This album was released in 1984 by the group Sioux, consisting of Tommy Westrich (guitar), Alf Schneider (drums, percussion), and Rolf-Dieter Schnapka (bass), who operated in the rural town of Oberalben, Germany. Sioux is a completely mysterious group, but their album incorporates various styles while delivering technical jazz-rock, typical of a local band, with tracks like the brisk Brazilian-flavored rhythms of A3/A5 and the high-speed slap bass showcased in B3. It's an extremely obscure piece that serves as a fascinating relic of its time. There are still plenty of interesting finds out there.
