LET IT OUT

I first ran across this album when I found a copy of it for 50 cents at a local record shop back in the mid 1970's. I thought the cover art was really cool and of course I bought it.

Upon my first listening I was hooked! I loved this sound which was jazzy,but not too laid back. And also so powerful and beat driven,without being overpowering. Crisp,clean guitar riffs excuted perfectly are the order of the day with KRAAN. Minimal vocals are also present,but as with all KRAAN releases,the music is the main focus.

I was already a fan of krautrock having albums by CAN and NEU in my collection,so this find was a welcome addition.

Outstanding cuts include side one opener BANDITS IN THE WOODS and the title track LET IT OUT.

I still have that original fifty cent copy of LET IT OUT on PASSPORT label and after about 25 years it still plays perfectly!
