LANDSCAPE

The band, anonymous by choice and image, have looked back in time to late 60's psychedelic music and the early 70's Krautrock movement to find inspiration for this creation, apparently. The songs as such are instrumental for the most part, with 3 compositions containing spoken words rather than vocals, and the organ is the dominating instrument here; central throughout apart from the one track which is a guitars only affair.

Wndering acoustic guitars, staccato riffs with distinct kraut-tinges and echoing; twisted and twisting distorted and dissonant guitar sounds are all elements used to add melodic and psychedelic textures to the songs; and in most cases a driving, melodic bass line and drums flesh out the tracks; and the bass guitar in particular adds a contemporary touch to these compositions which without doubt are looking back rather than ahead in time.

One to check out for fans of psychedelic music in general and Krautrock in particular this production; many of which should find this one compelling.
