LOTTERY OF MEMORIES

I'm not surprised to see Damo giving this an enthusiastic 5 star review. This band out of Germany created a dirty sounding Psychedelic beauty. Distorted guitar all over the place plus some great sounding bass. We do get organ but it's not nearly as prominent as the other instruments. Vocals are in English and they have character. This is a trippy record that is quite intoxicating. I loved it from the first spin. This is a little different lets put it that way. Roland Wehner is the leader and owner of the Coloured Rain label with a marijuana leaf as it's symbol like Garden Of Delights. On the back of the recording it says "Warning: This record contains some secret and mysterious messages and a number of top ten hits."

That opener is my favourite and a good song to sample to hear what they sound like. It's called "Walkin' On The Beach" and it's trippy and repetitive with vocals and guitar over that drum and bass foundation. Great sounding tune. I really like "Angelina" too at almost 10 minutes. Again this can be trippy and repetitive. Percussion and a calm at 5 minutes then back to the hypnotizing music. "Hello Goodbye" has some upfront organ for a change along with guitar to start. It settles as vocals and distorted guitar standout. Another winner as the vocals come and go.

"Samba For Lisa" is different with the acoustic guitar being added to the electric. The different percussion sounds too along with experimental sounds. If that song was a little different then so is the title track with the pan flute and guitar expressions. Exotic is the word. Vocals too and there's so much going on here. The closer features a lot of orchestral sounds making side two quite different from side one.

I highly recommend this to Krautrock and Psychedelic fans out there.
