Sankt Otten
Gottes Synthesizer
GOTTES SYNTHESIZER continues this way into synths heaven. A paradise of warm analogue sounds, sequencer lines and electric drums garnished with the typical soaring guitar drones of OLIVER KLEMM as the red line of the album. With ingredients reminding of the german pioneers of progressive electronic music Sankt Otten are moving the Krautrock elements into a new context. With "Fast neu ist auch gebraucht" the full length includes an homage to the old Krautrock heroes NEU! just as a ROBERT FRIPP influenced 13 minutes monster piece like the title track Gottes Synthesizer. Other songs ("Die Welt ist ja nicht zum aushalten" or "ich verlasse mich selbst") are rather influenced by STEPHAN OTTENs energetic electric drums. Mellow epic ambient hymns like "Wir sind deine Propheten" or "Das Ende vom Lied" are their great instrument to create a connection between specific soundscapes to make a coherent album out of the single tracks. The main excellence of this full length is that SANKT OTTEN are combining influences of an old genre with elements of todays music to a new interesting mixture. The vinyl comes as a thick 180g gatefold version. FOR FANS KLAUS SCHULZE, ZOMBI, BRIAN ENO or KRAUTROCK in general.
