The ninth album from this band from Germany.
The band was a quartet on this album with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, mellotron, moog, piano, organ, synths, woodwinds and vocals.
This album is claimed to the an oddity in their many albums. And the first minutes explains why....
... It opens with some vocals. Yes, vocals.
Most of the original members was gone by now and Edgar Froese wanted to test out something new. Hence, he went a bit more krautrock with vocals and some krautrock melodies.
There are still some electronica on this album. The best stuff is actually the electronica bits as the more accesible krautrock stuff, with the vocals, falls a bit flat on it's face.
This forty minutes long album is extreme varied and the bits of music crashed head on with each other. The result is confusion and a half decent album.
Thankfully, this experiement was not repeated. Thankfully.
1.5 points
