efore releasing their lone self-titled debut album, one of the most rare rock records
to be released in Europe in the 1970s, Paternoster provided the soundtrack for a
film that could only have been made while the psychedelic movement was still in its
first wave. The groupâ??s first recordings presented here are the soundtrack for
Herbert HolbaÃs 1971 hippie sci-fi film Die Ersten Tage (The First Days), screened at
the Berlin International Film Festival, and interestingly played on
Austrian TV in August of that year.
The material issued here is the genesis of Paternoster and set the stage for the
release of one of the worldâ??s great rock albums with their self-titled debut the fol-
lowing year. The music has been painstakingly transferred directly
from master tapes.
