Novalis were formed in 1971 and started singing in German on their second LP "Novalis" in 1975. Only their debut "Banished Bridge" (1973) was in English. In addition to romantic lyrics, they also used works from the classical period. "Impressionen" from the album "Novalis" is an interesting arrangement of Anton Bruckner's 5th symphony. "Vielleicht Bist Du Ein Clown" was released in 1978 on the Brain label, produced by Achim Reichel. It was the band's fifth long-player. The cover was designed by Hipgnosis (Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey Powell), who were also responsible for the covers of Pink Floyd and the Alan Parsons Project. On this album, Novalis have once again succeeded in creating a sound in which all instruments interact in a balanced partnership. Timeless music that still works today. The re-release is limited to 500 copies on colored (random) vinyl.
