Schwingungen (Remastered)
We proudly announce the CD REmaster Edition Of the 1972 Original release , one of the most important German Krautrock albums - Remastered by Manuel Göttsching himself.
As for the info we refer to Julian CopeÂŽs review in his âKrautrocksamplerâ Book, Publisher : Head Heritage (1 Oct. 1995) :
âBeware of Schwingungen!â That should be the large sticker on the front of all copies of this record. For it is dangerous to be casually introduced to something that is life-changing, as I found out to my cost when first listening to this record. It all starts fairly simply and without any cause for alarm - âLook at Your Sunâ begins with a Doorsy lone groover guitar begins a pedestrian blues, beautiful. Then the most crushed voice, a cross between Johnny Rotten and Tiny Tim, preaches its way into the proceeds. God, it is beautiful - John L. repeats over and over, âWe are all one, we are all oneâ, until a howling fuzztone solo guitar blows the whole onechord âSigned D.C.â ringing-cymbals torture to an end. And then the most far out track of all begins. This is called âFlower Must Dieâ and it is a free-rock giant that transcends everything else in its field (there are no contenders.) As I've written before, PIL sounds like this. John L. was John Lydon in a previous incarnation. After a slow weird build, a frantic streamlined one-chord mantra kicks in and itâs like the Stoogesâ Funhouse period but in a Righteous Vision Zone that fucks them right off. Phasing tears at the whole tracks as this Holy Racket crosses into Hyper-space and everything gets all hyphenated just-forthe-sake-of-it. âFlowers Must Dieâ, man, itâs fucked up. Over on Side 2, the title-track (âVibrationsâ) begins poetically enough with Wolfgang Mullerâs epic and hugely reverbed vibraphone. Organ fades in and FX guitars, and time passes by. Finally, tom-toms roll and the developing pace is built upon until that great eternal chord sequence finally materialises â this is the one that Göttsching and Enke believed was the sound of heaven. They may have been right. And Schwingungen was a gift from the Gods.â
