review...
A Krautrock legend, famous for their debut album VAMPIRE STATE
BUILDING recorded at Wümme (best-known as the home of Faust) one of those
rare gems that fused a variety of patent Kraut styles into something original
and new. You'll hear in that LP shades of the UK fusion and Canterbury scene,
and some Zappa/Mothers-isms too, fused with Can and Faust, and elements of
Eiliff, Gila and Frumpy. After that they changed somewhat adopting German
lyrics and a more offbeat satirical twist sometimes hinting at the likes of Checkpoint
Charlie, Floh De Cologne or Franz K. The very German underground underbelly
of Krautrock, at the cutting edge of new invention, is what's presented on
this live recording MADE IN GERMANIA which explores pop culture from an angle
that even I don't fully understand, yet the creativity of the music is so
fresh and charged that who cares what they're singing about when it sounds
this good? After this Alcatraz made another album in the
"polit-rock" vein ENERGIE PROGRAMM IN ROCK and then moved into instrumental
jazz-fusion realms with LIVE "TROCKENEIS ZUM FRÜHSTÜCK" - both
albums screaming for reissue if you ask me. Alcatraz have kept going in some
form ever since, and this Cosmic Egg release coincides with their 44th
anniversary!
