Klaus, now on Brain, seemingly recording with proper synths for the first time. The art reminds me a little of the Saturday Night Suit 45 but it's clearly way more serious. Klaus is a busy man - Discogs lists 68 releases for him and given the high standards on this record and irrlicht, he may warrant a little more investigation.
So Blackdance - standard Kraut fare mark 2 - i.e. two long tracks and one very short one. The first one comes off all Dario Argento. Tons of synths and some little bits of harpsichord before raising the tempo with drums and some more synths. Presumably when the lady of the film is being attacked my a man with a black glove. Again. The drums and tempo take away from the Zeit sweet spot but it keeps balance and remains a fairly solid affair.
Some Velvet Phasing is short and excellent - synth phasing for about eight minutes. A little too simple but straight from the book of Zeit. Voices of Syn is the real triumph. Klaus wheels on a mate to do some Church type hymn mutterings before going into big church organ and noodly synth and some ticky ticky drumming. The church organ ties it back to Zeit but the drums moves it forwards. It's really really good.
So that was Klaus - the revelation of Zeit and the continued theme through this is fascinating. Next week though is Tarot week, the week I've been looking forward to all year. Bring back the Cosmic Jokers!
