The ninth album from this band from Germany.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, programming, trumpet and vocals.
This is the follow up to the 1989 album Dancing In The Shade, a far from impressive album. Kraan was in a deep slump during these years and that was evident on that album.
Soul Of Stone is a forty-five minutes long album. The band still continues down the road of 1980s - 1990s funk and psych based krautrock. There is also a lot of Gong influences here. Kraan is the krautrock's answer to Gong and their take on the Canterbury scene.
The trumpet sound has replaced a lot of the keyboards sound on this album. This gives this album some Chicago feel, Chicago in their brass era.
The music is pretty quirky and melodic. It has some strange brass, make that trumpet, dominated music where the band is trying to sound like Miles Davis.
The vocals is good and this album is a bit jazzy and funky. The quality is decent enough. This is not their finest hour and this album is one of their least interesting albums.
