Cornucopia (6)

Cornucopia was a short-lived, German complex rock and fusion band with a big sound, outrageous songs in a Zappa-esque manner, and dense musical textures comparable to Amon Düül II, close to Nine Days Wonder, Gnidrolog and Grobschnitt, with an instrumental flair recalling Thirsty Moon. It all started in 1972, when the members gathered in Hamburg. While guitarist, keyboard player and singer Christoph Hardwig wrote all the songs, their producer Jochen Petersen, a former member of Ikarus (4), Randy Pie and A.R. & Machines, also played a role by adding saxophone, flute and guitar to their ony album, the 1973 Full Horn. As it was a commercial failure, the band called it quits the following year.
