prog rock classic from Germany. The debut of Wind is a keyboard orientated work, heavily influenced by the first three albums of Uriah Heep. Nevertheless, they have their own sound, which is more in the underground vein, like many other albums recorded in Germany during the early 70’s. Four of the five band members sing (well) and there is no german accent, typical of many Krautrock bands back then. Wind tried their best to achieve success, and maybe they would if they continued to write and record albums like their debut.” (Wiki, Discogs, Prog Archives).
