  Terrific Krautrock acid underground LP!
• 
  
• Next to EMBRYO, KRAAN were found to be among German groups skilled with ability to preform with psychedelic, ethnic elements and expressive innovative progressive-jazzy rock movements ...
• 
  
• The first (1972) KRAAN album represents their creative acid-rock abilities dominated by razor-sharp bass in command
• 
  
• The 1972 FIRST "KRAAN" LP
  
• contains never dull moments shifting into complexities riding unique wave layers unfolding with each successive listen!
      
• "Saras Ritt Durch Schwarzwald" begins this krautrock extravaganza! The energetic, explosive guitar work tears through the mind more unbelievably than over-hyped hailed heavy metal available in all supposed magnificent glory'. Definitely possesses a similar feel to early Amon Duul II. potentially futhering the rocking/heavier side in this track
  
      "M.C. Escher" a signature LP track finds trippy/space rocked/swirling guitar riffing quickly venturing into somber mood swings adding wah-wah accented saxophone, driving the trip in thrills thru Mexico. With wah-sax jamming, inventive percussion and guitar work accompanies effectively, eventually rebounding back to  melodic atmospheres, joining into territories of the song beginnings.
      
• "Kraan Arabia" opens to Arabian sounds reflecting its violin riff and conga drums. Abruptly head-slamming dominate guitar rushes amid wah-wah saxophone furthering the middle eastern zone, exemplifying intended adventurous journey. Contrasting melodic's , are centered to razor-bass solo work unifying in cosmic realms expressed into the "psychedelic underground" 

•   "Head" is a near 19-minute monster. Listen to the razor-bass work - phenomenal skills. The vocal melody is powerful and acid-guitars once again being in "blow away" mode; raw and aggressive in their attack. Expressive drumming, cymbal smashing and maddening guitar riffing assures the group had ability to preform including imaginative hypnotic injections taking the listener into yet anothr element of somberness spiced by middle eastern flavors to be  joined by acid-guitar building into yet ANOTHER mind explosion! What a song! "Sara Auf Der Gansewies" is a calm way to end the album.
  
      Overall, this is some of the most diverse and creative "Krautrock" caught on vinyl overflowing with energy, relentless excitement, and musical ideas coming together;
• a culmination of experimental, ethnic, psychedelic / acid rock and free-flight grooves completed by discreet electronic manipulations.
