TON STEINE SCHERBEN-WENN DIE NACHT AM TIEFSTEN..., 2xLP, 1975, GERMANY, NWW LIST

Fairly stunning Polit-rock mongering from these NWW listed Krautrockers who operated in the grand German tradition of Checkpoint Charlie, Floh De Cologne and Kollektiv Rote Rube. Not understanding a word of German is surely hindering a deeper appreciation of it's contents for me, though there's so much else here to revel in that you'll scarcely feel deprived, with this double album of theirs featuring perhaps their most musically advanced output extant. Some really stunning and wide ranging probings here, that cover the gamut from brusque and snarling hard-rockish bits akin to later Checkpoint Charlie to more fluidly krautrockin' material whose level of musical development and innovation sometimes warrant comparisons to Embryo and Amon Duul 2.
