Brave New World - Impressions on Reading Aldous Huxley 1973

Exceptional psych-electronic rock experimentations by another obscure 70's band from Germany. This album is said to be inspired by Aldous Huxley's famous, enchanting writings & mystical philosophy. It's clear that the entirety of the album is assured by a vast arsenal of weird incantations and deep hallucinogenic effects. The content is very colorful, luminous, eclectic and perfectly orchestrated. Nothing is linear or boring and the psych grooves work like magic. It's not easy to understand in one listening to the complexity of this release. In some aspects, it tends to be near to kraut-experimentations but without the sinister vibe, the ambiances provided are rather optimistic and enthusiastic. The prologue is based on dreamy-like flute lines and tranced-out organic drones. "Alpha Beta Gamma" is an epic, progressive spacey rock composition dominated by soft, pop, floating-sounding improvisations. "Lenina" is an enigmatic, fragile, celestial song for the flute, moody bass lines, a beautiful air. "Soma" is a really stoned, kraut, outer space experience, featuring a lot of intergalactic electronic sounds and massive rocking energy! "The end" is the central piece here, a majestic "cosmic" rock essay with a lot of guitars, sax, dreamy flutes, and weird effects. Epilogue is a recitation. A mesmeric, highly inspired psychedelic album. A little classic! "Progarchives"
