The first NIAGARA album – simply
called “NIAGARA” – was released in 1971 and was noticed even by those unfamiliar
with Niagrara’s music due to the controversial “sweaty breasts” album cover.
The album was unusual not only because of its cover. It was a purely percussive
album on which numerous high-profile drummers from around the world came
together; Americans Cotch Blackmon and George Green, Englishman Keith Forsey,
Juan Romero from Venezuela and the German musicians Udo Lindenberg and Daniel
Fichelscher (who also played in Gila, Amon Düül II and Popol Vuh).

This was more a project than an
actual band formed by German jazz drum legend Klaus Weiss. He formerly worked
with another jazz legend from his mother country, Klaus Doldinger and gained
fame in the German jazz circuit of the 60s and 70s. His 1971 works with NIAGARA
was the offspring of the vision to create an orchestra made entirely of drummers
and percussionists. Despite the fact that there is definitely no regular melody
instrument to be heard on this album, the two lengthy compositions are arranged
in such an enthralling way, that they have a rather catchy and memorable feel.
Among the cult drummers featured on this album are Udo Lindenberg (yes, this
icon of German rock and pop started as a drummer!) and session hero Keith
Forsey. So what both compositions offer is an ever pulsating rhythm inferno, a
maelstrom of different grooves and sounds. If you go for this album to find some
pop tunes, you better change your mind. If you wish to be enchanted and
hypnotized by a massive wall of percussion sounds and be dragged deeper and
deeper into a state of trance, which is utterly addictive, you are welcome. This
album goes deeper as most psychedelic rock with dreamy melodies and heavy organ
work. You cannot compare it to anything else, so open your mind for the ultimate
rhythm experience and join in if you dare. Only if you dare. (preschmedia .
