Released in 1974, ‘Gilles Zeitschiff’ was the solitary studio album from Gille Lettmann, dubbed Sternenmädchen (or ‘Star Maiden’). Coming across as something between a compilation and a concept album, with original music from kosmische titans of the time interspersed with samples of Klaus Schulze’s synths and some spoken-word sections, it purports to be a kind of audio documentary of Timothy Leary’s flight to Europe pursued by the FBI. A surreal Cosmic Jokers experience that needs to be heard to be believed!
