Epitaph – Stop Look and Listen (1972) | Full Album | Obscure Krautrock, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock GemWelcome to Obscure Sounds, your channel for rediscovering hidden rock gems from the late '60s, '70s and '80s. Today we spotlight a truly overlooked treasure: Epitaph's 1972 album Stop Look and Listen an essential listen for fans of Krautrock, progressive rock, and early hard rock.
Formed in Dortmund, Germany in the late '60s, Epitaph is one of the lesser-known yet musically powerful bands to emerge from the Krautrock and Euro-prog scene. Blending British hard rock influences (think early Deep Purple and Uriah Heep) with melodic progressions and psychedelic textures, Epitaph crafted a distinctive sound that set them apart in the German rock landscape.
Their second studio album, Stop Look and Listen, was released in 1972, following their self-titled debut. This album showcases a refined blend of progressive rock arrangements, dual guitar harmonies, and emotionally driven vocals. It stands out with its polished songwriting and tighter production compared to their debut, signaling the band’s growth and ambition.
From the soaring guitar solos in the title track "Stop Look and Listen", to the bluesy melancholy of "Visions", and the proto-metal edge of "Woman", this record captures a snapshot of early 70s experimentation and raw musical passion.
If you're into obscure '70s rock bands, this album is a must-hear. It’s a perfect find for collectors of forgotten progressive rock albums, German rock history, or anyone craving that authentic, analog-era sound.
