Kritik Rockpalast Auftritt Bonn 12/2005
... Dann wurde es Zeit für Peter Bursch und seine Bröselmaschine. Was das Publikum genau erwarten sollte, war zunächst ein Rätsel. Würden Bursch und seine Mitstreiter eine eher rockige Performance bringen oder sich mehr dem folkigen Teil der Bandgeschichte widmen? Man durfte gespannt sein. Als dann das Line-Up für den Abend bekannt wurde, ließ es schon auf ein großes Konzertereignis schließen: Neben Bursch traten hier u.a. Manni von Bohr am Schlagzeug, Michael Dommers (Ex-Wallenstein) an der Gitarre und Helge Schneider an der Orgel auf die Bühne (der im Übrigen zeigte, dass er an diesem Instrument wirklich etwas auf dem Kasten hat). Besonders hervorheben muss man zudem Anja Lerch, die eine überragende Gesangsperformance bot. Mit dieser Besetzung brannten Bröselmaschine dann ein wahres Feuerwerk an hervorragenden Songs ab. Da wechselten hervorragende solistische Parts und gut abgestimmtes Bandspiel einander ab. Man musste sich ob dessen schon bisweilen wundern, da es sich bei Bröselmaschine, so wie sie sich dem Publikum in Bonn präsentierten, eher um eine loses Projekt als um eine feste Band handelt. Aber hier zeigt sich natürlich, wer ein wirklich guter Musiker ist. Auch wenn einige Songs wie Bei Uns Zu Haus ein wenig kitschig wirkten, boten Peter Bursch und seine Freunde eine tolle Show. Sie markierten den würdigen Abschluss eines im Großen und Ganzen tollen Rockpalast-Festivals.

Discography Bröselmaschine (71)
Peter Bursch + Bröselmaschine (76) Feel Fine (78)
Reviews:
Bröselmaschine's single album delivers a pretty combination of folk and
psychedelia with a noticeable touch of the contemporary German underground.
The first four songs highlight acoustic guitar and contrast clear female
vocals with more German-inflected male vocals, all very folky and beautiful
(the track "Lassie" is even credited to the most prolific composer in the
history of music, Trad.). A progressive bent is given by spacey electric
guitar work that ranges from atmospheric to wah-tinged fuzziness, fleshed
out in long but hypnotically low-key solos with the help of low-key bass,
percussion and flute. The two other songs are longer, primarily instrumental
jams with more obvious Eastern influences. "Schmetterling" is particularly
reminiscent of Mantra-era Popol Vuh with its tablas and congas, sitar drones
and even a hint of Mellotron. A very nice album for those who like folky
prog. It has been re-released on CD by ZYX Music, so you don't have to go
hunting for the rare LP edition to hear it. -- Kai Karmanheimo In 1968 Joan
Baez came to Germany and was accompanied on her tour by a folk-band called
"die Anderen" (the other ones). After this the band developed a new concept
(el. guitar, bass and Mellotron were included) and changed their name to
Bröselmaschine. They published their self titled debut in 1971. It was and
is quoted as one of the best folk/prog. productions put out in the early
seventies in Germany (comparable to Hölderlin's first record). After extensive
touring throughout Europe they disbanded in 73. The bands guitarist P. Bursch
restarted the Band in 76 and they recorded two more albums in a more folk/rock/pop
style. --

BRÖSELMASCHINE -
An obscure German folk-rock
group fronted by renowned guitarist and writer Peter Bursch, offering a
mixture of traditional folk, Indian music, psychedelic rock and cosmic music,
all fused together to form a delicate spacious music of great beauty. With
the exception of "Lassie" (a traditional folk song), BRÖSELMASCHINE's debut
is a delightful album, an ideal companion to Emtidi's SAAT and Hölderlin's
TRAUM.

