Sibylle Baier : Colour Green (D,1970-1972)****°
This is one of those few items newly discovered from the early '70s, which renders me breathless, speechless, and wordless. ‘Colour Green’ is a description of introspective moments (in life), intimate and poetic, and of sad/melancholic beauty and from a loving nature. There are songs with guitar only, except for “Give me a smile” which is nicely orchestrated. I’m sure her slightly breathy voice, as well as for the honest innocence and purity of the songs will remind people of Vasthi Bunyan (even if she’s too often quoted nowadays, here it surely is in the right place).
All I know from her that she was German and that she recorded these tracks at home on a reel to reel recorder.
