Papir – IX (2025)

2025 Denmark krautrock Papir psychedelic rock No Comments

“IX is the latest offering from Copenhagen’s foremost aural travellers. It’s wide open in every sense; from the flowing compositions – which linger but never overstay, jam and unfold organically – to the wonderful airy production, you get the sense of being both in studio with the band and simultaneously on the beach with wind blowing through your hair. Papir have long since perfected their trademark melange of melodic psychedelic rock, ambient meanderings and guitar freakouts, and IX is the latest in a never-miss catalog of releases.”

Achim Reichel & Machines – Echo (1972)

1972 Achim Reichel Germany krautrock space rock No Comments

“Producer, composer and musician, Achim Reichel is a key figure in the explosion of krautrock… Late 60’s he launched his first solo musical project called A.R and the machines. Musically it provides a supreme sonic musical voyage turned to cycled psychedelic guitar playing with lot of echoes and delay… Today A.R and the machines remains a high class standard of hypnotic space-echo guitar inventions.”

Kraan – Live (1975)

1975 Germany jazz fusion Kraan krautrock No Comments

“Next to EMBRYO, KRAAN are among those German groups who include psychedelic, sometimes ethnic elements to their distinctive, innovative jazz rock. At the beginning of their career, started in 1970, KRAAN free form jazz rock was really into jam sessions, totally improvised, mainly instrumental (featuring sax sections and many guitar / bass solos)… Really imaginative, inspired and technical these albums provide something new and amazing: an absolute trippy ethnic jazz rock. This particular facet of the KRAAN music culminates with their masterwork “Live” (1975).”

The Cosmic Dead – Infinite Peaks (2024)

2024 krautrock space rock The Cosmic Dead UK 2 Comments

“A new record from Glasgow-based space rock group! Infinite Peaks is the long awaited ninth full length album from tumultuous Glaswegian astral travellers The Cosmic Dead. The album features two extended incantations recorded and mixed at Glasgow’s 16 Ohm Recording Studio. Their exploratory compositions often reach levels of sonic destruction through reflective repetition and visceral harmony.”
