MG.ART proudly announce the authorised 50th Anniversary Edition 2021 of the 1972 Original release, one of the most important German Krautrock albums. As for the info we refer to Julian Cope¡­s review in his ¡ÈKrautrocksampler¡É Book, Publisher : Head Heritage (1 Oct. 1995) : ¡ÈBeware of Schwingungen!¡É That should be the large sticker on the front of all copies of this record. For it is dangerous to be casually introduced to something that is life-changing, as I found out to my cost when first listening to this record. It all starts fairly simply and without any cause for alarm - ¡ÈLook at Your Sun¡É begins with a Doorsy lone groover guitar begins a pedestrian blues, beautiful. Then the most crushed voice, a cross between Johnny Rotten and Tiny Tim, preaches its way into the proceeds. God, it is beautiful - John L. repeats over and over, ¡ÈWe are all one, we are all one¡É, until a howling fuzztone solo guitar blows the whole onechord ¡ÈSigned D.C.¡É ringing-cymbals torture to an end. And then the most far out track of all begins. This is called ¡ÈFlower Must Die¡É and it is a free-rock giant that transcends everything else in its field (there are no contenders.) As I¡Çve written before, PIL sounds like this. John L. was John Lydon in a previous incarnation. After a slow weird build, a frantic streamlined one-chord mantra kicks in and it¡Çs like the Stooges¡Ç Funhouse period but in a Righteous Vision Zone that fucks them right off. LP.
