4 stars Repetitive hallucinogenic electronic organization in the similar vein of a Krautrock giant NEU!. HARMONIA's debut sound article "Musik Von Harmonia" is surprisingly flooded with not only inorganic but also heartwarming synthesizer-based electricadelic convolution. Their eccentric activity might intentionally regulate the inner mind of the audience I guess. In the very beginning of this album "Watussi" the electrogemic phenomenon can be launched over and over based upon sharp-edged beep / noise-oriented sound convulsion. Inorganic Dadaism sounds just like a cleanser bottle upon the sleeve.

Another masterpiece in this debut shot "Sehr Kosmisch", the longest track, would sound the most atmospheric, ambient, and simultaneously warmhearted I imagine. Could this gentle ambience with quiet and deep heartbeats be called as "fruits of the earth"? As if we were embryos in the womb, we are absorbed safe and sound, contrary to the previous one. And likewise, "Ahoi!" has splendid ethnic flavour along with loose electronika, that should be recommended for people hoping to have a dreamy trip, whether in a real life or in a dream.

A mass of variations are developed in a short track, and each track has kaleidoscopic theatrical scenes or characteristics ("Veterano" full of bombastic fragility psychedelia or "Hausmusik" dim brilliance under warping tempo produced with electronic organ sounds and percussion is one of my loves). Although a song sounds simple and monotonous, it has various directions for shooting multiple essence via synthesizers. Entirely the soundscape is filled with closed feeling and hard, itchy sound bullets but actually so frank and intelligible for the audience to fall into this creation. Their inorganic manner cannot simply be inorganic but pretty innovative.
