Metabolismus ~ Sprießwärtsdrall (2001)

The Germans of Metabolismus define a 90's revival of Krautrock, taking high the early 70s psychedelic influences (especially from Amon Duul, Can & Faust). Wild, weird and found of electronic experimentations this musical formation also investigates in RIO / avant prog territories. Metabolismus clearly goes beyond the current specifications of a rock band, constantly in "flux", in search of different projections to create a world of dream representation, freedom and surreal musical spheres. After living in a relative discretion (publishing something like fourty albums) the band emerges from the dark with their "Terra Incognita" (published in 1999 by Blackjack). This album presents different sources of musical aspiration, from minimal electronic, ambient, 60s psych to jazz. In this one we can detect the influence of late 70's German pre-ambient explorers as Harmonia and Cluster. Their Second release "Spriebwartsdrall" combines with quality different electronic motifs with an avalanche of psychedelic effects and free noises. An original musical phenomenon. Hard to find an equivalent in the new progressive rock scene.

Freak folk. Not that freaky; not so folky. More in an ambient vein.

Four Tet ~ Rounds (2003)



Does this guy (Kieran Hebden, also of Fridge) ever miss? Not very often, it seems.

I pick up his stuff 10 - 15 years after he churns it out.

I'm a trendy hepcat.

This album was a bitter disappointment to me. I expected so much more.

I liked it, but then I'm not that familiar with their previous work, so I had no expectations.
