4 stars Despite that the band is rather unknown from the audience I consider that Frob figures at the pinacle of the tripped out-jazzy rock planet. Clearly part of the most technical, densily intuitive improvs, featuring episodic acid-stoned vibes. Wassertropfen introduces the listener into a blow out jazzy kraut improvisation with insistent rythmical phases and gorgeous solos. Spaces is an intense enigmatic jazz epic covered by emotional-sensual guitar leads and majestic-frantic organic chords. Calypso is a burgeonning, hyper-dynamical proggy interlude for nervous guitars and an immediate guitar / keys duet. Spheres is a fascinating-strangely melodic tune, featuring current atonal jazzy elements and frenetic guitar accents. The rest of the album is constantly colorful-soulful-dynamical with lot of creative-invigorating ideas. Locomotive is my favourite composition, a radical, moody, floating and spiritually fresh minded jazzy rock improv. A very cohesive album and among the best recommendations from Germany kraut-jazz underground next to the challenging ExMagma, Ibliss and the neo-classical Tetragon. This one has been recently re-issued by the prolific Garden of Delights
