Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by classical composer Peter Michael Hamel, this Munich-based collective forged a deeply meditative synthesis of minimalist modern classical music and traditional Eastern rhythms. Eschewing the motorik drive typical of Krautrock, the ambient, acoustic-heavy drone pieces serve as a direct precursor to world music fusion.

Genres

Descriptors: Fusion, instrumental, improvisational, ritualistic, expansive
