Christian Von Eschersheim biography
Wolfgang 'Zabba' LINDNER from Hamburg is more known as the drummer for jazz rock band RELEASE MUSIC ORCHESTRA or TOMORROW's GIFT; his collaboration in the likes of electronic music with Adelbert Von DEYEN on some of his albums for example wasn't his main niche so when LINDNER decided to release a light krautrock record in 1980 (inspired by the similar later style of Michael ROTHER for example), he used the nickname Christian Von ESCHERSHEIM to distinguish this album from the rest of his musical discography.

A delightful and danceable electro-pop creation. To be honest, it's a big surprise this album is in Krautrock Library ... there is no multi- rhythmic element nor weird melodic complication like authentic Krautrock but catchy phrases drenched in monotonously percussive electronica. Christian's melody lines can be digested and absorbed in our brain just like a background music played in a supermarket store. The whole content of this album can be said as weak as an agenda by a Japanese politician, let me say. The first track "La Belle" or another incarnation of the first shot "Zita" is a good example.

Christian's simple, monotonous vibes sometimes reminds me of Neu!-ssence actually, and this tricky, trippy movement would be thought like Krautrock indeed, but even the titled track (and the longest one in this album) sounds simply like a electronic ballad with mellow atmosphere ... as if we would bend an ear to an easy-listening like Paul Mauriat (my favourite) or Franck Pourcel. In general, his 35 minute (upon Side A and B both) is kinda pop pleasure, without any innovative moment. Enjoyable, it's true, but cannot say this be Kraut-ish nor progressive. Never recommended as a progressive rock album (definitely there are pros and cons methinks) ... I love this stuff though.

Thanks to philippe for the artist addition.
