Bachdenkel was a British progressive rock band formed in Birmingham in the late 1960s by brothers Peter and Denis Wolton and guitarist Colin Swinburne. Known for their intricate compositions and poetic lyricism, they developed a cult following for their intellectually charged blend of psychedelic and progressive sounds. After relocating to France, they released the albums *Lemmings* (1970, issued 1973) and *Stalingrad* (1977), both praised for their experimental edge and melodic sophistication. Though largely under‑recognized during their era, Bachdenkel remains a hidden gem of the progressive rock movement.
