2010: Egon in Munich with Embyro, JJ Whitefield, J.Rocc and Madlib

Madlib with Embryo’s founder Christian Burchard.

In June of 2010, Egon flew first to Copenhagen for a gig with Madlib and J.Rocc and then on to Munich where he -with the help of ex-Embryo and Amon Duul bassist Uve Mullrich – assembled Madlib, J.Rocc, ex-Embryo guitarist Roman Bunka, Karl Hector, Whitefield Brothers and Poets of Rhythm producer and guitarist JJ Whitefield and the late Embryo founder Christian Burchard and his daughter Marja for a series of jam sessions in an underground Munich bunker with this legendary Krautrock ensemble.

Well, it was more like a cold-storage cellar, but bunker sounds cooler. The wine was old Bordeaux, per Mullrich’s request. Mullrich’s daughter, the vocalist Bajka, came through to meet Madlib and discuss their collaborative album which was planned – and even contracted – to come out on Now-Again. Alas, that never happened but after Buchard’s passing, Marja completed an Embryo album – Auf Auf – that Egon and Madlib issued on Madlib Invasion. He took these photos then.
