The guitarist Hans Reffert "Flute" (whose reputation is strongly approved in Mannheim region) formed the band with Hans Brandeis "Voice" in 1969. They have rapidly shared their common interest for Indian sitar. At the beginning of the 70’s this duet provided an inventive "ethnic" rock sound with an abundant use of sitar, raga ingredients. Their music is a fantastic cross section of different moods and playings: dancing flute lines, jazzy & folk guitars accompaniments, a mysterious tone provided by the sitar. The communication between the instruments is full of beauty and introspection.
They started to record their first album “Imagination of Light” in 1970. In 1973, they recorded the second album of their career “Hallo Rabbit”. They made many performances in Germany for clubs or during special festivals (German Jazz Festival 1972 in Frankfurt). In 1974, the band disappears after Brandeis move to Berlin.
An impressive, innovative band whose music is an opened door to our inner perceptions. Really outside of time.

Thoughts
Flute & Voice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna feel what I anticipate
I know it's coming, It's got such tight hold
Blood starts pooling, skin turns cold
Regurgitating rotten thoughts
Think of cemetery plots
Emptiness inside, nothing fills the void
In these lyrics from the song "Thoughts" by Flute & Voice, the singer expresses a desire to hold on to a heightened state of emotion or excitement. They do not want the feeling to fade away because it brings them a sense of anticipation and exhilaration. The line "Don't wanna feel what I anticipate" suggests that the singer fears the eventual letdown that usually accompanies this state of heightened emotion. They are aware that this feeling is temporary and acknowledges that it will eventually dissipate.
The next two lines, "I know it's coming, It's got such tight hold / Blood starts pooling, skin turns cold," convey a sense of impending doom or discomfort. The singer suggests that this emotions they are experiencing have a strong grip on them, almost in a suffocating manner. The mention of blood pooling and skin turning cold creates a vivid image of the physical and emotional toll that this feeling has on them. It highlights the intensity and potentially negative consequences of holding on to this state for too long.
Moving to the next part, the lyrics take a darker turn. "Regurgitating rotten thoughts / Think of cemetery plots" depict a state of mental anguish. The singer is burdened by negative and disturbing thoughts that constantly plague their mind. The use of the word "regurgitating" suggests that these thoughts are intrusive and painful, being brought up repeatedly. The mention of cemetery plots adds to the somber tone, implying that the singer is preoccupied with death and mortality, further contributing to their state of distress.
The final two lines, "Emptiness inside, nothing fills the void / Your skull is crushed, my mind's destroyed," encapsulate the emptiness and despair the singer feels. They describe a profound sense of emptiness that cannot be filled by anything external. The mention of a crushed skull and a destroyed mind further emphasize the extent of their mental anguish. The overall message of these lyrics suggests a struggle to maintain a positive state of mind and the ultimate consequences of holding on to negative thoughts for too long.
