INSTANT DRONE FACTORY

And so Andrea Tabacco appears with rather excentric vocal management all the way through, which is alternating between scream, recitative and singing, in parts spirtually akin to Amon Düül's Renate Knaup-Krötenschwanz, I would say. Ain't Nobody opens suspense-packed. You can hear a releaxed jazzy piano but restless drums competing - something contradictive but definitely attractive - ultimately catching the attention - the guitars are taking a backseat here. This situation changes with the next song Put Down The Guns which bears a strong CAN flair due to the drums ... and the typical collaboration of both guitarists which stays for the rest of the album then.

The gloomy Out Of The Chaos shows a fantastic blend of soaring psychedelic guitars and shredding riffs, even coming close to a Greatful Dead or Byrds US westcoach style at the end. And then the furious Ghost Rider leads into the extended drawn-out title track which evolves with intriguing flair, again sensitive space guitar work is to state, surprsingly accessible and partially polyphonic vocals featuring Italian lyrics are offered this time. Thomas Hinkel serves some nice synth supplies in addition. Great spirit! They are following the Instant Composing principle - hard to believe that the songs evolved as a spontaneous arrangement in the studio, without any compositional framework given beforehand.

INSTANT DRONE FACTORY is another typical German neo krautrock project which refers to the 'good old days' without keeping it in that way. It may occur that the line-up will differ on live gigs, for the simple reason that the Japanese members aren't available at any time. 'Ho Avuto Paura Del Mare' represents a rather unconventional recording in any case. Though far away from simple noise or close-minded jam attitude, to make it clear, this is a highly recommendable effort which I really enjoy in the meanwhile. That means musicianship and production are flawless. If you like exceptional music and are able to make friends with the vocals in the end, nothing will stop you furthermore from being a fan of this album.
