Roddus Album Of The Day
An excellent slab of German Prog from this short lived outfit who produced this as their only album. The album kicks right off with it's centerpiece in the extended maelstrom of "China" A gruelling, relentless heavy prog laden piece of krautrock with soring guitar leads and Faustian rhythm. "Devils Dream" is a far more commercial sounding affair with strong vocal melody and groovy guitar before drifting off into some pretty cool jazzy territory.. Some great fuzzed out guitar for the psych monster intro that is "Nervous Creek" with its loud start then quiet folksy passage before jazzing out some and then returning back to psych time to finish and all done so seamlessly. The band present their blues credentials on the lovely slow but heavy blues of :Archies blues" . Throughout the album the band shows their superb musicianship, their great songwriting and the width and breadth of their musical influences. Almost all tracks contain sections of different stylings and the quality remains high throughout.And in true Prog fashion there is plenty of diversity between songs to make this a classic of the genre. My rating is an impressive 4.5/5. highly Recommended.
