A contextual review of Conrad Schnitzler's Blau that highlights its raw, looped-tape experimentation and hypnotic mechanical textures. The reviewer frames the work within the early '70s technical limitations and krautrock revolutionary spirit. Blau is described as challenging and not conventionally catchy, requiring a synthetic, lysergic listening approach.
