You see, my friend had the quite bonkers idea of sampling the drum solo from 'Dream of a Drummer' and turning it into a Fat Boy Slim type big beat rave tune. As I entered his rather musty hippy home he thrust a copy of McChurch's Delusion LP into my hand saying, 'Man you got to listen to this man, its going make me a fortune!'. I asked Martin to write a piece about it, and here it is: ' About twenty years ago a hippy friend of mine summoned me to his bus he was living on, raving on about some lost heavy nugget he had come across while living in Holland. In the same year as Delusion he recorded a good solo album as 'Marcel', called 'Dreams Consumed' ( link). He was a German singer/songwriter and it's not clear how much other involvement he had in the album. The opening track of the album, 'Delusion', has lyrics credited to Marcel Schaar. Also on board was saxophonist/guitarist Heiner Althaus ( link), who has since played in many big-band ensembles, and drummer Norbert “Nobbi” Jud, later of Monroe. The name of the band seems to have been taken partly from the nickname of singer/flute player Sandy McChurch (real name Sandro Chiesa). It was engineered by the famous Conny Plank (see Vol116 Conny Special) at Star Studio Hamburg. This psych folk underground act is now cult. Their original LP 'Delusion' was released in 1971 on the legendary Pilz label (Popol Vuh, Wallenstein, Witthuser & Westrupp etc).

McChurch Soundroom was an eclectic psych free blues rock ensemble that has close relationships with krautrock, in particular with the heavy, stoned jazzy sound of Nosferatu (see Vol116), but also with folkish bands from England (Jethro Tull first era).
