Brief introduction to be absolutely skipped.
In the 1970s, the newspaper La Stampa published brief reviews of films, records, or TV shows. My reviews aim to be just short notes because I write poorly in our language, and after more than 50 years of listening, I share my absolutely brief comments on this site. Forgive me.
Their 3rd but 1st recorded in their studio with the assistance of Conny Plank, it is also the first that, after experiments, plays in the style that will characterize them from here onwards. They play with sounds and introduce us to their world of musical revolution that knows how to blend electronics with the krautrock movement. Inspirations arise from Stockhausen and the school where Wolfgang Steinecke taught, and also from Gyorgy Ligeti, John Cage, and Terry Riley, not forgetting Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna, and Pierre Schaeffer, artists all worth listening to if one wants to enter the world of revolutionary krautrock. Certainly, we can consider them among the most original of the '70s in German lands. You listen to the record and realize how much Brian Eno and Pink Floyd owe to them, but mainly it's worth listening to without thinking about what they will do next, immersing yourself in the year of recording and nothing else, not thinking about the Ambient that will come later. Hypnotic minimalism to be paired with landscape images with different atmospheres, from warm deserts to the frozen lands of the north.
