]The group Try was basically a duo of Berliners, Amadeus Reineck
(known for folksy acoustic music) and Michael Lapp (an electronics
master who had constructed his own studio). In 1980, they collaborated
on a single 40-minute LP entitled "Just a Try" (CD 027), which
pretty much summed up their modest intentions. Almost exclusively an
instrumental album, they did succeed in producing an interesting
collection of ideas that are melodic and cheerful, but not trite (the
Tolkien songtitle references notwithstanding). Comparisons to Synergy
and Kitaro could easily be made, and while I find that this pristine
'new agey' approach pales greatly in the shadow of the unbridled spirit
of earlier krautrock masters, I still really enjoy the uplifting spirit
in Try's music. It's no 'Sowiesoso' (Cluster's gem of an electronic
album in a 'pretty krautrock' style), but it's still a worthwhile trip
to take... a summer holiday soundtrack perhaps? Reineck later went on
to release an album of similar style in 1984 under the name 'Suedama,'
his first name spelled backwards. |

So may be a good Krautrock addition if we can track down some music.

TRY - Just a Try

electronic elements. Almost unknown among collectors of progressive,

predominant. (Code C) |
