MEKANÏK DESTRUKTÏW KOMMANDÖH

The first time I listen to this album i did not understood anything, but then, with a lot of jazz, jazz rock and Canterbury scene on my own universe I tried but first with an album that is more accesible but still a classic piece of this rare form of Rock music: ÜDÜ ẀÜDÜ. Once I understand this album I went to listen to the album in reference. MEKANÏK DESTRUKTÏW KOMMANDÖH is a totally 5/5 album, essential without a doubt. This album have polyrhythmyths, complex elements of Jazz, epicness, avant-garde and a new musical approach of rock with some gospel, contemporary classical music, RIO; all mixed in a consistent and eclectic form. First, MEKANÏK DESTRUKTÏW KOMMANDÖH was designed to be a one album song, but the idea was rejected and the song was divided on 7 parts with titles each one with titles that refer to the respective part of the song, each one of them have an awesome use of the repetition, avant-garde elements and the particular freak and shock vocals, there some with an excellent use of the guitar in a jazz (but not your typical jazz), Christian Vander on the percussion and drums with a perfect execution, the bassist demonstrating that this genre has bass lines out of this world and possibly the part where a lot of people dislike Zeuhl: the vocals, for me, are awesome, but it's not so easy to understand it. This album it's indisputably an essential piece for the progressive music in the full sense of the word. It's despicable for me seeing some "PROG EXPERTS" rating this album with 1 or 2 stars and rating it with 0 stars if possible, because they cannot understand how magnificent this is, they only expect for prog rock the same 7-25 min songs with sudden changes (not all consistent) from acoustic to electric or viceversa and a moog abuse; uh and probably think that prog music died in the 70s, they ignore the most important part of the genre: TO BE PROGRESSIVE.
