PETER BURSCH UND DIE BRÖSELMASCHINE

After a ravishing first effort in folk prog music, It wasn't easy to go further but this second album is almost as impressive than the previous one. We can regret that the discreet psychedelic accents and the eastern sitar ingredients have gone, but we stay here with solid basic folk rock compositions. Ethnic influences are always well represented with acoustic percussions, flute parts, delivering spiritual and pleasant dreamy musical sections. The opening instrumental track is perfect, a music to escape, to feel free. Unfortunately a few compositions put the emphasis on structured folk songs with gorgeous vocals. Not at all what they best can do of our ears. Consequently this album is less touchful, less atmospheric than their classic first release but it is an interesting effort for prog folk lovers.
