THRAK

The third strong KC period started around 94-95 as a mixture of young and old blood and musically leaning stronger into 70's comparing to their 80's output. There are fewer new wave elements and rock sound is emphasizied. "VROOOM" is a great instrumental track full of promising moments, building tension and instrumental quality. "Coda Marine" feels like a continuation of the first track, notes falling down into darkness. "Dinosaur" is the most commercial track of late KC, a high quality memorable pop track still greatly arranged and performed. Vocal is strongly reminding John Lennon. Lennon's and this time also Beatles influence continue on "Walking on air", remotely reminding of "Sun King" from Abbey Road. This is a calm song with gentle guitar sounds. "B'Boom" is an experimental duet drum-driven truck that does not season well after repeated listens. "Thrak" is one of the darkest tracks on the album and strongly rooted in the KC trio's era of the 70's. "People" is the only track reminiscent of the 80's KC period with even some synths used. Vocals and drum patterns are creative. The ballads are represented by "One time" and "Inner garden II". "VROOM VROOM" is a strong composition characterized by ominous guitars, double drums, mellotron, not too different from Red. The last track goes doomy but lacks the creativity of "VROOM VROOM", however they hold well together.
