LAST

Live recording from this legendary krautrock band. Just after the eloquent, freaked out rocking sessions of Malesch and Second, Agitation releases what I consider to be the sumbit of their career. The psychedelic jams are sublimated, making the priority to buzzing electronic drones, deep abstract ambiences and intuitive e-guitars improvisations. The result is constantly captivating, catchy and imersive. The musical artefact created by these germans figures among the most refined and gorgeous testimonies in "kosmiche musik" history. Generally this album is much more experimental than the previous ones, making for the first time a large place to electronic soundscapes. "Soundpool" starts with a dark abstract orchestration of electronic sequences, then it goes to a jamming session dominated by guitars. This live version of Laila is better than the piece published in studio. It starts as floating rock piece, featuring wha wha guitars and an impressive sense of rhythm and writing. The alchemy is perfect between the musicians. "Looping" is a spacey-electronic piece for long continuous forms, hypno abstract ondulations, minimalist motifs and clear, sensual echoing guitar solos. A masterpiece and the best krautrock live document.
