WIEDERHÖREN

Kraan's fifth studio album and not the most significant of what they can do at their best. This work is really more into a quick, light jazz rock style than into free (psychedelic) jazz. The main difficulty for my ears is that the compositions sound very dated, trying to catch the soul and the funky / disco wave of the moment. However we can't say that it is a bad album, it certainly contains less elements of improvisation and less experimentations but the band carries on very effective, dynamic jazz rock tunes, musically interesting. This album is also a more easy listening for newbies, more melodic too.