Broselmaschine
(Pilz 1971)
Album Legnth: 35.44
Recorded:August 1971 Dierks Studio - Stommeln, Germany
Genre: Folk
Best Song: 'Schmetterling'
Release Info: 1994 CD Reissue SPALAX 14882
Overview:
Quite possibly the pinnacle of Krautfolk, Broselmaschine is certainly tops
in the folk subgenre and is recommended to those interested in the lighter
side of Krautrock. Broselmaschine combines the highly talented acoustic guitar
playing of Peter Bursch (a master of the instrument who has published many
instructional books on the subject), romantic vocals, and a mild Eastern influence
highlighted by the use of sitar and flute. The album begins with 'Gedanken',
a peaceful track with a slight renaissance-era feel, featuring acoustic and
electric guitar, flute and romantic lyrics. Next the group performs the Scottish
traditional 'Lassie' with multi-tracked vocal harmonies. Next, 'Guitarrenstuck',
is a beautiful piece played with folk guitar and a soothing female vocal.
'The Old Man's Song' seems slightly out of place due to its use of wah-wah
peddle, but this gives way to some rather ominous sounding Duul-ish acoustic
guitar and folk percussion. 'Schmetterling' introduces an Eastern flavor to
the album and is most notable for its sitar which reminds me a little bit
of mid-period Popol Vuh. Bursch's guitar playing on this track is simply masterful
and the track is given an extra boost from some atmospheric mellotron. 'Nossa
Bova' stands out as a folk masterpiece with its incredible guitar work, folk
percussion, and female vocals. This track has a peaceful quality similar to
Paradieswarts Duul, the only difference being the musical ability of Broselmaschine's
members. The album was produced by Rolf Ulrich Kaiser and engineered by Dieter
Dierks and was first issued on Pilz in 1971. [4.5/5 Doug]

Peter Bursch
Und Die Broselmaschine (Intercord 1976)
Album Legnth: 39.41
Recorded: Feb-July 1975 Conny Planks Neunkirchen Studio
Genre: Folk Rock
Best Song: 'Sofa Rock'
Release Info: 1976 Intercord LP 161.012
Overview:
Not too many collectors will be lucky enough to find this little obscurity
as it has never been reissued. Those who seek it out should be made aware
that sadly, this is not a rehash of the group's incredible 1971 debut. I liken
it to Ax Genrich's (Guru Guru) equally obscure 1975 solo LP 'Highdelberg Supersession'.
Peter Bursch and Willi Kissmer, the only remaining original members, formed
the new Peter Bursch Und Die Broselmaschine in early 1975. The resulting self-titled
album was recorded between February and July of that same year in Conny Plank's
Neunkirchen Studio. The album features guest appearances by Roland Schaeffer
and Mani Neumeier (Guru Guru) and Jan Fride (Kraan). The resulting music,
while still retaining a strong folk-rock tendency, is much different than
the atmospheric folk which dominated the legendary 1971 album. There are a
few similarities however, most notably the inclusion of three traditional
tracks ala 'Lassie' and the abundance of "ethnic" percussion. Musically, the
emphasis is placed on Peter Bursch's highly talented acoustic guitar techniques,
although Willi Kissmer's electric guitar steals the show at times. Standout
tracks include 'Sofa Rock', a six-minute instrumental folk-rock jam with ethnic
percussion, and 'Come Together', a laid-back track highlighted by flute, idyllic
vocals and dreamy guitar passages. Peter Bursch Und Die Broselmaschine is
well worth tracking down if you are a fan of the first album. [3/5 Doug]

