4 stars My introduction to this Kosmische (Krautrock) Musik revival band and still my favorite album of theirs--though 2014's "Volume 10" gives it a run for its money, mostly for better sound engineering and a greater display of idiosyncracy. The rhythms and grooves here are just catchier, quicker to get under your skin and get you up off your duff dancing around the living room. There is a lot of nods/reverences to 70s progenitors CAN (titles, humour, voice & radio/audio samples) and even a little BRAINTICKET (the title song), but there is a lot of music here that stands very well on its own, fore-fathers or no.

Five star song: 12. "Sarau" (8:31) (19/20); 7. "Traumama" (4:58) (9/10); the ultra-smooth 8. "Krautschock" (7:02) (12.5/15), and; the hypnotic, autobahn rockin' 9. "Wald" (10:14) (18/20).

Four star songs: 1. "Einwahn" (7:54) (17.5/20); the bass-driven 3. "Span 5" (7:56) (17.5/20); 6. "Flohfunknest" (3:33) (8.5/10); 10. "Reaching" (4:28) (8.5/10); and the rest.
