The
German psychedelic world music band are back with a new CD in a small cardboard
sleeve with a glue on artwork as well as a double vinyl. It has different
versions of most of the songs from the Delayed Back CD from 2009 but they have
been remixed by various people. I have very mixed views of this material
actually. I have been a big fan of the bands Ozric Tentales like sounds that
they started off with and the way they have travelled a nice journey to create
their own psychedelic world music. Peninsolar starts things off with a chilled
dub vibe. Dschungelgelöt has this really chilled elevator techno jazz bar
feeling. Grant Lump also has this pretty smooth techno groove but I quite like
the violin line. Shinkenwurst Dub is just as it says, a very relaxed dub.
Vibrant Hydrant is also very chilled with a sax and some violin. Rumpankong
features some rapping and female vocals over a reggae style remix in this
Ramfma and knut remix. VeJon Kennedy does his own totally different remix of
Pennisolar and instead of dub this has a quite deep bass line and fast
programmed drumming. Tom tyler remixes
Vibrant hydrant in a very cool and psychedelic track. This was my favourite on
the remix record. Mahdrescher is another dub out trip mix. Rotterdub is a psacey
dub. He CD ends with Der heikle Mann, which is also pretty relaxed. Anyway,
some of these remixes have turned the band’s sound into some sort of laid back
lounge music, while others have maintained more of the original vibe. I like
the last half much better than the first. Take chance…
