This is truly one of the greatest German prog recordings to ever come from the
basement of the legendary producer Connie Plank. HOELDERLIN employ a wide range
of moods ranging from heavy psychedelic to child-like nursery time melodies.
Although this recording never really settles down on 1 theme, it does work well
in it's entirety. HOELDERLIN create deep dark Mellotron filled passages which
are surrounded by guitar, bass and drum interplay. Every song is very carefully
crafted and has an almost humorous component to them. Vocals and in English and
are very well done with some nice harmonies. The big hitter for me here is the
20 Minutes epic "Death Watch Beetle" which has some of the most captivating
progressive rock moments I have ever heard. HOELDERLIN has a very strong
underground German feel to it and stands in my mind as one of the pinnacle
progressive rock recordings of all time. A real gem!!!
