Electrip is the second of three studio albums by the German band Xhol Caravan, an influential member of the krautrock music movement. The album was recorded and released in 1969, and marks a significant departure from the band’s debut effort, 1967’s Get in High. While that album spotlighted the American blues origins of then-singers Ronnie Swinson and James Rhodes, by 1969 Rhodes and Swinson were gone and so were pop and blues conventions. Electrip abandons these in favor of extended forays into progressive rock, free jazz, fusion, improvisation, and experimentation. Originally released on Hansa Records, the album was re-packaged and re-released in 2000 on the Garden of Delights label.
