MOJO Magazine: Buried Treasure Album That Time Forgot. 1. Watussi (6:00) 2. Sehr Kosmisch (10:58) 3. Sonnenschein (3:56) 4. Dino (3:32) 5. Ohrwurm (5:10) 6. Ahoi! (5:15) 7. Veterano (3:59) 8. Hausmusik (4:33) The debut Harmonia album is at once a product of their source bands and a fine new twist on them, resulting in music that captures what for many is the Krautrock ideal, or more accurately, the motorik ideal. Its not Kraftwerks all-synth, clean, clinical pulse, nor Neu!s seemingly effortless glide, nor Cans stomping art world funk. Instead its at once playful and murky, steady and mechanical, a supergroup of sorts who easily achieves and maintains such a seemingly overstated status by embracing a variety of approaches that work wonders. The players bring their usual multi-instrumental roles to the fore, ensuring that the end results achieve their own distinct sound -- this isnt simply Cluster with Rothers assistance or Rother trying for a solo record with Clusters backing. For all that, theres a touch more Cluster in the end -- the spacier parts on Musik Von Harmonia have that duos hushed chill, the electronic percussion of Rother meanwhile avoids his familiar crisp punch using real drums in Neu! outside of the perky Dino. Ohrwurm, meanwhile, has a strung-out guitar grind nicely offset by a far more restrained wail in the background, further backed by delicate keyboards and tones. When it comes to pure drift, the wonderful Sehr Kosmisch is the understandable winner, a nearly 11-minute-long piece that undeniably had to have been part of the attraction for Brian Eno in his later work with the band. A piano piece reminiscent of Eno collaborator Harold Budd drifts up and down through the mix of keyboard shimmers and electronic washes, resulting in a piece at once both meditative and gently rhythmic. Other songs, like Veterano and Watussi, suggest the electro-pop approach, which Kraftwerk inadvertently founded, but with their own quirky edge, rhythmic distortion, and guitar parts playing with the expected formula.-------------------------------------Torrent downloaded from http://thepiratebay.se
