Speck is a trio from Vienna performing high-energy space kraut rituals since 2019. The Metz Session on one side of this split was recorded and mixed in April 2021 at a former stonemasonry in Lower Austria by Sebastian Hödlmoser (mastermind behind the Metz Sessions, a platform for upcoming musicians in Austria).
Interkosmos was founded in 2008 in Austria by 3 guys from 3 countries. After a few concerts in Austria and Spain they went into a 12 years hiatus and played a show with Speck in 2021 in Vienna. In the same week they started recording a new album. The track on this split LP was recorded at the Space Farm Ahoi Festival (at Böllerbauer in upper Austria) in 2008, and finished by Sula Bassana with some minor synthesizer overdubs and mixing in 2022. Mastering by Krautrock legend Eroc.
The LP comes on randomly coloured 180 grams recycled vinyl made in Germany, limited to 500 copies.
