Munju ‎– High-Speed Kindergarten

Munju ‎– High-Speed Kindergarten
Release date:1977
Genre: Krautrock


A typical Schneeball fusion band at the start, "Munju" originated in Würzburg circa 1976 as the new group of ex-'Missus Beastly' and 'Erna Schmidt' winds-player Jürgen Benz.
A notable 'Kraan' feel lived in their early recordings, with the bass being the kingpin of it all, with a multi-percussion axis and excellent solo work from the guitar and winds.
They became part of the independent musicians owned record label & distribution "Schneeball" together with 'Embryo', 'Missus Beastly', 'Ton Steine Scherben' and many more.
On their debut album, "High-Speed Kindergarten" "Munju" presents fine instrumental jazz rock with some Krautrock- and Latin influences.
"Munju" was first and foremost a touring live band. They played way over 1000 gigs in the 10 + years of their existence. Most of the gigs took place all over Germany and the highlights were tours through Italy, Sicily, Sweden, Austria, France, Spain and Switzerland.
