Fernado Morrirricone, above a cactus "I want to play Kraut Rock, if only I had been born in Cologne"

Intellectual Americans with aspirations that are not their forte. Kraut rock, German rock, music born in Germany, created from specific cultural premises. It's 1974, Germany is a long way from Texas, not better, just far away. We have masterpieces from both, but they are of a different mold.

To get to the point, the mysterious Moolake, undoubtedly talented musicians, have studied the darkest works expressed by Germany and produced a dark work of experimental free music and dark romanticism for the piano interrupted by moments of creative freedom— not songs but music free from constraints with very suggestive moments that, unlike their models, reek of mustiness, of the past.

A work that should not be dismissed but, frankly, does not offer original insights worthy of note, yet it deserves a leap nonetheless.

Germans are born, and the Moolah were not born so.
