3 stars 3.5 stars. For me this is a step up from the previous album "Abgelaufen!" but it's not quite worth 4 stars. I suppose i've been spoiled by their excellent "Morbus" release, it's hard not to compare their earlier albums to "Morbus" when it was the first record by them that I had heard.

"Kwark" is the 20 minute opener. It has a mid-paced trippy beat throughout. The organ becomes more prominant 3 1/2 minutes in and the overall sound is building. Great sound 7 minutes in and later at the 9 minute mark, as we get some good organ runs as the drums pound away.

"Holzbock" is more uptempo with a catchy beat. I agree with Rivertree that this song recalls CAN. Guitar before 1 1/2 minutes joins in. Organ comes in before 4 minutes. "Columb" is the 11 minute closer. This is my favourite of the three tracks. It's led by heavy drums as organ and synths create an almost haunting atmosphere. Mellotron 7 1/2 minutes in.

I don't know but this record and the previous one just don't seem very inspired after listening to Morbus. It's like the latter is in colour, while the other two are in black and white.

Mellotron Storm | 3/5 |
