Eroc Discography










Eroc (Joachim Heinz Ehrig) started his solo career in 1975 while he was currently the drummer of Grobschnitt. His self titled album can be considered as a cross between Grobschnitt’s typical symphonic amazing music and electronic/ synthscapes dominated by numerous original sound manipulations. Despite that he was originally recognised as a drummer, here Eroc is the man behind the machines,controlling solid essays in synth experimentations and electronic collages. His first album is an absolute must have in Kraut- electronic genre, very abstract, emotional and a mix of different moods. His following album Zwei continues to process by a combination between rock and electronic but focused on short, efficient sketches.









Humour and derision are clearly exposed in the lyrics and recitations.
Zwei is a reminiscence of Grobschnitt’s theatrical universe with lot of gags, but the atmosphere is much more introspective, sometimes delivering deliciously melancholic melodies. After this two first very recommended efforts, Eroc pursues his solo career notably providing a kind of reunion, family album Eroc 3 with others Grobschnitt members.









In parallel he also started a professional career as music producer, recently published albums of Jane, Grobschnitt among others.

The first time, I see a complete Eroc-Discography in the net.
Phantastic!

If you don't know him, start with "Tontillon" form Eroc 3.

My favourite Album is "The Return Of Onkel Boskopp" which was first released as "Goldbroiler & Erlichmann proudly present Kino" on Vinyl.

Big thanks to The Seeker from Berlin!
