These Spaniards certainly have a sense of humour with the name of their band and the album's title including the German word for "night". And I know a few people who feel this is a Krautrock album, it certainly has that spirit. Four long tracks over 41 plus minutes then a bonus track worth talking about bringing it to 47 plus minutes. Some horns too but this is keyboards, bass, guitar and drums with the guitarist being the singer and adding Rhodes and synths. Lots of organ mainly from the keyboardist but he also adds moog, synths and theremin.

Two things I've come to realize over the past year and that is that 2013 is a great year for me when it comes to Space Rock and also that Spain has produced some killer psychedelic albums over the years. So this recording has both of those features and it does not disappoint in the least. The Third Movement is interesting the way they integrate a movie scene audibly of course with their music. An intense movie scene between a male and a female goes on for some time.

Vocals on the opener but a killer instrumental section around 8 minutes in with guitar and keyboards leading the way. Before this some good contrasts between the powerful and laid back sections. That second track is pretty cool the way it drifts along with keyboards leading and spacey sounds. It turns intense with horns 2 minutes in then a dark calm 3 minutes in and then it will turn heavy after 5 1/2 minutes.

I really like the 70's vibe to this recording this is one that will get some time from me in the future. A solid 4 stars.
