FLAMING GNOMES

HAUSFRAUEN EXPERIMENT
Fruits de Mer Records severely tests the limits of its sixties/early seventies psych/prog/krautrock agenda and completely blows its budget with a double 7" release from Hausfrauen Experiment

Featuring
Oscillations, originally by Silver Apples
Spirit of the Age, originally by Hawkwind
Babys' On Fire, originally by Eno
Sebastian, originally by Cockney Rebel
