Last go around all of the posts for the day were sourced from Japan. It was a pretty facile way of generating a theme for the day. And my laziness knows no bounds so rather than come up with something clever, I'll just shift geography to another country already well known for their interplanetary explorations. So it is off to Germany for the day. I know this one isn't super obscure, but if you've only dipped your toes into the Krautrock miasma, then this one might have escaped your notice. And that really shouldn't be the case. Deuter (one dude) really shot for the cosmos with this one. Studio trickery, acid guitars, ethereal synths intertwine with hand percussion and Eastern instrumentation in a manner that makes this seem like something recently produced. Deuter later went in the more New-Agey direction, but still had some strong moments. But when you debut with a album of such high quality, it's almost certain that it's all downhill from there. Kind of like when your life peaked in junior high.Here
Nice. That's the nerdiest sleeve I've seen in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I've seen many hipsters in cities all over the place that look an awful lot like this. But then it's typically just stupid irony.
ReplyDeleteIt's the back cover that did it for me. I probably just need to get out more.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I kinda feel the same way. But then again, if you go out then you're forced to deal with a bunch of idiots. It's a toss up.
