Album Notes & Community Reviews
As the Krautrock pioneers attempted to streamline their sprawling sound for a wider international audience, 'Hi-Jack' incorporates surprising elements of rhythmic funk and polished art rock. While it marks a significant departure from their chaotic improvisational roots, it features incredibly tight musicianship and distinct, sci-fi tinged atmospheres.
