Jane is a seminal German progressive and space rock band formed in Hanover in 1970. While often grouped with the Krautrock movement, Jane's sound was more melodic and blues-based than the avant-garde experimentation of bands like Can or Faust, aligning them more closely with the 'Deutschrock' scene of Eloy and Grobschnitt.
Their signature sound is defined by Klaus Hess's melodic guitar work and the prominent use of the Hammond organ, often played over a characteristically slow, 'dragging' rhythmic section. Throughout the 1970s, they were one of Germany's most successful rock acts, with albums like 'Together' and 'Fire, Water, Earth & Air' becoming cornerstones of the genre. The band's history is marked by frequent lineup changes and eventual splintering into multiple touring versions, yet their 1970s catalog remains highly regarded by collectors for its pristine analog production and atmospheric depth. They occupy a unique space between the heavy psych of the late 60s and the more structured symphonic prog of the late 70s.
