The beginning. You can hear Hutter and Schneider's previous incarnation "Organisation" from 1968 in this flute-driven jam, but there's no real hit of anything that they would do in the future here apart from perhaps those pastoral-sounding synth washes from Ralf. They did play Ruckzuck for a period of time live up until 1975, but there's this 1970 version too, although note Klaus Dinger on drums compared to the recorded version with Andreas Hohmann.
