Amazing electronisch/electronic German “motorik” styled krautrock & so much more! Arguably one of the BEST krautrock albums ever made (not so easy to determine considering the flood of great releases between ’71-’76). This near masterpiece was created in 1975 by Moebius & Roedelius (of Cluster) and Rother (Neu, Kraftwerk). PLAY IT!

(((((1)))))) Driving, continually moving forward. Lots of great electronics and occasional guitar fuzz. Some airy vox “im Deutsch” (in German).
((((2)))) Loose, cyclical tempos, working off of 2 or 3 main tempos. Keeps pushing each element outward. Very trippy.
((((3)))) Slow, ambient, mellow intro into rockin’, fuzzy guitar not too far from Neu’s “Hero” (also from ’75). Some echoing, distant vocals.
(((((4))))) Pulsating, spinning around & forward then back like a merry-go-round. Tnen chills out in the 2nd half only to go back to the beginning. Killer!
(((((5)))))) Proto-“chill room” beats & electronics. Often spacey and always trippin’.
(((((6))))) Playful, warbling electronics, sometimes going so high only magic dogs can hear. Nice water & bird sound at the end (ducks and maybe a Toulouse Goose?)
