Pilz (German for mushroom) was a German record label, set up in Berlin in 1971 by German music mogul RU Kaiser, who also established the label Ohr.

History

Pilz was a sublabel of BASF, a major record company in Germany at that time. A number of artists who released records on Pilz, such as Witthuser & Westrupp, also put out music on Ohr and/or Cosmic Couriers, another of Kaisers record labels.

The labels logo was a mushroom, found on the sleeves and on the labels of the records. In all, there were 20 albums and 7 singles released on Pilz. Most were psychedelic or cosmic rock with folk influences. Lyrics/vocals were sometimes in German, although some of the albums were purely instrumental.

Popol Vuh are probably the best known of Pilz artists, having released numerous albums during their career, including several film scores, many of them highly regarded by critics and fans. In Der Garten Pharoas is considered a classic by many. Wallenstein had some success during the 70s and in more recent years with reissues, while Witthuser & Westrupps albums remain cult favourites. Popol Vuhs Hosianna Mantra was the final release before the label folded in 1972. Hosianna Mantra has been covered in its entirety by Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple.
