a super trip psychedelic vintage cucumber

We've been waiting all week for something fun to show up and right from the name 'Vintage Cucumber' it's a good bet this was going to be it or just nuts in the extreme (it's a bit of both come to think of it).
'Vintage Cucumber' is actually the working name for Johannes Schulz who is a law unto himself as can be seen from the above photo of a Vintage Cucumber, he's also from Templin, Germany. And Johannes does a neat line in something he calls Super Trip Love Kraut Psychedelic. And who are we to argue. His back catalogue of albums is monstrous, just check them out at his bandcamp site and for his latest sampler album he's done a split release with a new Mexican space rock band called The Holy Cosmos. What's more he's letting you name your own price for any of his stuff. This guy is making music for the love of it.
This is the first track from the album and is just one load of brilliant space rock lasting 8 minutes called "Mutterherz" which to you and me means "Mother's Heart" part of which the lyrics are -

I want to know
Where to go
Where to find the sunlight...

Don´t you know
Where to go
Find the light in the sun night....

I want to know
Where to go
Where to find the sunlight...

Don´t you know
Where to go
White the light in the sun night...

But it's fairy unlikely you'll be able to make any of them out during the track such is the super drenched psychedelic groove of it all.
It's a piece of a classic space rock that feels like it should have existed way before now.
