SUBKRAUT - U-BOATS WILLKOMMEN HIER

Prog-heads, beware! Vespero's "Submarine Kraut" is a very special album, a sort of cheerfully crafted tribute to a sub-genre known as Kraut-Rock, in its groovy motoric form. The tracks are built around simple rhythmic beat-sequences and feature steady developing textural arrangements. The music is whole instrumental and ? if you listen to a quality disc instead of poor mp-rip ? reveals itself in sophisticated combinatorial interaction of multiple layers. Instead of simply following the path of their previous, highly acclaimed "By the Waters of Tomorrow" album, Vespero demonstrated a different approach to the creation of their music. This effort ? from the point of both artistic courage and capability to give adequate forms to initial ideas ? deserves the highest assessment. File it under: neo-kraut, space-rock, instrumental cross-over. 2xLP version of the album (by German Krauted Minds Records) also features 20+ minutes of extra-music - 2 parts of previously unpublished "Liventure N.8" opus.
