2ND

Full of beautiful, melodic improvisations, this album shows the often-guised soft side of Krautrock. This album has foreshadowing of all kinds of genres that were to come, like post-rock, progressive electronic, and modern experimental. This LP is eclectic in every sense of the word. They expand on so many genres in each song, it's hard to pin a genre down before any others. From the first track, the epic pre-post-rock track 'First Communication', you can tell this album's bound to be great. By the second track, 'Dialogue and Random', you hear the band's experimental mind at full play. By the third track, 'Layla Pt. 1', you hear the hard-rocking, structural approach that Agitation Free takes. By part two of The third track, you experience experimental bliss as Stefan Diez nears shatters a guitar. At the fifth track, 'In The Silence Of The Morning Sunrise', you gladly don't hear silence; you hear a mind-blowingly chill, yet complex guitar solo over 'Echoes-esque' backing bass tracks. In the sixth and longest track, you hear electronic sounds that slowly build from pure noise to melodic musical grooves enough to put you in a trance. In the final track, you hear the only vocals on the album. The track, aptly titled 'Haunted Island', is truly eerie. The wind noises, the droning synths, and everything make for a spooky listen. And just as much as this song is scary, it is great, like the whole album is. I could not recommend this one more. Prog on!
