Album Notes & Community Reviews

Housed in a famously provocative cover directly parodying Frank Zappa, the power trio's sophomore release is a monolith of anarchic krautrock. Driven by Mani Neumeier's explosive drumming and Ax Genrich's heavily distorted, wandering guitar feedback, the record consists of four sprawling, largely improvised acid rock jams. It is a fiercely abrasive, anti-commercial document of the German underground.
