L.S. BEARFORCE featured lotus schmidt (L.S. he=is!) on bass and tapes, mani neumeier on drums and percussion, edmund heimann on guitar and electronics, edgar hofmann on sax, flute and violin, and winfried beck on congas and drums. associated with the band and the recording of the album were german kraut legends like uli trepte, winfried schlögel, heike müller, julius schittenhelm, susanne thomas and ralf thomas in one way or an other.
their eponymous album was released in 1983 both as a picture lp and a white vinyl album in limited editions of 500 each; in 1999 the album was rereleased on white vinyl, omitting the liner notes lotus schmidt had provided for the first edition.

L.S. Bearforce is a great one for its late Krautrock date. Definitely better than the second Spacebox LP... maybe Uli Trepte was undergoing rehab treatment at the time, but that one was really awful. Which may be why he only provided the cool cover squiggle and no music for Bearforce. Faust are amazing and maybe the only real Krautrock band left standing? I saw them twice at two very different shows in the USA in the last 2 years and the only constant was Peron's manic avant-garde enthusiasm (Zappi was not at the 2018 show though he joined them later on the tour). Germany should regard Faust as a national treasure imo.
L.S. Bearforce existed longer than that. I also have an earlier tape of demos, which is much of the same material but with a slightly different line-up
dear xylem, thank you for the additional information. could you imagine to write a guest column about the tape in this=here blog and let the readers hear it?
