Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting their extensive overland journey spanning from Germany through the Middle East to India, the pioneering krautrock collective delivered a monumental double-album fusion. The project vividly integrates regional acoustic instruments and local guest musicians into their sprawling, improvisational jazz-rock framework. It stands as a profound, early achievement in the synthesis of cross-cultural 'world music' and European experimentalism.
