The German band with the unusual name Twenty Sixty Six And Then, a reference to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, was founded in Mannheim in the spring of 1971. The line-up consisted of Steve Robinson and Veit Marvos on organ, electric piano, Mellotron and synthesiser, guitarist Gagey Mrozeck, Dieter Bauer on bass, drummer Konstantin Bommarius and the English singer Geff Harrison. After spending months in rehearsal sessions producing their own material, they signed a contract with the multinational label United Artists Records on Geff Harrison’s initiative. In late 1971, they recorded their debut album at the legendary Dierks Studio with Dieter Dierks as sound engineer.

Reflections On The Future was released in Germany in January 1972. Heavily influenced by English prog-rock, they played organ-heavy, complex music with occasional intense guitar/organ jams, characterised by symphonic elements, hard-rocking guitar work and soulful vocals. Unfortunately, their sole album failed to achieve success, leading to the band’s break-up. However, as one of the German classics of heavy psych, it became a milestone in the annals of 1970s progressive rock and has since been a sought-after collector’s item worldwide!
