Early sound was krautrock, which led to symphonic, and to space rock toward the break-up of the original lineup around 1973. Constant throughout is keyboardist/vocalist Jurgen Dollase and he would continue through the seventies and early eighties fronting Wallenstein (while also pursuing bigger and better things). "WALLENSTEIN’s original lineup was centered around keyboardist/vocalist Jürgen Dollase and drummer Harald Großkopf, both of whom would go on to make names even bigger for themselves in the German music business (Dollase with THE COSMIC JOKERS and Großkopf as a founding member of ASHRA and later the CENTRAL EUROPE PERFORMANCE). The band was originally named BLITZKRIEG, but as they readied their first studio release the band discovered a prior band with that name so changed theirs and retained ‘Blitzkrieg’ as the title of that first album"(Bob Moore-ClemofNazerth). The group also included bassist Jerry Berkers who appears on their first two releases before going solo (see entry). Also, famed Krautrock drummer Harald Großkopf would go on to bigger things while playing in Ashra and with Klaus Schulze. He is also now a noted sessionman/producer in Germany.

Though often criticized for being too much like symphonic-prog rock, and not enough Krautrock, their 'Blitzkrieg' album is one of the finest ones from that era.

The Theme
Wallenstein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rain begins at half past ten
We like to play our music then
Bound to Earth we sat
With nasty things we (tried??) apart
A stimulating wellness over all

Grey keeps white and purple red
One colours flex in our head
Where is the light, I am, or am I bound to (Monday??) then




My solution, it is love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wallenstein's song The Theme are quite abstract and can be open to interpretation. The first two lines suggest that the rain begins at half past ten, which is perhaps when the band likes to play music. The next line, "Bound to Earth we sat," could refer to feeling grounded and connected to the natural world, while "nasty things we (tried??) apart" may suggest a desire to separate from negative influences. The line "A stimulating wellness over all" could be interpreted as a positive feeling of wellness and excitement.


Line by Line Meaning

Rain begins at half past ten
Our creativity is often sparked in the late hours of the night


We like to play our music then
We find joy in expressing ourselves through our art during this time


Bound to Earth we sat
We are grounded in our reality and current circumstances


With nasty things we (tried??) apart
We are constantly striving to overcome obstacles and negativity in our lives


A stimulating wellness over all
We prioritize the overall well-being and positive stimulation of ourselves and others


Grey keeps white and purple red
Different emotions and experiences coexist and are intertwined within us


One colours flex in our head
Our thoughts and emotions are constantly changing and affecting each other


Where is the light, I am, or am I bound to (Monday??) then
We question our path and purpose, wondering if we are limited by our circumstances


My solution, it is love
Love is the answer and solution to navigating life's challenges and finding fulfillment
