2 stars A disappointing album from old Klaus. I much prefer his previous 3 albums. This one's more non-desrcript and directionless. It sounds nice enough with lots of great pulsing Analogue keyboards, but it's music by rote - a mechanical repetition of ideas.

'Picture Music' - is a much smoother and refined album than his earlier recordings and actually suffers because of this approach. No matter how many times I hear it, it's almost forgettable at its conclusion. It just sounds lazy and un-inspired, particularly if you listen to the following masterpiece (Time Wind (1975).

'Blackdance(1974)' had a dark ominous feeling while being more acoustic. 'Cyborg(1972)' dealt with deep swathes of electronic eeriness and 'Irrlicht (1971)' had a 19th Century Classical uniqueness all of its own.

'Picture Music' is a dull grey slab wedged in between these great albums.

Poor.
