LA RECENSIONE

This is their first release which brings us space-rock sounds flavored with psychedelia. The album was created by improvising in the recording studio and the result is very good (BASF). The critics elevate them to the podium as cornerstones of the kraut world and, in my humble opinion, I find excellent moments that taste of sweat and are rightly dirty; it's definitely worth listening to even if only for the second track "Kommunikation". These are expansive and nocturnal moments, the colors are leaden, and the ending reminds me a lot of Klokwerk Orange. The group was formed in '69 in Stuttgart while their debut was in '71, featuring the group's diamond, Wolf Conrad "Conny" Veit on guitar, who can soar over the keyboards without being intrusive, accompanied by a rhythm section that serves the atmospheres very well. If you want references, we can think of Agitation Free or the Floyd of Saucerful to immerse ourselves in a listening experience with suspended atmospheres and rounded architectures.
