Embryo

Musical collective from Munich (Germany), founded in 1969 by Christian Burchard and Edgar Hofmann. Considered as one of the most important German jazz-rock bands during the 1970s.
 
In 1981, Uve Müllrich and Michael Wehmeyer left Embryo to form &Embryo's Dissidenten& who soon became Dissidenten.
