The 12th album from this band from Germany.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Their previous album Through from 2003 is one of their best albums and I was very impressed by it as I expressed in my review last month. Hence I had a great deal of hopes for this album.
The first impressions, the first listening sessions, led me to believe this album was a huge disappointment. But it has grown on me and it has become better...
The music on this fifty minutes long album reminds me how similar Kraan really is to Gong from Great Britain. You get some funk, jazz and then some naive pop music here.
This is a weird combination and only Gong has done the same type of music. Hence, in the case of this album, we are somewhere between Canterbury scene and krautrock.
The vocals and the band does a good job. The music is a blend of some really good jazz and some not so good pop tunes.
This is indeed a weird album. It is more weird than good as some of the pieces of music here is not up to an acceptable standard. Nevertheless... check it out.
