Unfortunately, much of the rest of the record does not live up to the promise of that first track, coming off like a typical early-’70s hard rock band, with belted vocals and maybe some occasionally interesting guitar work. Definitely an almost classic album of the early Kraut Rock scene. Maybe a bit too simplistic on the Hard Rockin’ cuts, but the more atmospheric pieces or moments are certainly rewarding.
