CD reissue of the debut by this 70's Kraut Rock legend from Germany who were strongly connected to the band Pell mell. Excellent hard Prog/Psych with long guitar journeys akin to late 60's work by acts like Vanilla Fudge/Deep Purple. The album has the great production values of Dieter Dierks and was originally released on Bacillus. A digi pack artwork re-creates the original sleeve.

Strongly interconnected with fellow Marburg band Pell Mell, though the musical connection is not always so obvious, Frame exhibited a style that had very little in common with them really, being much more influenced by the late-60's heavy psychedelia and blues rock by the likes of Deep Purple or Vanilla Fudge. Only some of the rhythmic structures hinted at the Pell Mell connection. Mixing in folky styles and progressive touches into their heavy rock style, their sole album "Frame of Mind" bore the unmistakable stamp of Dieter Dierks at the mixing desk, with great use of dynamics and stereo dimension. Really varied, steering away from the mainstream of early-70's rock, with many classic moves and excellent vocals, all giving it that something special, it's an album that's still amazingly fresh even today. Andy Kirnberger was a featured guest on early Pell Mell albums, after Frame's demise he went on to the vastly inferior Hardcake Special whilst Cherry Hochdorfer and Wolfgang Klaus moved to Pell Mell.
