Search - Deuter :: Aum

Psychedelic & trippy

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Recorded in 1971, it is clear that certain psychedelic drugs most likely were influences in the creation of this music. 3-D sound effects similar to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" sweep accross your brain leading you to audio virtual environments and possibly into altered states of consciousness-- no drugs necessary.... Best listened to with headphones when you want to escape from reality."

Awesome adventurous trance-inducing kraut-rock

"I have heard a LOT of kraut-rock in the past few years. Tons of Faust, Can, Amon Duul, Agitation Free, Ash Ra Temple, Neu, etc etc etc....and this album by a guy I'd never heard of stands up there at the very top of the pile.He's often compared to Tangerine Dream , but I have yet to hear a TD album that makes my soul smile like this first album by Deuter. This is a wonderfully entertaining exploration of drones, swells, rhythms, and melodies. Deuter was clearly a student of Indian ragas, but he took that influence and mixed it with drug-tinged psychedelia and synthesizers to create a vibrant new hybrid.If you're into kraut-rock, world music, ambient, and/or psychedelia, you need to get this album. Also highly recommended to fans of Acid Mothers Temple and the new psychedelia....."
