Zoppo Trump from Dortmund are known in collectors’ circles only for the
sampler LP “Scena Westphalica” (Förderturm Records UP I/76), on which
they are represented with their highly praised pieces “Wellengang” and
“Fluktuation”. In addition to these tracks, the CD contains another
seven tracks of a perfect sound which had been studio recordings and had
not been released until then. Style: progressive rock slightly
influenced by jazz and classical music, however mostly without any wind
instruments. There was a sporadic use of the Mellotron and English
vocals. Comparable to Streetmark. Udo Preising had come from Electric
Mud. Nicky Gebhard later joined Wallenstein, and Martin Buschmann, son
of the well-known jazz- musician Rainer Glen Buschmann, joined Cochise.
For some time, by the way, Dieter Gorny was on bass for Zoppo Trump.
There are, however, no recordings from this period of their band
history.
