MAMMUT

This is the first and unique album by the almost legendary German band Mammut. An intense and bombastic hybrid between heavy fuzz acid guitars, instinctive free rock improvs and some lyrical, classical influenced interludes / fragments. We can also detect a certain dose of humour in the vocals, lyrics & in the introduction parts. The opening track is a groovy, percussive, crazy psychedelic "trip" featuring an avalanche of drums, trippy organs, bluesy e-guitar sections, drunked flute passages, silly absurd voices. Average stoned semi improvised free jam. Classical delivers a short piano interlude, a pleasant melodic moment. Ecstasy is a fuzzy heavy psychedelic composition with furious rythms, an efficient bass guitar leading theme and some nice technical keyboards moves. Foolmachine alternates a simplistic bluesy pop song with free guitar jams accompanied by the Hammond organ. An optimistic, dynamic progressive rock album, a really soft version of krautrock but the band captures with interest various musical influences together.
