Album Notes & Community Reviews

Led by the visionary Florian Fricke, the German collective explored deeply spiritual and acoustic soundscapes influenced by Eastern religious traditions. Abandoning the aggressive electronics of their earliest work, the ensemble relies heavily on intricate piano melodies, tribal percussion, and choral vocal arrangements. The record serves as a profoundly meditative and trance-inducing entry within the cosmic krautrock canon.
