PETE NAMLOOK & K. SCHULZE: THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOOG VI

It offers weak and long interludes ("Part I") while some other moments are pure magic and fully Floydean oriented ("Part II"). I guess that the latter corresponds more to the "world" that one can imagine for this long sequence of albums. A deep and wonderful highlight for sure.

The problem is that it is one of the few?Some other "Parts" are quite difficult to swallow, even for die-hard fans of the great man as I am. Techno beats for a long while ("Part III"), jazzy items for short ones (not too bad actually like during the closing fourth part).

Still, the best is reached with the epic section ("Part V") which is a pure marvel of a melody as Klaus has used us to in the seventies. Splendid harmony, cold beauty, simple passion, skilled song writing and of course perfect execution. A perfect travel into TD and Floyd. What else can you expect?

Just some splendid key lines, I guess?And you'll definitely get them.

This long section is formidably saving the bill for this sixth leg of this dark side of the moog. Actually, the last part is also gorgeous and provides the same shivering skin effect. A memorable and grandiose piece of music.

I rate this album with three stars overall, but be aware that there are some darker and less appealing sides here as well; which means that there are also masterpiece songs to make the balance.
