4 stars Guru Guru's third release is generally considered their most accomplished work. The band's previous album, UFO, was a trippy journey influenced by hallucinogen drug experience. In 1972, the group released Kanguru.

The album still relies strongly on improvisation. There are elements of ambient music, as well. Four tracks of this album give room to four different moods. The band often lays down a simple rhythmic and harmonic pattern, which they improvise on. However, there are also some electronic, dissonant work-outs to spice things up! Sometimes heavy, sometimes funky - Kanguru is a rewarding journey throughout! Although the album is not very innovative and a bit monotonous, it is evident that Guru Guru have mastered their instruments and are now proficient musicians.

All in all, Kanguru is a classic Krautrock album. Not only is this one of not all that many albums of the genre that I enjoy, it will be a perfect way to get into it. Recommended!
