Kraan - Nachtfahrt (1982)

 

The seventh album from this band from Germany.

The band was quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

A guest did the drums on three tracks.

The band continued on with this forty minutes long album.

Kraan is a band who has never confined themselves to one genre. The have been moving around from psych rock to fusion, jazz and krautrock. They are most of all the German's answer to Gong. 

That is the side of Kraan you find on this album. Some weirdo post-punk influenced krautrock mixed u with jazz.

The vocals are in German and I guess the lyrics is bit wild, taking into account the mad delivery of the vocals. The vocals are pretty good, btw.

Then we also have some good jazz here. 

Yes, this album is a bit mad and weird. The quality is somewhere between decent and good. I have heard better albums from this band than this one.

2.5 points
