Chorallas - Desert Kangaroos (1970) [Full Album]

Chorallas, a fictional band formed in the suburbs of Amsterdam in 1968, was founded by university students Jan van der Meer (guitar, vocals) and Klaus Weber (drums). The duo soon recruited bassist Pieter Jansen and synthesizer virtuoso Erik Dekker, whom they met while playing in local jazz clubs. The band's name has two interesting origins: In Berber language, "Chorallas" means "dreams of the desert," which the band discovered during van der Meer's transformative summer trip to Morocco. Additionally, the name was partially inspired by the Charollais sheep, known for their resilience and adaptation to harsh environments – qualities that the band felt reflected their musical philosophy of surviving and thriving in the challenging landscape of experimental music. The band's signature sound was characterized by their use of vintage Moog synthesizers and handcrafted effect pedals, creating warm, retro textures. They were known for their improvisational approach, rarely playing the same song the same way twice in live performances. Incorporating African percussion, funk rhythms, and cinematic transitions, Chorallas set themselves apart from other psychedelic rock groups of the era. Their lyrics often explored themes of desert life, nomadism, and existential questions, while some compositions remained purely instrumental. In the early 1970s, they cultivated a small but devoted following across Europe. As progressive rock gained popularity, they expanded their sound to include more complex compositions while maintaining their experimental edge. The underground music press dubbed them "the Pink Floyd of the desert," though their sound remained distinctly their own.
