NOSFERATU

A pretty much run of the mill heavy Krautrock album from 1970 which retains every cliche you'd expect from the era. A table-stamping rock animal that wants to thrust its crotch in your general direction just for the sake of it. It's still pretty good fun though. You can literally hear the enthusiasm that everyone has whilst playing their instruments.

If nothing else it deserves an extra point for the striking front cover. That's one that's instantly recognisable no matter where you see it.

Michael Thierfelder sounds just like Paul Di'Anno from 'Iron Maiden' minus the flutes and piano, oh and the saxophone too. Come to think of it they're a lot more inventive and innovative than 'Iron Maiden', displaying an inventiveness and playfulness that a lot of heavy rock bands didn't in 1970. Considering it's so old and displays such 'Joie de vivre' with so many instruments and effects I'm going to give this a somewhat prejudiced 3 stars. Damn... those flutes are cool.
