COLLECTOR'S CHOICE: This begins a second quad post using suggestions from Josef from Austria with all these bands highly regarded from the area. Josef updates the Discogs write up that follows as: The band was founded in 1970 and existed until Ocktober 1972. In September of the same year their only LP was released and mentioned a month later the band split up. Per Discogs: Paternoster was an Austrian underground, progressive rock band that originated from Vienna (Wien), Austria. The band, inspired by Soft Machine and the likes, existed approximately two years in the early 1970's, and disbanded shortly after the release of their 1971 eponymously entitled album, of which only some 270 copies were sold. An original copy was sold at around $8,000 on eBay in Sept. 2015. Paternoster have made a comeback or two in later years. https://bestfile.io/en/MmLK3i8hNdjW21L/file
I forgot to include a comment of Josef's to go with this post:
You can also read an interview about it in It's a Psychedelic Baby Magazine. Here a band member wonders why Austria was so conservative in the first half of the 70s and can't find an answer. The thing is simple. We were the children of the Nazis ( and had a very hard time - it was no different to Germany).

Nicely done with all the Austrian bands and the German Carol of Harvest, thank you. Maybe we can do something to make them better known. They would deserve it.
Just a correction to the info about Paternoster on discogs. The band was founded in 1970 and existed until Ocktober 1972. In September of the same year their only lp was released and mentioned a month later the band split up.
Josef I put up your paragraph about the CD baby piece on your youth history here only on this post could cut and paste to ther 3 in this series
