Review found on web: "To sum up things Affenstunde is milestone in progressive electronic music, culminating at the top of the most creative rock albums of the last century." -Philippe Blache 11/11/2005
Affenstunde appears to be based around interplanetary communications with strange moog murmuring and tuneless jitterings to the fore but interspersed with percussive rhythms. The occasional UFO is sighted on the horizon and your home movie is shaky and the whole picture drifts in and out of focus. The more you listen however you realise that it is all an elaborate hoax. The timescape suddenly shifts back to a tribal ritual past with every single pot and pan in the kitchen being utilised to its full potential. After a further period of ice-age the planet warms and we're into early spring with mists rising from the crisp waters and heading back out into space. There is no reply. The lengthy Affenstunde sets off on a collision course journey backwards and forwards through numerous visions of past wars and conflicts before the ghosts appear. Then its back to dialling the planets for signs of a better life but we can't quite break off our shackles and the plugs and cables do not quite reach or fit. We are alone but have to keep searching. -Shrimp
