GILA [AKA: FREE ELECTRIC SOUND]

Excellent debut of early project of guitarist Conny Veit (Popol Vuh and Guru Guru). Very spacey, based on melodic heavy keyboards. With long rock improvs (and you will easy hear bluesy rock roots in that music).

Mostly instrumental work contains long compositions, and I like that melodic spacey sound, with electric heavy guitar soloing, mid tempo almost Floydian liquid sound, full-bodied and quite atmospheric music at the same time. No too much electronic effects, no overweighed soundscapes. Excellent simple sound, where spacey castles are build not by electronics, but by keyboardist and guitarist master musicianship.

Possibly greatest moment of this album is that it being an easy accessible work contains all the best early spacey krautrock elements at their best form. Accessible krautrock's cornerstone?

I can really recommend this album for krautrock newcomers - you wouldn't be disappointed!
