TAGO MAGO

A classic, but not a perfect one. If you want some avantgarde-oriented album and not another boring Genesis clone, this album is what you're looking for. The thing is that things like "Aumgn" are not very great, and this songs are a bit too overlong (it was a double album after all). My favourite one is "Halleluwah" since that drum pattern is really amazing. Other tracks like "Paperhouse" are really good too. "Mushroom" is a nice "groovy" song, and one of the most accesible ones here. "Oh Yeah" sounds good, "Peking O" sounds truly insane (especially Damo Suzuki who sounds like if he needed to be taken to a psychiatrist), while "Bring Me Coffee Or Tea" is the most "relaxing" moment in "Tago Mago", and it sounds nice even if it's not the most unforgetable song here. This one also anticipates the style that they would develop in "Future Days". "Aumgn", however, is noise, with Liebezeit taking a break or something, since he hardly appears on this one. A very schizophrenic record. Good stuff.
