Profile
Os Mundi were one of the key bands of the early Berlin Krautrock scene. They were rooted in the bands Safebreakers (1962-) and Orange Surprise, changing into Os Mundi by 1970. The band's initials OS gave rise to the name Os Mundi, Latin for "The World" - apt when their debut LP was called A Latin Mass. Os Mundi played heavy psychedelic prog moving onto more fusion realms with their second LP. A third album was never properly completed, although the band did exist on and off until 1980.
