Powered by Audioscrobbler™Panko from West Berlin (not to be confused with the much later East-German band Pankow) musically reminds of Xhol Caravan or the early Embryo. The band mostly played long jazzy instrumental pieces, dominated by flute and alto saxophone, at times interrupted by mainly English vocals and some follies. The band existed from the late sixties 'til the end of 1972. During its active career the group didn't release any material, although they definitelty had much potential. In 1983 their drummer (at last) released the cassette 'Weil Es So Schön Perlt'. This tape featured live recordings of good sound quality, dating from June 1971. Now here's a great CD-edition of that tape, enriched with two bonus tracks.

Panko aus Westberlin – nicht zu verwechseln mit der viel späteren DDR-Gruppe Pankow – erinnern etwas an Xhol Caravan oder frühe Embryo. Man hört meistens lange jazzige Instrumentalabschnitte mit Querflöte und Alt-Saxophon, gelegentlich unterbrochen von meist englischem Gesang und einigen Verrücktheiten. Die Gruppe bestand von den Spätsechzigern bis Ende 1972. Zu Lebzeiten veröffentlichte sie nie etwas, obwohl sie das Zeug dafür gehabt hätte. Erst 1983 brachte ihr Schlagzeuger die Kassette „Weil es so schön perlt“ (Getto SO 36) mit klanglich einwandfreien Live-Aufnahmen vom Juni 1971 heraus. Es handelt sich dabei um kein selbstvervielfältigtes Werk, sondern um eine reguläre Veröffentlichung mit gedrucktem Cover und Label. Der CD-Ausgabe wurden zwei Zusatzstücke angehängt.
