4 stars A krautrock essential, recommended for everyone who Is interested in it.

Review #3. NEW! was a two man band that inspired a lot of 90's bands and this is their first album so now is the time to listen to it and find out why it's so important.

Hallogallo: Instrumental that constantly repeats the same theme, it seems like it's not going anywhere, but it ends up being very enjoyable and makes you want to listen to it on a loop despite its length. 8.5

Sonderangebot: Mainly ambient soundscapes, nothing really remarkable, but it's not superfluous and serves as an interlude between the previous song and the next. 7

Weissensee: Something similar to the first one in terms of approach and structure, but different in style, quite pleasant. 8

Im Gluck: Ambient, space and psychedelic track. The sound of the water helps the atmosphere of this and is a nice piece. 7

Negativland: At first it feels similar to some previous songs, but with time it gets better, in fact it's the best track on the whole album. 9

Lieber Honig: The only song with vocals on the album, quite minimalist and ambient. The voice sounds agonized and it's hard for me to tell if Klaus Dinger is really singing or just whispering, plus Im Gluck's water sounds reappear and are until the end of the track and album. 7.5

On a scale of 1 to 10 this album deserves 8.8, so I'll give It 4 stars ****