Hayes 26-August-2001
Bröselmaschine One of the three legendary Pilz folk albums from the early
1970s German scene. Of the three, Bröselmaschine were certainly the most "folky".
The five-piece lineup included primarily male and female vocals with acoustic
guitar. As accents to various songs, the band added electric guitar, bass,
hand percussion, flute, sitar, zither and mellotron. The five minute opener
"Gedanken" is a pleasant enough folk track with heavily accented English vocals
and some nice electric guitar. "Lassie" follows and is just the sort of song
that my Dad would enjoy. One gets the vision that Bröselmaschine would feel
comfortable opening for comedian Bob Newhart at a place like the "hungry i"
in San Francisco circa 1966. Plates and silverware clanking in the background
and after the song completes, an uproarious crowd claps maniacally while cigarettes
dangle from their lips. After the two minute acoustic guitar interlude "Gitarrenstuck",
things begin to get interesting. "The Old Man's Song" starts with a repetitive
and trance-like acoustic guitar. Hand percussion and wah guitar enter and
some delicate flute sets the tone for the peaceful femme singing. The nine
minute "Schmetterling" is one of the album's highlights and recalls Hoelderlin's
Traum with its Eastern motif (sitar, tablas, flute) and German narration.
Later in the song there's a wonderful driving bass guitar that gives the song
a sense of contrasting urgency not found elsewhere. The album closes with
"Bossa Nova" (8:06) a nice "stroll in the park" kind of song with emphasis
on acoustic guitar, flute, wordless voice and hand percussion. Overall, Bröselmaschine
is the type of album to sooth ones nerves after a hard days work. Not particularly
experimental or groundbreaking, but for fans of early Hoelderlin, Emtidi or
other such cosmic folk bands, Bröselmaschine is a must pick up.

Une folk
fraiche et apaisante menée par le maître ès guitare Peter Bursch Dès 1965,
le guitariste Peter Bursch se produit sur scène lors de récitals en Europe,
aux Etats-Unis, en URSS et en Chine. En 1968 il fonde "Die Anderen" ("Les
Autres"), groupe qui aurait accompagné Joan Baez lors de sa tournée en Allemagne.
La même année le groupe devient Bröselmaschine et vit quelques temps au sein
d'une communauté à Duisburg. En 1969, Peter Bursch devient tuteur à l'Université
et, à partir de 1970, journaliste pour divers revues musicales allemandes.
En 1971 Bröselmaschine, formé de Peter Bursch (guitares, sitar, flûte), Jenni
Schücker (voix et flûte), Willi Rismer (voix et guitares), Lutz Ringer (basse,
métallophone) et Mike Hell (mellotron, congas, tablas), publie son premier
album Bröselmaschine sur le label folk Pilz, dirigé par un autre journaliste
et critique musical, Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, le grand manitou du Krautrock. Au
milieu des expérimentations tous azimuts produites en Allemagne dans la première
moitié des années 70, "Bröselmaschine" reste en un territoire rock-folk assez
balisé, mais il s'agit d'un album particulièrement bien foutu et très plaisant
à l'écoute. Les guitares folk sont agrémentées de psychédèlisme et d'influences
orientales par la présence d'un sitar, de congas et de tablas, de flûte flower-power...
"Bröselmaschine" est souvent considéré comme l'un des meilleurs albums de
rock folk progressif allemand du début des années 70. Après une longue tournée
européenne Bröselmaschine s'est séparé en 1973. Peter Bursch reforme le groupe
en 1976 et, avec quelques invités (Mani Neumeier et Roland Schaeffer de Guru
Guru et Jan Fride de Kraan) il enregistre Peter Bursch & Die Bröselmaschine
, puis I feel fine en 1978, deux albums, aux accents, paraît-il, plus pop-rock.
Depuis 1975, Peter Bursch a été l'auteur d'une vingtaine de méthodes d'apprentissage
de la guitare, dont certaines ont été publiées à travers le monde (Europe,
Etats-Unis, Canada, Australie). Il est aujourd'hui reconnu comme l'un des
grands maîtres allemands de la guitare et nombre de guitaristes, des Toten
Hausen à Scorpions, ont appris à jouer de cet instrument grâce à ses ouvrages.
Peter Bursch a fondé sa propre école de musique en 1995. Discographie : Bröselmaschine
