 OUT OF FOCUS were helped by A good promotion during 1970/71, ''See How AWHITE Negro Flies'' was included in Polydor's compilation ''Sounds '71'' andThe tracks ''BLUESundayMorning '' became part of Kuckuck's ''SiebenSiebzig'' compilation. Six months after The release of ''Wake Up !''The Germans visitedThe Bavaria Studios in MunichTo recordASecond Album , which STRANGELY carriedThe nameofThe group asA title. Kuckuck was again The publisher.
While '' Wake Up !'' was A typical Kraut Rock album withPsychedelic leftoversFromThe 60's, thisOne seeTheband exploring The more experimental sideof rockMUSIC and this is pretty obvious alreadyFromThe short openers ''WhatCanA poor boy do'' and ''It's yoursLIFE '', which are dominated by A collectionof Sounds and sights, containing inspirationsFrom Folk, Blues and Jazz, characterized by frenetic rhythms, nervous sax solos, Psychedelic organ runs and calm acoustic textures, notTo mentionThe jazzy pianoofThe second piece. These work as A nice introduction ToThe veryLong ''Whispering'', whichSounds likeA rougher PASSPORT, featuring extended instrumental jams withA pounding rhythm section, usually overpowered byThe furious electric guitar of Drechsler and Neumueller's powerful saxes, leading into experimental, jazzy improvisations andA coupleof beautiful sax solos overThe hypnotic bass linesof Howhey.''BLUESundayMorning '' is another attempt On Kraut Folk Rock byThe band withA Narcotic electric guitar playing alongside The archaic flutes, before Hering's organ givesLIFEToA dramaticHEAVY /Psych Rock cut. Not really fond of The ROLLING STONES'-like vocals. The 17-min. ''Fly bird fly-Television program'' is more or less A good definition of Kraut Rock with strongPsychedelic and folk influences. Again The vocals are rather weak, but TheMUSIC is interesting pretty with some great organ runs and sax interventions, Drechsler's guitar solos are absolutely efficient andThe piece alternates between smooth and punchy segments withA fantastic ending section inThe veinof early ELOY, characterized by tremendousEnergy and featuring Drechsler, Hering and Neumueller's active battle On individual solos.
Solid Kraut Rock with jazzy influences and nods To Folk MUSIC . Passionate, efficient material, even if it lacks some great moments. Recommended. (apps79/progarchives.com)
